D or N bubble

[rgchan]

I hate the multi-tablers who double up early in an ALL IN showdown.Then they sit-out and concentrate on there other games running in those double or nothings.This only puts more pressure on you and the rest of the table to do the work.6 Players left everyone should attack the Short Stacks Blinds at every opportunity to weaken him more.Otherwise it becomes a stalemate waiting game which is boring I agree.

How do we figure that they're 'sitting out'... when maybe they realize that getting involved in pots w marginal hands, or risking spewing off chips is just not advisable in a DoN (ie. alot of times, winning more chips does not outweigh the risk of losing chips... better to just maintain a decent stack with fold equity for bubble play, especially if you've already doubled up in early levels).
I don't think it's anyone's 'job' to 'do the work' on the bubble of any SNG. When one stack is short on the bubble, you REALLY don't want to be raise/stealing vs. them in my opinion as you'll be priced in to call when they shove back at you....and all you'll be doing is spewing off valuable fe.
If I had a bigstack in a DoN, I'm definitely not going to risk spewing off chips in an effort to put pressure on a ShortStack. THere's no benefit for myself in doing so. If you think they're playing poorly by doing sitting back then I'd consider reading up on ICM & how it comes into play for a DoN.

ICM is the key in DoNs, also in other SNG btw.
Never call another ones allin, unless AA/KK.
Go allin urself dont call allins.
