Good Article, Steve.


I see a thread where you answer questions on poker books,

I have one about this article on bubble protection,
So do they take in to account your past performances?

So If I wanted protection and say a super famous high flying pro like Daniel Negreneu or
Azzclown wanted protection; would I have to pay more than them?

Move this to an official ask Steve-o about my articles thread if you start one.

I believe it's based on the buy-in. I'm not sure the exact calculation, or if they take into account the number of people that have bought insurance for the tournament. But it "seems" to me it's simply a matter of selling enough insurance in an event that it's a freeroll. If they have to cover 100 extra spots and they have 100 people buy insurance they'll still make money off the vig.

Honestly, I really haven't looked into it deep enough to see how worthwhile it is, and in the end my guess is that it would be slightly -EV but would drastically reduce variance --although as i hypothesized it could make your Bubble game really good since you really don't have to worry about busting (basically your bubble is at a completely different time than everyone else's, which seems like a huge advantage to me).

I would assume the 2+2 crowd has looked into this very deeply and there is probably a 120 page thread on it where nothing has been agreed upon and the topic has now switched to Sprel Mizzi bottom-dealing or something along those lines

Looks like a good article and great PR...
