Can someone explain to me what the phrase "on the bubble" means please?

msaban · 16-12-2006, 23:05

the last person out, before the money / prizes are awarded. I tend to spend a lot of time there myself, its a very nice place to be !!!

Definition is as Mike says

Is quite an interesting time in a tournament because natural instinct is to just try and hold on and limp into the prizes and not risk your tournament at this stage ...... good players tend to loosen up though as other players tighten up - if they bubble, so be it, but the times they win a big prize will generally be worth more than winning more smaller prizes......

Thanks Sam that looks really useful

Just to make sure I understand, did Spurs finish "on the bubble" with regards to the Champions league last year?

Hehe - you've got it mate

Usually used in phrases like: "I went out on the f**king bubble again !"

Another one! What does "on tilt" or "xxxx player tilted" mean?

Thank you

On tilt refers to a player going a bit crazy after suffering a bad beat (or reacting to trash talk etc.) playing cards he wouldn't normally.

Cheers Mick - I think I did that in the betdirect freeroll yesterday
