What's your favorite and why?

Depends on table composition.

Are there other big stacks at the table? Is the table tight? Are the blinds significant?

Who is in the 3 or 4 seats to your immediate left and the one to your right make a big difference.

If you're surrounded by significantly smaller stacks, there's no other big stack at the table, the blinds are significant to the average stack size, and it's a tight table, then I'd start open raising every pot and following up with a 1/2 pot continuation bet on every flop. When the someone (or the whole table) starts playing back at you, tighten back up. As the table tightens up again, loosen up and start open raising more pots.

In blind vs. blind battles, I will raise and reraise.

If someone comes over the top of one of your flop bets, consider whether they're playing back at you or not. If you think they are, then just come over the top for all their chips. If you think they've got a hand and you don't, then fold.

Remember, you can bust them and they can't bust you. If that means something to them, then use it against them. If they're not afraid to bust out (typical of online tournaments), then tighter play is required.

hmm .. this will make me popular..

I got CL in a tourney today and got to 4x buy in (no rebuy and add on) so....... I "Bobbed" it.... Be's going to hate that. Came 7th (ITM out of 98) but a coin toss AQ vs JJ would have put me well into the big money.I was a long way from smallest stack when I took the coin toss offer...

Under certain circumstances you stop playing....

KINGJACK brought this up here. It's a pretty good thread:

What does 'Bobbed it' mean?

Thank you Irexes.

The Bobber will often switch off chat to avoid the abuse that ensues.

While not illegal, Bobbing is frowned upon by many as unethical. see Beavis .noun
