Lion or lamb

When a tournament approaches the money bubble, every remaining player must decide if they want to play like a lion or play like a lamb. Lions are going for the money up top; lambs are just going for a min cash.

This is an excerpt from my July 20, 2020 post. Last night, I played like a lion. On my last hand, I was Caboose Boy on the money bubble. I was dealt the king and queen of spades, and flopped an open-ended straight draw. Both of my hole cards were overcards to the board. I got all my chips in the middle, but the turn and river were both blanks. In a New York minute, Caboose Boy became Bubble Boy. No regrets, though.
