Bubbling the first money jump

I first used this blog post title on March 11, 2018. Here's an excerpt of what I had to say:

Just as there are different ways to exit a tournament, there are different ways to bubble. Bubbling the tournament itself is the least desirable, since there's no profit involved. I prefer to make a profit when I bubble :-)

Last night, I bubbled the first money jump again, so I min cashed. Once again, I entered the tournament with just one minute left in the late registration period. That's my new favorite way to join an MTT NLHE :-)

Bubbling the first money jump

I prefer to make a profit when I bubble :-) That's what I did last night; I bubbled the first money jump, so I only min cashed. I only fired 3 bullets, though, so I made a tidy profit.
