 question 2 - when i am in a tournament how do i find out where the bubble is?

i apologise if these are stupid questions but i really don't know.

ps. i finished 4th in a field of 164 in a £2.20 scary. is this any good?

very funny ha ha

if you are serious then here you go but your not really are you!!

'Freeze out' means that you can not buy in anymore than once in a game or add on any more.
'The Bubble' means you finished 1 less place before the money or getting paid

welcome to you m8 youll settle in nicely good luck although you seem to have started well with that placing.

No questions are stupid.

1. To clarify the previous answers, a "freezeout" is a standard poker tournament where no re-buys (or add-ons) are allowed. Once you have lost all your chips you are out of the tournament. All MTTs (multi-table tournaments) on Sky Poker currently are freeze-outs although this may change in the future.

2. To find out where the "bubble" (i.e. the last place before the prize money) is in a tournament on Sky Poker, open the tournament lobby up and click on the 2nd tab that says "Blinds & Prize Structure". This will show you how many places are paid and how much each place gets paid. Remember that this will change before the tournament starts as more people join the tournament. As a rough "rule of thumb" a little more than 10% of the field get paid in most MTTs.

If you need any more information feel free to PM me or ask on this thread.

Congratulations on your success.
