What is the Bubble in Poker?
The bubble in online poker has nothing to do with Juicy Fruit, Hubba Bubba or Gator gum. Nor is it a reference to living in privileged isolation. Rather, it is the last player not to be in the money.
When you are the bubble boy or bubble girl, you are the poor sod who misses out on getting paid – and by the slimmest of margins. To put it another way, the bubble is the cut-off point between nothing… and money.
It is one step behind the precise locale where the prize pool is sliced up and shared amongst the remaining players. When you end on the bubble, you are the dunce. Conversely, all the other players at the poker table are knee-deep in dollars!
How Bubble Protection Works
With bubble protection there is nothing to fear. Even if you don’t get to the money end, you get something out in the form of the bubble protection tournament buy-in and fee. That said, the payback only applies when you are dead on the bubble.
How do you get bubble protection? That is easy. Simply register for the bubble protection tournament of your choice before the action begins. That way, you are automatically covered against the potential loss of the price of admission.

Here is a brief breakdown of the Juicy Stakes Poker tournaments with built-in bubble protection:
Bubble Protection for Bounty Hunters
Bounty hunters have a choice of standard and progressive bubble protection bounty tournaments. The game is Texas Holdem and buy-ins start at just $1.10. As with all bounties, a percentage of the buy-in is assigned to each player’s head.
Here is the deal people. When you eliminate other players, you get the bounty on their heads. Reach the money positions and you snap up a slice of the prize pool. End on the bubble and you get your buy-in back. What is there not to like about an arrangement like that!
Sunday Specials with Built-In Bubble Protection
Sundays are fun days at Juicy Stakes Poker. The end of the week is when the Sunday Myriad events take precedence. They kick off at 16h00 EST and feature Texas Holdem as the game of choice.
Buy-ins are fixed at $115 and $10 and you will be gunning for a piece of $10,000 GTD. As tournament structures range from deepstacks with $10,000 in starting chips to progressive bounty and BIG bounty events, there is literally something for everyone!
If six handed poker is your preference, you will find the Sunday Six Max tournaments right up your street – it can be the fourth or fifth street at that! Buy-ins start from a meagre $3 & $0.30 and there is up to $1,500 GTD in prize money at stake. In this format, it is Texas Holdem all the way!
Starstruck Poker Tournaments with Refunds on the Bubble
Compete in the Antares events and you get a $5,000 starting stack. There is a 10,000 chips add on and if you get in the money, you walk away with a slice of the $1,500 prize purse. Buy-ins are fixed at $20 & R2 across the board.
If that doesn’t swing it, there is a small range of Star-Themed bubble protection tournaments to pick and choose from. In this generic category of competitive poker, the formats are bounty and superstacks with both Texas Holdem and Omaha in the fray!
Get the Advantage – Play Bubble Protection Tournaments Online
When you register early and get bubble protection at Juicy Stakes Poker, it can give you a slight advantage over the players that didn’t qualify for cover. As the bubble approaches, it is natural for most folks to tighten up their game.
That gives you the opportunity to play more aggressively and build your chip stack. If you do end on the bubble, it is not a train smash. You know you’ll get back both your buy-in and entry fee! Now that is the way to play tournament poker at Juicy Stakes!
