Bubble

In a tournament situation it refers to when there is just one player left in the tournament before the prizes will be paid to the remaining players. The last infrared marked cards player eliminated who does not get a prize is commonly referred to as the "Bubble Boy”.

EXAMPLE "I always seem to bubble $3.30 180 man MTTs.”

Early Position

At a poker table, the first 2 people to act before the flop are called early position. These positions are directly to the left of the dealer’s button and are usually referred to as UTG and UTG+1. At a full ring 10 player table, the early positions consist of UTG, UTG+1 and UTG+2.

When playing hands in early position, most players will be raising a fairly narrow range of hands, as there are many players still left to act in the hand, and when you get called, there is a good chance that you will have to play the hand out of position, which means we will be first to act after the flop.
