Level 273 tips:

Before throwing any bubbles, look at the colors of bubbles immediately beyond the poison bubbles, and as much as possible save those colors in your queue, throwing other colors instead. Use your first throw to collect a prize. Immediately use this firebomb on the blower, landing it in the position adjacent to both the blower and the first bubble blown by the blower. This will not only wipe out the blower, but also all of the poison bubbles. Work your way to the two locks as efficiently as possible, for example by throwing bubbles to bridge together two separated bubbles of the same color. Collect the other prize when a not-so-useful color appears in the queue. When the two locks are popped and chain removed, you will may still have 45 or more bubbles, if things went well and were done efficiently. As soon as the chain is gone, throw the second firebomb straight up. This will take out four doom bubbles. Now throw bubbles into the newly-created gap to create clusters with the bubbles already there that are acting as supports for the arms of the structure extending downward, causing these arms to drop off. Continue working up, always taking the best shot available to drop structure, either with shots up through the middle or banked off the walls to the outside parts of the structure's arms. Free the babies in the same way.

Thanks,I will try to do this. I had tried avoiding the poison bubbles..but of course that takes way too many to get to the locks. I had tried using the prize right away and getting rid of the blower and poison bubbles. The way I was doing it tho I would only have 25 or so bubbles left. Ok, crossing fingers..lol.
Thanks!
