Playing the Bubble in Tournaments

Do you tighten up a lot on the bubble, or do you take advantage of players who are trying to sneak into the money?

Depends on your stack size. Big stacks pressure mid stacks, shortstacks play a bit tighter than average, mid stacks get nitty. Though it also depends on your field and how many ICM kamikazes are out there, the more there are, the tighter you want to play in general.

I agree, it’s definitely a stack size strategy thing on the bubble.

Definitely many factors but the goal should never be to min cash with the exception of a big tourney you won a ticket in and a min cash is a significant br booster

Stack size strategy if a none turbo and are we playing a turbo - make them short stacks sweat! Give the table the vibes your the kamikaze and If not that much of a stack and if a none turbo I would tighten up at the bubble. Not worth it doing blind stelas then and I rather have some stack to play with when bubble bursts

I push

I've try to push few times and got bad beats every time I think this year only once it actually work't for me on the bubble. there are a lot of small stacks ready to shove just to escape the bauble pressure and a lot of players with big stacks to push. So if I'm middle lately I just wait few hands to end it.

If I play freeroll, than my main goal is to get place in money.
But ofcourse, at buyin tournaments, and low ones, you always go for the last table.😎

Talking about , bubble players, ofcourse , you try to take advantage, if you have more chips. Poker is about last standing wins. So you have to knockout as many you can.🤘
