Do you tend to play cautiously or aggressively when approaching the bubble?

I think you have to play aggressively and take advantage of it to win a lot of chips at that stage, where everyone is playing cautiously.

I usually play very cautiously in the bubble, but I can't deny that on some occasions I can play aggressively but that may have a good reason and that is if, for example, I lead in chips or If I have many more chips than the rest of the players at the table I can play a little more aggressively, as long as I have a good margin to make a mistake.

I play very cautiously (probably too much) because I really hate to leave empty-handed after playing so many hours.

You with good cards have to be aggressive, with weak cards, the normal thing is to be moderate

Cautiously, but I tend to play that way under most circumstances.

I think I play too aggressively near the bubble, which often makes me the bubble boy. How do you adjust your strategy when approaching the bubble? For instance, would you fold AQs with 12bb pre-flop if it’s the bubble?
"would you fold AQs with 12bb pre-flop if it’s the bubble?"
It depends on what type of tournament we are talking about. If we are talking about hyper or turbo tournaments, I will go all-in with this hand. If the tournament is slow, then fold is an option, but it will depend on my position and the situation in general.
