Handling bubble pressure with medium stacks

[babyrosejr]

When you are on the bubble with a medium stack (around 25–35bb), how do you adjust your play? Do you push harder to steal blinds, or do you play more carefully to secure ITM? I often feel torn between protecting my stack and exploiting the fear of shorter stacks. What’s your approach in these spots?

With 25-35bb left and the bubble online you only get to see maybe 5 hands at most before it bursts.....for me it's an easy fold to make the money unless you have AA. With AA it's a jam.

Cheers!!!

it's not a big stack to put pressure on, with a stack like this there's a chance it'll get even smaller. especially if there's a crazy player sitting at your table with a stack bigger than yours

I think with medium stack you should calm down and wait for the elimination of shortstacks. They are under pressure and if they don't receive premium hands the blinds will kill them.
