Yeah i hate going out early too, played some tournaments the other night and was kinda tilted on one table as being busted against a weak hand when i was ahead two streets and the tilt got onto me, and i transferred it back to another table which i busted early because i was tilted , shoving crap against a good hand and lost my buy in. Now i am recuperating and not much poker today as it is an holiday today and using that time to study and rest rather than tilt and get a bad mood due to poker. Anyway good luck guys and have fun at the main event and poker tables!

Well, when you reach the bubble, check the players around you. If the are not from BRM just fold and wait for the bubble to burst They dont care either way for the leaderborad points so they have one more motive.

I agree om the fact what icequeen said, On the bubble it is imporrant to raise alot and dont play tight. Alot of people Somehow prefer folding to a min cash instead of going for the win

hi, most professional players and poker books tell you that the bubble must recognize the weak and be aggressive, but with all due respect, it is sometimes better to let your hands and then being in the ITM play normally. I think we all agree that the worst place to be eliminated from a tournament, is the bubble, but this is worse when your bank suffered a loss because there is greater pressure for a profit. With all due respect to the opinions of all and accepting that this is how the professionals suggest you should play on the bubble but that's my point of view in these cases.
