Bubble spot question
Came pretty close to cashing in my first live MTT last night and busted out right on the bubble. Not gonna lie, I was tight most of the last orbit since nobody wanted to risk it with one person left till the money. Ended up getting it in with AQ suited vs JJ and didn’t spike. Now I’m wondering, is it always the right call to play super tight once you’re near the bubble or are there good spots to open up a bit if the table’s freezing up? Saw a couple guys raking in small pots just stealing blinds, but I kept folding since I didn’t want to blow it.
How do you guys handle bubble play? Do you take more risks or just try and outlast the others?
