Just to survive: stalling the game mostly and only shove premium hands with players with big stacks. Smaller stacks usually fold in this situation so with them you can consider playing more loosely.

If I'm the shortest stack on the bubble, my strategy depends on how short I am and how many players still need to bust.

If I have only a few big blinds left, I'm usually looking for a good shove spot rather than folding everything and hoping to sneak into the money. The blinds can eat you alive very quickly.

If there are several stacks shorter than me or close to my stack size, I might tighten up a bit and let the bubble pressure work in my favor.

In general, I don't want to blind down to 1–2 BB just to min-cash. I'd rather look for a profitable spot to double up and give myself a chance to make a deep run.
