I dont really get nervous anymore but when i get a big hand i get a little stressed understanding that i might loose a flip or take a bad beat. But i dont fold because im nervous if anything the bubble is a time to be more aggressive. You must think about results in the long run not just in one particular tournament. If that makes any sense.

I agree with you. It is time to extract value and distance yourself from other players. I take advantage of this stage of the bubble a lot. Usually everyone is scared. However, I don't risk my position at the table. Of course, the size of the tournament will determine my attitude!🙄🙄

If I play my 'A' game, there's no reason to get nervous near the bubble.
 
Sometimes the aggressive play of opponents with a large stаck makes you nervous, especially before the bubble.
 
makes me nervous that I know I will get dealt AK and I will move all in, and then some chipleader will calll me off with J 10o and he will hit it, as usual...
 
I've taken myself out of the prizes and out of the bubble going all-in with JJ.

I suppose the lesson learned is that unless I'm really going after the final table, the the prizes are just seats or tickets, play tight until everyone is playing inside the prize bubble.
 
When you got great hand should shove and got bad beat right in bubble. It is very sad
 
Any big cards near bubble make me sweat because coolers happen all the time.

Losing with AA to a weaker hand and folding with AA even in a bubble, unfortunately the feeling has already happened and the worst

If my mind is set for winning the tournament, it's best to steal the blinds near the bubble than trying to win chips in the money as everyone plays loose in the money stages.

I want to get a good prize. Sometimes I start playing aggressively. Recently, with a great straight in cardchat, freroll flew out against full house on which the opponent got the right card despite the danger, I put Allin and lost. Achieved the result entered the prize and immediately flew out. This is a mental problem, but you can develop and try to avoid such nonsense.
 
And I try not to be nervous, but to wait it out if there is no clear chance of winning.
 
Just gotta realize the icm value and go from there.

Good pocket pair or suited connectors are nerve wracking..

If I survive to the bubble, can I still trust my luck with: pocket pair, suited connector, etc?
In that situation, I am nervous, but
it's a 50-50; a feeling. If I feel certain I'm going to win, I shove. No certain feeling, I try to limp into the bubble.
 
i start to get worried ...

when a couple of the short stacks with fewer chips than me double up !

bubble...min cash..??...nah....depending on stack size, it doesnt start to cut in until the laddering for decent roi starts.
 
The worst frustating thing is when you are playing with a very short stack , cannot get any cards to play with just rags and you are close to the bubble. I am the type who will rather get knock out with like AA or KK with all my stack .
 
Bubble time makes me nervous when I'm playing with a mid stack. I normally tighten my game up and miss a lot of opportunities. On the other hand playing with a big or small stack, I'm definitely not nervous and might be a tad too aggressive. I play the clock too. Fast speed play when up and slow down when mid or low at bubble.
 
To approach bubble time that is not easy , it require many lucky characters , coming with a lot of high cards . as well as you need to ignore several time , morever you also have to get goal somtime such as all in when you have pair or high Ace . The nervous thing when near bubble time is that lacking of chips , when approximatelly out of chips .

Pocket ACES. DON'T FOLDEM !
 
I'd rather go out swinging than blinding out. Play poker and the hands you're dealt to the best of your ability and look at playing to win rather than min cashing. If you're properly bankrolled the fear of busting on the bubble will no longer alter the style of play you're used to. More aggression should be applied on the bubble to weaker players with less chips cause they are at risk of busting. Don't be scared, play how you feel is best then adjust from there. No gamble, no future.
