Playing Texas Hold'em tournaments close to the bubble 6.

Watch the Other Players

Small Stacks:
These players are usually waiting for premium hands to go all-in. Take the opportunity to pressure them, but be careful if they respond with a re-raise or all-in.

Medium Stacks:
These are the most vulnerable to pressure from the bubble. They don't want to compromise their chips unnecessarily, as they know they're close to the prize pool.

Big Stacks:
These players may be exploiting others and playing aggressively. Avoid direct confrontations unless you have a very strong hand.

Some players tighten up close to the bubble. Others just play to win. GTO players all tighten up.

I read what you wrote and that's it. Good observation.

If the prize is small I don't care, I play normally, I don't mind going out in a bubble.

all players play just good hands in the buble

Poker taught me what is better than ITM and then poker game. If I am not the last and I feel comfortable playing after the money, then there will be a fold even with the top pair against the chip leader. Money is the main thing in poker.

That's very true, although sometimes there are some medium stacks who think they are and play like a big stack, you will rarely find a small stack taking risks without a premium hand.
