It depends if I played a good hand and how much money I have. If you are running out of money and want to go further in the tourney you may want to take the chance. Your opponent may fold a good hand to not risk it as well. If I am running out of money and get AA, and lose to a J7, I do not feel like a loser. I am just simply angry.

J7 half an hour ago close to KO me 2 place from money. I don't understand why SB called at the moment when it was bubble my raise and he saw that I was playing from the beginning with a strong hand. In doing so only I could jeopardize his 60bb with my 57bb. On the 7AJ flop, I bet 3/4 he raises, I call, turn check / call. and the river gives him a flush. Luckily I was left with 3bb on the last bet so I got into the money.Iknow i made a mistake but it was hard to fold. Good thing he didn't go all in on the river

I don't think you should ever consider yourself a loser when you are busted out of a Tournament, in any place, bubble or not. If you have played your best game and beaten other players getting deep into a game it is something you should always feel pride in.
You might get it all-in with the best hand, and he hits a 4 card Straight or Flush with a rubbish hand, it happens!
Only last night a player with only 2.5 BBs left, shoved with an A/K hand and being on the BB, I called with a 6/7 off as it was only 1.5 extra to call, and having around 24 BBs left it wouldn't do me that much damage if I lost, I hit 2 pair on the flop and took him out.
He lost with the best hand pre-flop, but luck was on my side, and he was unfortunate, but I wouldn't go as far as calling him a loser, far from it, he played well to get as far as he did, but sometimes luck has other players to consider.
Feeling like a loser, at any time, leaves you with self doubt! and if you doubt your playing ability, you should stop immediately if it costs you money, Play responsibly, with money you can afford to lose, and feel comfortable with losing, and you are never going to call yourself a loser! Unlucky Yes! Loser Never!
When the fun Stops, STOP!

Yes indeed. I have worked on ICM aspect of tournaments, and bubble less often than before.
It hurts more, when you have a good hand and run into Aces. especially when someone else is way shorter than us.

Going on the bubble is always very unpleasant, I've been on the bubble of a satellite, where I called and got involved in a hand with AA against A2 by the crazy villain, it was my worst experience being the bubble, it was terrible. But that shouldn't hurt, the bubble is a crucial moment, it's where you'll play to get some change, often just the buy in you've already paid, or play to get the real money, that is, the first three positions. You should always take this time to collect as many chips as possible from players who are just playing for itm, even though you are dealt the worst hands.

No, not really. Was I looking for the smallest prize? definetly not. Someone's gotto be it, and sometimes its going to be you. Just play your A game , and always take the right decision so when you go back to analyse your game , you feel you've made the right call regardless of outcome

I used to fell very bad by lefting a tournament in the bubble.
Nowadays I tend to value my efforts and be glad that I played well enough to ge very close of the money. It sure is frustrating, but once I focus on improving your gameplay, more times I reach the bubble, and more times I get past it, in the way for the 1st place.

I don't think anyone feels comfortable going out on the bubble and sometimes it can get too stressful when you know you made a bad move coming up on the bubble. When these things happen you have to analyze what mistakes were made to correct them and if you were in a good position and they took you out with premium cards then you don't have to stress because you played to win the tournament but luck betrayed you

Hello, it depends on the situation, I got pair AA or Pair of KK in the bubble and I go with everything and they connect me with a trio 777 or any other... I don't think I'm playing badly or I have to let it go because I'm in the bubble... I think that there is a possibility of doubling chips you have to go... if you lose bad luck

I don't feel like a loser when I'm out on the bubble, even if I make a mistake. You learn from mistakes. Poker is a game of numbers with a bit of luck, very often there are bubble coolers, you just need to take such crashes as an experience of playing in different situations.
