Avoid unnecessary risks and try to play post-flop whenever possible. In the bubble your only goal has to be to reach ITM, no matter how, then the chips matter.
If it's a microliter tournament, of course not,there you play against many recreationals that make a lot of mistakes with which you could fill with chips, but if it's an important tournament where you play with good players really, I assure you it is the correct wayThis statement is simply not true. (It might be true for YOU) however, it is not the optimal way to play to win the tournament.

The (stakes) shouldn't matter. If you play a tournament, you should play to win. The money in tournaments is top heavy. If you spend hours and hours playing to min cash you have wasted your time. The ONLY time a min cash would be the desired result is if it makes a significant impact on your life. However, if this is the case then there is a whole host of other problems in your financial management in poker.
Nor do you say what is the correct way to play it, you simply say that you have to play it to win, where is the bad thing about trying to survive in the bubble anyway? Since you do not agree. Once in ITM is where you should worry about winning chips
but then you should have a big stackIt's more important for me to get into the money, so I will sit quietly and wait.
if i have very low chip count and there is a chance to make the money and its close to the bubble i then may play very conservative just to make the money. however if you always play just to make the money you will never make a profit. i always am playing for the 1st place. when sitting at a table and someone makes a stupid play and says well its only a $75 tourney I look at 1st place money and say no its a $2500 tourney.This statement is simply not true. (It might be true for YOU) however, it is not the optimal way to play to win the tournament.
