Greetings!
When we are close to the prizes, we always think that someone will fly out, but definitely not us.

Have you ever left a tournament on a bubble? And how annoying was that?

Yes. what frustrates me in a situation like this is dropping out of the tournament without making the best decision.

Of course it is.. Especially infuriating If you're the bubble boy for a live event package ...happened to me some years ago 🙄

If you played well and flew out, then why be upset, but it's unpleasant when you fly out for some stupidity.

I have left the tournament on the bubble many times, it always infuriated me, but a glass of good whiskey always helped me.:)

Leaving on a bubble is much more annoying than leaving the tourney in 2nd place. Spent hours in a tourney and leaving without anything to show for it.

Hello
yes, flying out of the bubble is annoying! a few minutes ago I had AA and got a call from Q4s and lost :( sometimes that just happens when you don't want to fold :)

so that such situations do not happen to you, you go far ahead so that later it does not bother you in the future, but if you find yourself in this situation and fly out, it's a shame I think almost every poker player has faced this and it's a shame

it's not sad, it's insulting. Especially when your hand is better than your opponent's and he knocks you out one step away from the prizes.

Yes it's very frustrating because by that stage you would have been playing for a long time... Depending on your stack, it's mostly better to make sure your ITM. Not a bad thing to fold a big hand when your only few places away

Annoying, it's that guy who has 2bb on the bubble, everyone is waiting for him to fall to get in the money, and the guy comes out with AA and doubles up, that's annoying.😁🤣

Personally I don't find it sad to leave on the bubble. It's just another result in a long line of poker tournaments and I try not to get too emotionally attached to any single one. Of course, it's always nice to make the money, but I don't let it affect my overall enjoyment of the game :cool::cautious::ROFLMAO:

Leaving a tournament on the bubble, if there's money involved, would've been better to go out nearer the beginning than right near the end. No prizes for 'almost' .......

It used to bother me in my early years, but now knowing playing correctly is the proper way, I’m happy bubbling 100 games if I get one really deep run in as well

I normally get kicked out of a mtt when I arrive in the bubble short stacked...

But it doesn't matter anyway... in the long term we get punished and with no profit if we act like a warm person...

The Bibble says that we have to be hot or cold... but never warm...

how, when you play kilofields, you can really get into tilt, it doesn’t even reassure that you played and did everything right, but amuse yourself that the distance will return and watch the stream and the pros fly on the bubble
