heres a tourney i just played, closer to the final table bubble than the actual bubble (we are already ITM)
im sitting in top ten so i figured i should try to scoop some of these 5 dollar bounties on the low stacks and be aggressive, so i flipped more than i should have.. and even when dominating someone, shit still happens.. if i didnt play at all i would have made the final table by sitting out... instead i played aggressive and attacked the bounties... and, well.. a few bad flips and a row and you're on your way out.... why do that near a bubble? (or even here, before a final table bubble when the money actually starts getting good.. nothing like playing for hours only to make ten or twenty bucks... or worse lol. gotta love micro stakes)

and here i am telling you about it rather than sitting at the final table... so the question is... should have i just walked away with 100bb with 50ish people left and waited until the FT? or donk out somewhere in the mid 30s for ten bucks instead of 150? all for a few f**king bounties lol
im starting to think my strategy over, and next time i'm just gonna go warm up some popcorn and get ready for the final table.... thoughts?
