Well, in the internet you can find a lot of pages and blogs that talk about how to play in bubble. And what is the bubble? Is the point on a tournament where the next player eliminated will leave with empty hands and all others players will cash in some money.
Well, I play the bubble very aggressive (all in almost all hands) at this stage of the tournament, no matter if I have a few chips (10BB) or a lot (chipleader).
Because if I have a few chips the blinds will eat me and I will be the Bubble Boy without seeing any action. Otherwise, to have a lot of chips give me a greater presence on the table and many will fold with hands that may be they were played in another situation by their fear of leaving empty-handed.
This way you steal the blinds, which for the time of the bubble are high.

I think you are a great addition to our poker community and we hope to hear more from you soon. I really like this post about Bubble Boy, I like how you plan to execute your strategy and the reasoning behind it. I have noticed that once you have passed the bubble stage it is time to start guarding your chips more, avoid stupid bets, and unnecessary bluffs. The aim after bubble boy is to make it as far as possible. Sometimes during the later stages of the tourney I avoid large stacks.
