What is the bubble?

This is the point in a tournament where the next player out does not take any winnings. 7️⃣ The remaining players will take something away from the table.

Example: The tournament you are in states that the top 25 7️⃣ players will win money and there are 26 players left. These 26 players are “on the bubble”. The one player 7️⃣ that is knocked out and gets no reward is said to have been knocked out “on the bubble”.

Playing the bubble 7️⃣ – Different strokes for different folks!

Make no mistake when the bubble period is reached in a tournament, things change. It 7️⃣ really is the do-or-die time. It is fairly common to find players changing their style dependent upon the stack in 7️⃣ front of them.
