Its tempting to play weak when the bubble approaches in an online poker tournament.  You have played for a while and made it so far, just a bit of a stretch to go until you make back a bit of money.

I think the best question to ask yourself at this point is: Did you play this tournament to win your buy-in back, or to take down first? 

We all know the answer to this question, so my question to you is – why bother playing weak to wait and make back your buy-in?  The biggest mistake made by less experienced poker players, is to become reserved during the bubble period.  This is a point in the tournament where you can take advantage of everyone elses weakness to pick up blinds and build your stack to be in better position once the bubble breaks!

Our best online poker secret for tournaments is most definitely:  PLAY THE BUBBLE, DONT LET THE BUBBLE PLAY YOU!
