The bubble is where normal poker decisions can become corrupted, e.g., it would be correct to fold AA preflop if a big stack were put all-in even by a horrible player like Bigyo69.
I disagree with this.
The only way that would be correct is if your only goal is getting in the money. If that is what your implying, i agree. On the other hand however, if you are in a tournament for the win (which i assume is the reason most of us enter tournaments) then folding the best possible hand pre flop with the chance to double or maybe triple up (only because your afraid of getting sucked out on) is ridiculous. Folding the best hand pre flop, without seeing a board, is not a good play in my opinion. There is absolutely no way that at that point you are behind, and in fact 99 percent of the time you have the guy dominated, the other 1 percent your tied. If your not playing the best hands when you know you have people dominated, what are you to be playing on the bubble, or are you suggesting nothing?
Just my opinion but again, if your only objective is to make the $, I agree this play is correct.

You realize that this was in a qualifier, ie 1st to 5th get a seat, there were 6 players left. Totally different than trying to make the money....
