Re: Am I being too tight near the bubble?
Steeser's reply was right on the money, so I will try to take a different angle rather than regurgitate what he wrote.
Your mindset for playing MTTs is way off. Example 1:

I think I should have pushed, but I was two out of the money, didn't feel like playing for 3+ hours for nothing, and folded.

Whether you had been playing for 3 hours or 3 minutes should not have any influence on the decision in front of you. The time spent is a sunk cost. You should be making decisions based on $EV.
Example 2:

[/ QUOTE ]
You most certainly were. Dwelling on bad beats is not productive, but allowing them to influence you in to making clearly incorrect decisions is much worse.
You might have had some short-term success, but don't expect to be a long-term winning player unless you can fix these fundamental problems.
