Bubble: The point in any tournament when there is one player more than there are paid finishing positions
[/ QUOTE ]
This is strictly personal preference, but, I'd rather something like, "The point in a tourney where most players start playing extremely [weak] tight because it's close to ITM and if the blinds are large the ability to steal becomes critical".
This is a little more significant in MTT's where bubble play often starts well before ITM+1 but it also comes up quite a bit in SNGs where a 10 player SNG suddenly starts playing like a bubble with 5 players left, particularly when the 5th stack is tiny.
