Well...I guess it's just a matter of opinion of how you'd rather bust out.

I busted out of too many tournaments early in my career - tournaments I was in position to finish well in - by bluffing at pots I had no business being in, so it holds a particularly sour spot in my heart. I learned my lesson - my MTT game has improved dramatically since I got away from these indiscretions.

I am not saying there is not a time and a place for bluffing, because believe me, I certainly do my share - it is the situations like this where you had no business being there to begin with that I am referring to.

Yeah, I've been there too. I think for beginers the best line may be to almost never bluff. Not counting your usual continuation bets or probing bets. But once you have advanced your game, you need to trust your reads and put the chips in.

Like I said if you find you're going out in most tourney's on a bluff... you need to take a step back.
