We are exactly on the bubble, 31 people left, only 30 people get paid. I could care less about any of the pay outs except the top 3 since the buyin for the tournament is not much. The table had been playing very tight and my reasoning was that I liked my fold equity but I also had the best drawing hand even if I did run into AA.

Also, i'd like to mention that I could care less about going bust, i'm actually going somewhere soon as the tourney ends but it's no rush since the party isnt going anywhere.

How bad can it be? You pick up the blinds a lot, particularly on the bubble.
