I've noticed this much more on merge then on FTP or PS by far, it seems like when the money bubble is closing up everyone gets super super tight. Like it will pay to 18,36 or even 45 and yet still people with 1-4k chips with 1/2k blinds will sit and fold every hand to make the money. When your sitting with a 13-16k stack usually right in the middle of the pack how tight you guys tend to play. What type of hands are you getting it in with and folding? Just seems weird to ask this question but mainly I found myself bubbling just a ton of ft's and a ton of money min cashes like 2-3 before the money because people are so redicolous tight on the site.

I fully understand the concept of binking 1st in a mtt is usually worth like 50 min cashes but when your running bad and such do you guys feel the need to get into the money. Maybe my mind is colluded with garbage since I took like 3 months off and came back but I just been finding the level of play on merge much better but at the same time people are so tight.

Also, what types of hands are people playing near the ft. When its down to like 10-15 and stacks are super shallow and everyone has like 10-15 blinds max except 1 person and he has like 30-40.
