I am a pretty good player and I know how to run the table during the tournament but for some reason when I get late in the tournament like the bubble or close to it I get cracked by some retard with a small ace versus my kings or something like that. How do I avoid losing my position and busting on the bubble to really bad players? Should I raise hard pre with pocket pairs and good suited connectors like 78 and above? Should I cbet the flop when I don't hit and when I do? Should I call or reraise pre to 3 4 or 5 bets? What about a loose player that is betting every hand how do you take down THAT player? What about the calling stations that call everything to the river with even a small ace to hit it should I make em shove post?

Those are generally my questions... Someone help me out so I can make it further in tournaments. Busting like this deters me from wanting to continue to play tournies (which I love playing). Thanks for the time you have put into reading my post and have a nice day
