Please help me out.
If your placement distribution is made up of mostly bubble/2nd place finishes, then it usually means you're playing too tight during the middle/late stages and not making proper shoves. This will result in entering the bubble stage with a small stack which means little fold equity. Having little fold equity, pot odds, and the equity they gain from knocking you, a short stack, out is why you're getting called lightly. Even though it may seem like a bad call when villain calls with worse, it may actually be massive +EV for them.
