I'm the Bubble Boy

I played another tournament today. Once again, I got to the bubble with a short stack. I was in the big blind with pocket 8s. One player raised, as he’d been doing on every hand for the last hour. Everyone else folded. I shoved. He hesitated, then shrugged, and called with J6. I was a 2-to-1 favorite. But a J came on the flop to bust me out on the bubble. Again. This is the fourth time in 4 weeks. It’s getting very frustrating. In fact, the player who busted me out had earlier told me that he was at my table last week when I busted out on the bubble as a 3-to-1 favorite. I guess I now have a reputation as the Bubble Boy. Sigh…
