Thanks Jarid for the response.

Now that I think about it. I did not really have a read on him. I was the CL at the table and then he got moved later. My ego got in the way I think. (you know - "I am not gonna let this guy shove me around". Need to work on that!)

What I should have done - folded preflop after his bet. No need to gamble yet - still enough time to pick on the SS's until I get further into the tournament.

Excellent advice! Thanks for the help.

I have been finishing in the money but at the lowest places. I have been thinking I play too tight and need to change my play in order to make it to 1st. This was not the way to do it obv!

But is this the way to play maybe when it is down to the bubble?

Seems to me 1st and 2nd place winners are always LAG players and the rest are TAGs (relatively speaking)
