to expound on what Bond has said...when you get down to thirty or so it is much better to raise than to call...what I mean is play very solid and dont bleed chips calling and folding...remember that you are playing for top 10 not to win...if you get short dont get so short where you cant shove and still have some FE...if you get to 8-10 bb's and it folds to you in late position dont hesitate to shove...the blinds and antes are huge at this point and no one will call unless they have a huge hand...then just run good and suck out.

I won a seat to the WSOP (2 actually) when with 40 left (16 get in) I shove in late position with A6 with 14bb and a stack the same as mine calls with AQ...i turn the straight...coast in...play at the end will be brutally slow...

hope this helps at least a little....
