Last stages of tournament play
ok, I'd love to start a dsicussion about the later stages of tournament play because that's what I'm struggling with the most atm
when we're getting near the end and I have a decent stack (average or better) I get aggressive with it bc I have my eyes on the main prize, stealing and restealing, however I always get burnt so I'm thinking maybe I need to sit back more and just grind it out, playing more of the nitty TAG style I play early on basically, what I'm looking for is how you guys adjust your play when you get to the last 2/3/4 tables with a decent stack (playing the short stack is pretty straightforward) |

I have trouble toward the end too. I probably don't steal enough and resteal rarely because restealing requires a big stack unless you're going to gamble allin.
It sounds like you might be too agressive if you are always getting burnt. |

Re: Last stages of tournament play
yeah, I'm very aggressive bc I feel it's worth it to aim for 1st
as a result I make almost no FT's, but when I do it's with a big stack which always gets me far, which is good bc the prize distribution is always steep finished 1st in a 30 rebuy tourney tonight, playing my aggressive style, but I'm still not sure if it's optimal I have a high % ITM finishes playing TAG but a very low % FT's when I start getting aggressive, but when I do make a FT I often finish high I'm just curious if any succesful MTT players have an opinion on the matter |

Re: Last stages of tournament play
When you are a big stack, you can often re-steal successfully against the loose big stacks that are always stealing. They will rarely ever call you b/c they will be scared. This works best if the re-steal is an all-in push by you.
