Late Game Tournament Strategy

[Daq32]

OK. So you've made the money, have a good chip count, and you are now trying to make it to the final table. How do you you shift your gameplay to do so?

I typically will only make a move on players with a significantly lower chip stack than myself, so Im not risking my tournament on a single hand. I find myself in situations frequently where I have something like JJ and I get a raise that will push me all in from a equal or bigger chip stack. Im always a bit conflicted as to what to do, when I usually put them on something like AK, AQ, etc... Should I risk my stack in this situation, if I know I have only a slight advantage going into it, or fold, living to see other hands while moving up through the money, possibly missing a huge opportunity?

Thanks for the insight. I only play in cheap sit and gos but i will remember this next time.

Happy to help. I have a lot of experience playing online poker so if you have any questions, feel free to ask.

Im trying to gain some insight on what other people do too though. Post your late game strategy here.

I let it go earlier in my playing i would have called but risk vs reward is not high enough cuz if you do scrape by say a 53 to 48 edge your inclined to do it again plus at that point best you are is a small fav you could be staring at AA KK QQ ive learnt the patience to bide my time and move up the ladder
