For me, at the beginning of a tournament, I try not to force anything. I play the
hands I’m comfortable with and look for good spots to build my stack. If I get a strong hand, I’m willing to be aggressive, but I don’t feel like I have to win a huge pot right away. At the final table, I think things change a lot. The blinds are usually much bigger, the stacks matter more, and every decision can have a big impact. I try to be more aware of who is playing aggressively and who is trying to survive. Sometimes being patient and waiting for the right spot is more important than constantly trying to build chips. The main thing is to stay calm and not play scared just because you’re at the final table
