Apply pressure to win top 3, thats what MTT is all about imo.
Just finished this unfortunate run.
ITM Bubble and FT bubble is printing money, of course be aware of ICM and Risk Premium. But I rather be a big stack bully then bleed and wait. For me on long term this is the way to go and ship tournaments.

I think it's important to pay attention to who is trying hardest to reach the money. With a big stack, I like putting pressure on medium stacks because they have more to lose than short stacks. But I still choose my spots carefully, because doubling up a short stack can change the whole situation at the table.sundeck12 said:
Near the money bubble, I use a big stack to pressure opponents who are trying to secure a cash.
With a medium stack, I avoid unnecessary risks, while with a short stack, I look for good shove opportunities before the blinds eat away my chips.
The key is adjusting to stack sizes and ICM pressure rather than playing too tight just to reach the money.

When it comes to the bubble, it's usually about circumstances that dictate what I do. But that said, I also have to admit I bubble quite a bit, more than most people do. I've bubbled the wsop circuit event twice, and many online tournaments as well. But the difference for me is I don't care if I cash as much, as I play for the glory and for the win. If you're just playing for the cash, I've seen some bubbles last forever. This year when I was in Las Vegas, the bubble I was on lasted almost two full levels. Stone cold bubble. And I watched people who had okay stacks suddenly down to like one chip, praying when they're all in. You don't want to be that. You want to be the guy, like the one that was to my right, who had about two and a half million chips, which was about half the chips in play. I can't say what I would tell someone else to do, because I can't know exactly what the cash means to you. But for me overall, I don't care if I bubble or not. I want the win.
