Do you ever feel like you play too cautiously near the final table?

When a tournament gets close to the final table, I sometimes notice myself tightening up more than usual because I don’t want to bust right before reaching it.

At the same time, I know that can be the best moment to pressure other players who are thinking the same way.

Do you become more careful near the final table, or do you try to stay aggressive?

I played scared money close to the FT , generally I want to go itm and to the FT , secure my entry , not take unnecessary risks ,but I feel I am too passive , on the other hand I have fallen victim many times to bad beats or hands , so maybe I am somehow justified up to a point . But if I have good odds , why not , j call , maybe I double my stack and kick one player put , but generally I play with no big risk
