What is your biggest difficulty with the ITM?

[Leandro Moecke]

When you are close to the prize, what is your biggest difficulty, do you change your style of play?

for me it's easy to get in to the money ,cause I play tight early, the 'problem' is that I start ITM with under 15 BBs, and because the main goal is to play the final table, I personally think that I should adjust my game, still playing tight early game , but start stealing more blinds middle game, if I play top 15% hands early , maybe play top 20-25% hands in the middle game, and on the bubble playing tight again, maybe put pressure on the short stacks from position.

My biggest difficulty is controlling my anxiety!!!

ICM preflop ranges are pain. ICM postflop is a fever dream.

I don't have the balls to GTO bluff donk huge 50% of the time against a midstack I cover on the bubble, so I resort to playing ChipEV but nittier, which is quite suboptimal.
