I know there are some really great players here.

 Just wanted to know if you had any advice for when you make the last table.

 Do you tighten up, loosen up ?

 I have been very careful to pick my spots, but getting very unlucky, I'm not going to go into the bad beat i just took.

Just wondered if there is a tatic for the last table

If the table is tight play fast and loose, if its a loose table tighten up.

As for bad beats etc, no such thing on a final table, its all about chips and position, cards really dont mean much as it usually comes down to which side the coin lands.

Yeah it just seems to me that every hand you play puts your stack on the line when the blinds are 3000/6000
and your sitting with 30k.

As for there not being bad beats lol . 2 off the blinds i push all in with A T suited called by the BB with T 3 and spikes the 3 on the turn to send me to the rail. Maybe not a bad beat but Sick anyway you look at it

My point is on a final table you are going to get odd card pairsing for showdowns, like T3 all in pre flop.

My suggestion is that you get more chips so you can sustain these hands. Having 5bb's is not the situation you want to be in, if you had 90k there u would have been fine.

I've only really played mtts for about 4 months of the year so it's not to bad a record. But i am sick of coming 2nd and 3rd as the wins were all early in the year, have been putting in some intensive heads up practice and now i can't make a final table for the life of me!!!

I think it's like anything, If you go off and play cash tables you lose something in your tourney game,or the other way round, Like golf it's hard to get the whole game together at once. I feel like my poker game has come on leaps and bounds, and im scared of no one. But when i get to the final table i can't Putt

Pure unadulterated aggression i find is the key. The people who were playing tight as f to get to the final table will usually stick with that strategy trying to make the last 5. In my last ft appearence i stole the blinds from the same 2 players 11 hands in a row and with the blinds being what they are it was enough to see me to the last 3 players. And gamble with the shortstacks who go all in in late position on my blinds with almost any semblence of a hand.
