Stay focused
Allot of players tend to loosen up when they have the chip lead late in the game, personally I try to see as many flops as possible for the lowest amount of chips, like all poker its a numbers game. Watch out for short stack all ins, and try to wait out premium hands, patience with a little aggressiveness at the right times will get you to the final table. Chip lead gives you allot more advantages to either play your stack or your cards depending on position. Mix up your play so the other players cannot put you on your hand.
