Sometimes worth it to risk stealing the blinds sometimes is better to wait for cash; can't make a rule by choosing always one of its.What do you prefer? Take a risk stealing blinds or wait for cash??
Yep. You play to at least make a final table, not to min cash. Either move down in stakes or don't play poker at all if that's the kind of mindset you have. That's just me though.
In tournaments the Goal is to win but your first objective is to cash. The closer to the bubble the more icm becomes a factor in your play. If you have 10-15 bigs and you can see 3 people under 10 bigs why would you risk busting before they do?Agreed. I have to play to win. Cashing is great but is a byproduct of going for the win. Bubble no cashes are part of this game.

Recently, I have been waiting to cash. When I am on top and on a roll, steal away.
