10-15 bb late tourney play

I played tourneys where i cashed and at the start of the tourney i run good
like i get big pairs and ak a bunch, and just before i cash i get a cooler loose 1/2 - 3/4 my stack and cash but then i never get a hand really card dead.With 10-15bb i want to shove but dont get a good spot or someone opens ever time and i have to fold from middle pos with ajo,ato,55-77.

How can i win a tourney like that???I cant open and fold with 10-15bb.
What should i do in those sit.??
It happens almost every tournament i play im out early or this happens.
What hand should i gamble with if i re-shove light if that's a option 10-15bb
and i dont get chance to open shove??

I used to do this. Your playing too loose in the middle stages. Always keep an eye on the blind levels and ramp up aggression in when nearing the push/fold stages.

If you're playing very tight, use your table image in position to pick up blinds.

Don't be afraid to take risks.

If you wan't to make the money do so with a healthy stack and try and go for the top prizes and not just a mediocre cash. The real money is in the top 5 places.

10-15 BB is a very awkward stack size, specifically when approaching a bubble of any sort. Technically, speaking you do have room to open raise as long as there are no limpers in the pot, but this can be a very bad idea close to ITM.

In a nut shell, shove or fold are your only two options.

You must be willing to shove a much wider range than you would normally, particularly from later positions. Be careful of the dealer button, as it will be more likely your opponents will put you on a steal; in the end, and though it may seem insane, shove that 9 3 off suit – you may pick up the blinds. If not, you’re probably live.

You have to remember that 80% of the time you will not make ITM – what difference does it make if you lose with 93 or AA? To have any chance at first place, this is clear cut age-old strategy and shoving ATC actually becomes kind of fun (in a sick, gambling addict, sort of way).

If at start you have good hands, you must maximize its value by collecting the maximum chips. With that, you will not have problems at the end with your so called "10-15bb".

Maybe you should reconsider this. Hand like these may not be auto-shoves, but they're also not auto-folds. It depends on the situation. For example, you can shove more vs someone who's opening a lot of hands than vs, a nit.

Also, if you believe the opener has a tight image of you, you can shove wider than he thinks you will because he'll fold more often than he should against your actual shove range.
