I can usually get down to the last 5% of entries in the free rolls but always seem to have a much shorter stack than my opponents when I get there.

Any tips?

open up your 3 betting range when in position after the bubble.. and make sure to be first in the pot when in late position for steal purposes.

couple little things but they help

Do you think this can work in long time with the micro limits mtt? Like $0,55 and $1,10? And with K.O/Bountys?

U have to gamble alittle and get involved in some cheap pots, can't only play the big hands or your not gonna get any action when u really have it.

Get more agressive in position, use more 3bet lights against people with 15~30bb.

Do not be aggresive with higher stacks neither shorter. They don't have nothing to lose. U can put pressure over mid stacks and defend ur blinds waiting a nut hand.

BE fairly quiet (tight) at the beginning of the tournament and select hands and always play at maximum position against 2 players.

Use your position and widen your range a bit.

too broad of a question, however, it may be because you're playing tight even when the blinds are bigger. You need to adjust the way you play late in the tournament because blinds start to really hurt you.

Im pretty aggressive so whén everyone tightens up i naturally place on the bubble or end up on the final table. not a bad mentality really

Expects to have a good pair of cards in the bubble and go allin in a position
never against having higher stack and not in position.
At that stage you have to be aggressive, do it against a stack as yours or lower, fear being left out of the tournament.

you have to stealblinds. you have to always have fold equity to steal blinds also even if you have to make your move earlier if your fold equity is going to be/look a lot lower because of antes and blinds coming around. everyone will call you (big stacks call with a crazy range so best to stay out of low stack at all possible cost or you will get calling stationed)

I'm not sure my advice will work for micro stakes, but current general poker theory is that you should abuse the blinds on the bubble if possible and then tighten up after the bubble bursts. Agree that in the beginning/middle of the tournament you are trying to collect chips and build a stack. You will have to take some flips (Especially in micro stakes).

I feel that the key is to adapt and not be scared. Lot of people seem to tighten up too much when they are close and miss opportunities to pressure low stacks

Only use your image table along the tournament. This image I suppose you have create during the tournament. So, if you are too tight, now you can be more agressive getting the binds with more intensity
