You want to open up your range a bit once antis kick in. Most tournament players won’t be adjusting to antis and that gives you a great opportunity to chip up.
As for bubble play, that is stack dependent. Short stacks are basically solved with push/fold charts. Mid stacks want to avoid big stacks but still try to punish smaller stacks when you get the chance. Big stacks can play wide due to most players playing too tight on the bubble.
Final table bubbles are an interesting spot. In the grand scheme of things, it won’t matter to your ROI much if you bubble a final table, but a lot of players are still scared of busting so close to a FT. This presents an interesting opportunity to chip up a bit before a FT.
Hi, in early pahse u play more tight than in the other phases of the game but u have to be creative too in most of the time.
Your range should change dramatically throughout the tourney, this should be based on stack depth, icm, and the villans at your table.
For example you are in a standard format tourney with 1500 starting chips and the blinds are 10 -20. It is the first hand your probably want to limp your small pairs in mid position with a limper in front of you. If the blinds go 50-100 and you have 1500 with the same limper in front you cant limp your small pair because you dont have the odds with only 15blinds effective.
