Few chips - count and make sure that they are enough for prizes. With a small stack, you already have almost no chance of getting into the Top. Try to just get money.
A lot of chips - attack those who have few, take their chances. It's cruel, but it works. Be careful with those who also have a lot of chips.
Freeroll or MTT - there is no difference.

Yeah, this is what I'm trying to do. I'm so proud of myself because today with a single room, 6 places, sit and go of 5 cents I could win at first place, even after I had been almost vanished of really small stack when remained 2 players. But I played aggressive and at right way and turn around the stacks! Was amazing. Thanks guys! [emoji4]

if you have a lot of chips, you don't need to bully the table. Just let everyone else battle it out while you relax a bit.
Small chips you need to be very careful what cards you play and probably have to go all in somewhere to double up.

It is a really good question. I have been there too. In fact just a few days ago four times in a row i was the bubble guy in a SNG. Trying to play tigth aggressive and sometimes loosing a little because of position. But the four times some villains that had beraly some chips survive with crapy hands more than once, and I in the one hand plying... boom... out. I keep plying my game and won 2 others SNG and 3 other In the money. Is different on a MTT i guess because it takes more time and no one wants to be the bubble guy.
Sorry for my English.

Why not practice being aggressive? Just to understand better your point of view. Thanks!

If you are a big stacker, here's where you exploit the medium stack folks who are in the money and are waiting for the last few to bust.
You can also call the small stacks loosely since they will likely shove a wide range.
If you are a small stacker, you can try to wait out even smaller stackers. If you will bust if nothing changes, then be aggressive. If you MAY be able to squeeze into the money then wait for a decent hand, or just shove against the medium stacks. Do not take unnecessary risks against big stackers.
You are also exploitable if the others know what they are doing. I.e., a bunch of guys can call you with ATC because with more hands in the pot, it is less likely your hand holds up. They just need one hand to be better than yours, and you are out.
As a medium stack holder, you are in a tough spot. You should play tight. Pick your spots and hope you wake up with a big hand and can exploit those looking to exploit you.
