I have one tactic at the final table, it is to do everything to take first place and win the main prize, the rest of the places do not interest me

 

[Canwai]

I think that at final tables you need 100% attention to the game

In the tournament finals, you have to be very careful on what hands you play because the ante's getting high and people start calling ridiculous amounts so you really gotta know what you have is good or try to bluff everyone.

aggression and pressure on small stacks
and of course the luck factor

 

[Tolyanchemp]

there are two rules for winning the final table, the first and second😉

 

[makisaa]

Playing more aggressive, have the right timing and be focused!

foot on the gas and place top 3

Depending on your current stack size, I would generally play passively until a few players have been knocked off, then when there are about 2/3 of players left I would change gears and play more agressively.

 

[Boreyko506]

you need to play more aggressively and put pressure on the short stacks

Here's a fun video I did with BenCB on final tables

I've also got a section on this in my MTT video guide http://gripsed.com/mtt

Ryan Laplante also has a lot of great stuff for MTT training.

Main thing is pay attention to your stack size, the stack size of everyone else, this will help you determine who to go after and who to stay away from

And if you make it that far, know that you're already a major winner for just that!

I think there is no definite strategy for the game on the final table. Much depends on the size of the stack, on opponents, on the structure of the blinds, etc. Each final table is unique.

 

[nyeesssss]

If possible aply maximum icm pressure !

 

[freestocks]

If you make it to the final table, you know how to play. Just open up your game and get lucky.

Personally I try to play carefully and be very aggressive against the low chips but also with a very open hand range since most only expect a pair of pockets or premium cards

 

[Alekxandrovi3]

I try to play very carefully. At the final table payout is constantly changing. I watch the entire table stack sizes. I usually try to play medium-strength hands limp only after the table chip leader already in the drawing. It helps to understand the hands of the players that make the raise and a time to fold. If other players enter the pot then limping can see the flop. If the chip leader comes into the draw limp while often his arms would be weaker than my hands.

 

[tauri103]

I remain focused on the games of my opponents. if I have a good stack. I try to steal some blind while waiting for the short stack to be forced to play and bust. otherwise with less than 10BB it's all-in with a good preflop hand.

[Tolyanchemp]

Strategy without tactics is a long way to victory, but tactics without strategy are vanity before defeat. 90% of players make a mistake when they try to win one particular hand, instead of trying to win the tournament.

 

[kubistok]

My biggest mistakes were to change my style of play on the final tables too much, so I try to play my game all the time.

 

[thehangdude]

The two most important factors at the final table are chip sizes and position. If you raise UTG, you better be ready to reraise a 3bet. If the chip leader is 1-2 spots to your left, it is much harder to steal blinds, but you have to do it anyway.

Most hands on the final table never see a showdown, so you have to be selectively aggressive. Factor in your position and chip size even more than earlier in the tournament.

I think it's good to be well focused and above all, not to be afraid to play, always exploring the best opportunities
