At final tables, you tend to attack during play or wait for other players to confront each other first and try to guarantee a better prize.?
Anyway do you act soon or wait for some tuna boats to be eliminated first and then act?
Anyway at the final table do you play?

It all depends on the stack size you have at the final table and the prize pool for the tourney, if its leveled i tend to play a little more loose than i would with higher blinds, but i never fold premium hands because when the heads up happens and the opponent built a considerable advantage over you its hard not to be eaten by him.

depends on how deep you are, as a chip leader you can play it, as a small stack better wait for strong cards cause of payjumps

Its all about stack sizes and positions. As a big stack you can open up your game a bit and put pressure on shorter stacks. As a middling stack you need to tighten up a bit especially with big stacks on your left. As a short stack you play relatively normal and often look for spots to jam or rejam.

Hi.
I always try to be patient and usually wait for the opportunity to set a trap for my opponents. I like this strategy the most.
Good luck.

It depends on the stack and position, and I also try to watch the rest of the people play if I have no information about them so far. And so step by step to the victory: D

I usually play the same. If you are at a full table it is usually better to play tighter and position.

As 1 or 2 get the ax, the blinds are going to move faster which requires you to open your range accordingly.

The fewer players, the wider the range.

I play very conservatively at the final table. I wait for strong hold cards and play conservatively until I have the nuts of course . . .

A lot of it is going to depend on chip stack and the play style of the table. I'm going to be much more selective against players who like to call a lot than with players who fold a lot. Same as any table.

In the first hands I quickly observe how it develops, but in general I like to play final table attacking, since I find many speculating for a more prize

Much depends on what kind of stack you play with ... But I prefer to push.

You have to play in the best way, attack when you see the opportunity, play without fear, with a cold head.

Completely agree with this. In many ways the final table is where, the real game begins, and its essentially like a battlefield. And before starting an offensive any decent general will of course try to form himself a picture of the enemy. Where are the big stacks located, are there any maniacs, fish or nits and so on and so forth. I am not going to open fold AK in the first hand of the final table, but its certainly fine to stay aways from marginal spots and let someone else collide first.

For me as a HUD-user it also has value to just let the HUD pop up for those players, that came from the other table. Even if it shows, I have not previously played with them before, thats already some kind of information, because then its less likely, they are a solid regular and more likely, they are some kind of casual player.

Usually at the final table the stack depths are not deep enough to support open limping. For example say you have 14BBs and the rest of the table has similar size stacks, if you limp and someone raises what do you do? if you fold you wasted some very valuable chips, and if you call you just wasted folded equity, have no initiative in the hand, and you are probably playing out of position. Usually with final table stack sizes you want to be min raising(or raising barely above min) or be shoving.

At the end the tournament, I'am usually over more 80bb. So I use more connectors and increase of the numbers of bluff. I use blockers, and the level of the bets of depends on the size of the pot.

This is independ of who is the playing, or how many or playing.I use the cards in this situations. However I depend on the flop to decide if i should to continue in the hand.
