Hello, on the final table if you are a chip leader you should put pressure, if there are not enough chips then wait for someone with fewer chips to leave, and basically your game is a push fold, icmpressure [emoji3][emoji3][emoji3]

Tip 1 - Last 3 tables! Knowing your opponents is a definite plus for a finalist. When it comes to the last three tables, try to pay more attention to your opponents, namely: hidden aggression, bluffing and odd bet sizes. Any information that allows you to see through your opponent in the future, to “read” him, will be invaluable!Of course, everyone would like to become the first in an MTT tournament - but for many, the first place in such tournaments will be reaching a new level of prize money. In No Limit Hold'em final table play, it is important to divide all players into those who play to win and those who play to profit. In your poker strategy, once you've identified neat players who prefer not to risk their money, try to play hands with them as often as possible. Conversely, outbid players who aim to win only if you are clearly superior.

The best way to learn final table is to know ICM
And to "practice" ICM you can play one table Sit n Go
Every Sit n Go is a final table.
You can also take a look at SNGWizard or ICMizer
You can also watch this playlist on youtube. The videos are old but the concepts are still accurate

The guy is the one that wrote the first ever SNG strategy book.

Greetings. First you need to learn how to reach these final tables. ))) And then according to the rules of the game at one table and on the bubble. The most annoying thing is that the rates are already with 5 zeros. (((

Basically it's: bigger stack, you can use all those chips to intimidate players with smaller stacks who are just trying to survive. You can also leverage your chip position against good players who are forced to play tighter due to ICM considerations.
As a short stack, you face less pressure from ICM because you have less to lose. You are expected to be busted soon, so you can play quite aggressively to try to build up your stack.

The best practice would be like many have said, play a ton of Heads up and 9 man SNG's. In that order, since so many players don't know how to play heads up when they final get so that stage they resort to a push fold strategy.

The final table is the ultimate test of your tournament skills, as this is where you will have to make some heavy ICM folds that you would never make if the payout structure didn't influence your decisions. But at the same time, you must also remain an aggressive player in order to be able to accumulate chips. If you just wait for premium hands, you may be able to secure a pay jump or two, but you are unlikely to accumulate enough chips in your stack to go heads-up and compete for the winner's trophy. In most tournaments, the best approach is to play tight and use well-timed aggression to win chips from weaker players.What you want to avoid with any tournament table dynamics is playing too passive and too tight.If the competition at the final table is really tough, you need to take more risks so as not to lose your stack. However, at the same time, if you were previously able to call 4-bet shoves with the top 10% starters, due to ICM pressure, the correct play is usually to fold unless you have a monster.

Try reading a few poker books and better watch some youtube videos as well. I recomend the poker after dark series or the HighStakes poker series. And also practice makes perfect. I for one always play agresive in final tables .

Well final tables are different from the rest of the tournament as stacks can swing fast and chip leaders can bust before a short stack.
Usually I stick to range at the beginning waitin for 1 or 2 players to bust push/fold when short then widen my range.
Usually it works for me as i found that each time I 'm on a final table I' m winning 50% of the time 40%in top 4 and 10% bust 5th to 9th

Sit and go is a quasi final table. You can see similar patterns. You have to decide how to get to heads up. You can wait for others to knock themselves out or be more aggressive and try to bully he other opponents.
