We should strive not to fall into the prizes. should strive to get to the final table,You need to ramp up a good stack, so you need to push the average hand with less than 10 big blinds, as many players will raise a lot of hands to steal the blinds.

I do have this problem, most of the times when I am big blind, in a MMT tournament, next to the prize pool and don't have much chips. Some players play agressive and really get some money from me. Some times I go all in against them and they just fold. But keep doing that on next BB. Thanks you guys.
i usually re-raise agressive players with good hands, and call them with middle hands.In most of cases, if you are certain they are trying to steal but you do not have a good hand or middle hand, you should fold.Calling is not an option and they will surely bluff you post flop.

Just play really tight untill you feel your in the perfect spot, play it easy, don't scare him off & let him bury himself.

You need to consider that you said sometimes I shove and they fold. You found a move that works to beat the aggressive players attack of your blind. Open the range of hands you use to make this move. If you currently do this with 10's+ ajs+ aqo+...add all pairs axs+ and a10o+. You will have times the aggressive player wakes up with a real hand but generally you will pick up the pot preflop as long as you have enough fold equity with your shove

You can also consider defending your blind to raises and moving in on flops that hit your range better. This can be good and bad tho because you allow the agg player to see 3 cards that may sway them to call your shove.
