Having acquired many chips I tend to bow out around 30-45 place in tournies, How do I get over the hump to make final tables?
You're going to need to know how to target specific stacks and specific players as you get deeper.
In the beginning you are playing cards, but in the later stages you are playing stack sizes and players. Once you make this mental shift you'll be in a great place to get the job done!

I find myself altering my strategy when I get close to the bubble. If I'm a chip leader, I'll use my size to bully around or steal pots from smaller stacks. If I'm close to being ITM when on the bubble, I narrow the range of hands I play since there are people behind me who are more desperate to make moves with blinds and antes catching up to them. While I don't always follow these guidelines, I often find myself sticking to them and having a better shot of getting ITM.
