The people with the most chips know that the main obstacles to the big stack will be the the fellow chip monsters first at their table and then in the tournament as a whole. often though the big stacks will try and delay confrontation with each other. Instead, they gang up on the smaller stacked players to try and eliminate them and move closer to a guaranteed money finish. The best way to play the small stack often depends on just how small you are. If you are really small and cannot survive more than one more round of blinds then, when you get a passable hand, you have to go all-in, whatever position you're playing, if you find yourself in the BB and the compulsory posting is half your stack, then you are pot committed and have little alternative but to go all-in. You will not survive another round of blinds and even if you do double up, you'll only be in the same position again one round later. It is true that tournaments are about survival, but there's no point being blinded away. Whatever two cards you have are unlikely to be much of an underdog against any other two cards. Under different circumstances you may have mucked the hand you go all-in with but remember that 8-5 is less than a 2/1 underdog against AK
