Hurrray, no more slow play from half of players, hoping that the other table will bust out first.
At final table you are all in sync, so you can play as needed and only slow play for psycho strategy (which will not work anyway).

Obviously we all want to win but i am also mindful of the pay jumps dependent on the type of tourney we are playing, how i can apply maximum pressure to the short stacks and pick my spots to pressure big stacks to a decision when i am holding a good hand - pre flop play is so important, knowing your moves before you bet and also knowing when is a good fold.

First of All I am happy to have reached a final table. It does Not happen too often, so I take a second to appreciate it. But then I am focused again. The way I play depends on my stack. I still try to make good decisions and to be as successful as possible.

By simply calculating the math of a push / fold game for different stack sizes, you will already be ahead of most opponents in terms of playing level. And if you can predict the behavior of other players, understand how stack sizes affect their decisions, and make moves at the right time, then your late MTT play becomes very dangerous!

I am quite relaxed.
First order of business is to cash. Second order of business is to make the final table.
That said, to get this far has already involved coin flips so I don't kid myself that I am playing above the rim. To ladder up means more coin flips and (hopefully) other players knocking each other out. We all enjoy a top three finish let alone a win, but I do not want to lose sight of the fact that every final table should be enjoyed for what it is.

When I reach final table I check to see if theres significant pay jumps that I can reach based on blinds then make a decision mathematically if I should play for those jumps or go for 1st and then that will decide how aggressive I play in the final table

I am grateful for the opportunity. There is no set way to play. You have to saddle up and be able to react to the situation at hand. During WWII Ike said " In preparing for battle I have always found that plans are useless, but planning is indispensable."
