What better way to behave in a final table?

I when I can arrive at a final table play but calmly always expecting the best possible cards because any mistake you will be out of the tournament

It depends on your stack imo. If you're a cheapleader you need to pressure who has less chips and try to not conflict with other big stacks. If you're short-stacked use push-fold strategy.

Everyone is expecting to have good cards, and not make any errors, but that's nothing to do with your behaviour on a final table. It really depends how much chips you have and your position. After looking at this, you can tell what should be your style of game.

As long as you can identify your ICM spots you should be fine :)

It needs to be relaxed and without bumping. Play harder than usual in my opinion and should not be burdensome. You always have to play that your goal is to jump into the money list, ie. to try as much as you can to get yourself to get more money.

To get to the final table you have to be very patient because it takes a 4-5 hour tournament.

If you have a big stack you can be a little agressive and try to steal some big blinds, If you have a really small stack then the only way is all-in , fold I guess.

Sooner or later it has to happen, work on the game, watch the video and you are sure to succeed, and most importantly do not lose faith in yourself, under any circumstances! Good luck!

Depends on size of stacks and how many villains left, you fewer than 4, cards like A and 3 are going to feed your stack properly.

personally I always prefer to throw my cards and let other players do the work for me. I try to move when he has more than 5 or 4 players on the table more by necessity than by choice.

With the same game that took me to final table, but, taking into consideration the prizes of final table... Yeah, I'm more attentive to the short and big stakes (And the behavior of the players left in the table)

You definitely want to play more aggressive, but not wreck-less. You want to have a table image of someone that won't be pushed around and that if someone wants to take your chips, they either better have the goods or better have the guts. Just make sure you have more guts.

depending on the stack I have decided how to play, but usually I try to play very calm and trying to wait for good plays, if I am a leader I try to press a little to those who are short and also depend on how the other players are playing, they are Several factors that I take into consideration

our first rule of the game at the final table: we play on icm. second: it all depends on our stack, if we are actively playing a chip leader we open a lot from late streets and constantly apply pressure! if we are waiting for a short card, but not only a card, but also we are looking for a situation to double! if we are the middle stack we put pressure on equal stacks! Good luck to everyone at the tables!

I also try to play as safe as I can, of course I think sometimes I have my crazy moments and it is exactly as you say any mistake can leave you out of the tournament, but often the strongest cards do not work because of that sometimes that take risks and especially if they never get those cards that we need or when the rest of the players are very aggressive

My opinion

One thing is all the people at the final table have wore out the luck of the cards to get there. I.E. The have played the percentage to the tilt now its a down right dirty new beginning. I like to look conservative and buy blinds every third to fifth round so you don't get blinded out.

When there is only two players I just go all in whenever the other guy is ready. Any two cards are good and I like to freak them out that way. Which hand do you call.

I play calmly with an average stack and wait for a good hand, with a short stack, I wait for a hand to put everything.
