    working myself up to FTR fullhouse status while not giving 1 solid piece of advice

    Default I just went from Chip Leader at FT to 8th place

    and out of the money, of course, in a 5 table sit-n-go on Party Poker - I am cruising along, stealing some blinds - everyone at the table is tightening up - I flop top pair with Q,10 in Big Blind, bet pot every time, get called down by AK who just happens to hit Ace on river - This is not a pissed off question or a bad beat story - I wasn't OVERLY dominating the chip lead (I had $26k in chips, blinds were 600/1200) but for crying out loud - Should I just camp and make the money here? I could fold everything and most likely guarantee a 4th place finish - But I felt like I should keep my momentum going, and play top pair - Basically I felt like I should play loose cause the table was SOOOO Tight....what is going on - I read AoKrongly post about pacing, then I read Radashcks post about aggressiveness - Aggressive seems better to me, personally - just fits my style as im' kinda crash and burn -

    If your in a 5 table sit n go, 8 players, only top 7 place ITM - Do you camp? or do you bully and try to grab every extra chip you can get your hands on?

    you should continue bullying, pick up those extra chips to put you in possition to win it, that is where the real money is

    try not to risk large amounts of your stack with just top pair
    try to pick on the average stacks, they all waiting for a shorie to bust so they can get ITM, small stacks are more willing to push back and may take coin flips which you dont necesarlly want. advoid large pots with the other chip leaders with out the near-nuts.
