MTT End Game Strategy

[shazbox]

Are there any articles or something out there specifically about the end stages of an MTT? Is playing SNGs the best way to get better at this?

I am finding myself in the top 10 going into the money a lot lately, but I can't seem to finish any of them off. Looking to improve my abilities near the end, aside from just luckboxing card rush wins.

SNGs help a little. Make sure that you are taking advantage of the bubble. If you have a decent stack during the bubble, just pwnd on the medium to shorties. Most of the time people clam-up so that they can make the money. You are trying to build a stack for the FT. If you have a 10M stack, shove on the LP raisers with a wide range when on the bubble.

I was actually meaning post bubble. Like last 50 people if there were 2k people to begin with. All the way to the final table.

at some point you have to make a move without cards. If you're not willing to play postflop, then you need to look for vulnerable midstacks to 3 bet steal from.

It's all about looking for opportunities and then taking them, even if your cards suck balls.

Don't forget about the FT bubble. Basically though, what I said previously still applies with 50 remaining. Steal blinds as much as possible. Restealing when in the blinds when 10M.

If the blinds get high, you have to win races. Reraising stealers helps but it might commit you with a substandard hand.

Ya I think I mostly have to improve my push/fold game.
