Final Table Strategy

[checkoutftr]

Through the years i have taken down some notes on FT's with the hope that one day I'll actually play in one - OK i've played a few but surely not as many as I should have

Here it goes:
* Final Table- At the final table of a poker tournament, you must base your choices on how your opponents are playing -- in other words, what they’re giving you. If the table is playing passively, and everyone is waiting for others to get knocked out, that's your cue to drive the lane and play aggressively. Conversely, if there are overly aggressive, wild players at your table, then the best course of action is to sit back and wait for them to pick each other off. You cannot win a tournament when there are still nine players at the table. So, your goal in the early stages of final table play is to set yourself up for the short-handed battle to come.

I guess cards will determine a lot of it (and luck) but mostly this seems like words to live by (to me at least).

i just like to sit back anyways at the start of a FT see whose guna bully the table and whose climbing the cash ladder.

Then attack accordingly, avoid whoever etc. and play the stacks/position and your opponents in order to pick up chips wherever possible.

I don't like turning down good spots to pick up chips at any FT
