Look at stack sizes. Look for good opportunities to steal.
Say the stacks are: You=800, 1200, 1200, All the rest.
If the blinds are 200/400 and you are UTG and have the big stack on the SB I would steal. button will fold - scared of the big stack,
If Big stack has crap he will fold, he doesn't need to call you here and risk the BB moving in as well.
The BB needs something good to call, you are still going to cripple the BBs stack if you win.

I completely agree that as UTG, you need to force the action here and often steal. However, the button shouldn't be too worried about the big stack here. All he has to do is beat the UTG stealer and he guarantees himself a money spot. Besides, if he isolates and beats UTG, he'd be at 2600 and a huge factor in the tourney.

As button, I'm pushing allin as well on a lot of hands.
