Re: Inexperienced MTT player looking for late-stage advice
One thing to keep in mind is that if you are a shortstack late in the tourney, always raise all-in when yo got something. The reason for this is that a normal raise preflop will almost always be reraised by the bigstacks, and then you might feel forced to fold.
Also, people wont put you on a strong hand, so you might get lots of action.
The worst play you can make as a short/medium stack is to open the pot with a normal raise (3-4BB) and then fold to a reraise. So either open the pot with all-in, or only open the pot when you have good enough hand to call a reraise with.
Finally, steal blinds from position. Even if the SB/BB suspects you steal, its hard for them to call with nothing. And even if you are caught with rags, you arent that much of an underdog against 2 high cards, and as a shortstack you have to gamble a little.
