Usefull post you linked to, does that also mean inversly that I should be much more inclined to take coin flips once in the final 3 as the jump from 2nd to 1st is much bigger than the jump from 3rd to second?

The general idea is that you should be pushing in situations where you're likely to get a fold and you should be judicious when calling. "Taking coinflips" is a consequence (as Aleo said, not a bad consequence) of your primary goal of taking the blinds going wrong.

Obviously the best way to do this is to have position (where you don't have many people left to act behind you who can call). The other way is to have a good enough hand that even though you have more people left to act, you may have better odds than a coinflip when you get called to compensate for the greater likelihood of a call.

Main point: don't call as many pushes. Make more pushes that will likely fold your opponents.
