home tourney question

[walterberk]

Basiclly all of my play is home SNGs since I had some bad experiences playing online. I usully beat my friends, but went out 4th and 3rd the last two games respectively. I think the problem in both situations is that I didn't build up my chips enough towards the end. I like to play tight and aggressive, but I think when we get down to the end, I don't make enough moves. Anyone have any ideas/experiences/wisdom regarding this that they can empart on me? I'm pretty sure I have the potential to beat them every time we play.
