to each thier own i guess, im not here to tell anyone how to play, was just my opinion, and a few tht i have learned from. i will say i dont get what u mean by playin to win with 2 tables left isnt a good strategy, i dont know any profitable players who dont play to win...obv there is a ton of factors that come into play, when deciding the best move. at any point of the game, but i do know you try to run up the blinds in a real tourny good players will eat ur luch while eating your blinds, i personally would rather jam 7 2 in pos when its folded to me than call 2 others with ace king...i see the stallers as weaker players and try to exploit that every chance get, dont always work, there has been plenty of times i have raised the blinds and run into the bb having aces..then i just write off as unlucky..but never do i wanna be sitting at the final table with under 10 bb vs 100....thats a terrible strategy imo, also it all depends on stack size, if you have no fold equity, then yeah you prolly dont wanna get too agressive. and if you have a comfy stack then you are just gonna find spots, u sit and stall with less than 10 bbs your just asking to give your stack away in blinds, while 2 outta 3 guys under you now have stacks and u get aces and get called by 4 players cause u had no fold equity....and then u get sucked out on....by the big stack cause he just wanted to make sure someone took you out.
