Just want to see some other players thoughts and personal opinion and what they do in tourneys and where and when they start being aggressive. I can make it deep in a tourney but a lot of the time I find myself folding in tight spots to the aggressor and chips start to dwindle. should I become more loose and call with second pairs with X, Obviously it is different when you are playing but just want to hear experience and thoughts on it. Thanks guys.

Assuming the stacks are deep enough for some maneuvering, I would recommend re-popping a raise with 2nd pair in position, on occasion. Instead of just calling and maybe risking even more through the next couple of betting rounds, find out where you are in the hand then, and quite possibly take it down then.
I also recommend punishing those players who limp every single hand with liberal aggression from late positions.

during bubble time is a good time to steal some blinds but not with an allin push cause if u get called ur most likely beat..

when the antes kick in during the middle stages of the tournament its worth wild to steal blinds, and open up a little for me.. before than its kinda useless for me.

Once you start getting below 30bbs and still a long ways to go, you should get more aggressive. Make more raises, 3 bets preflop. You dont want to get short and just try to pick up big hands or win flips aipf.
