How Hold'em final table (including heads-up), played in a different way?

How can I improve the final table to play? I have learned from the final table several times but always seem to play it wrong. What advice would you give to me?

Since number of players is reduced and the blinds to get more you need to loosen up and become much more aggressive than in the early rounds. You must put pressure on short stacks (especially if you have a decent-sized stack.) Good rule of thumb is still an aggressive start in the tournament, the blinds 10% achieved their starting stack. For example, if you start with $ 1500 in tournament chips when the blinds reach 75 dollars per $ 150 you start by raising and corporate blind steal in late position. Stealing blinds become more decisive strategy to survive (and win the tournament.) For example, early in the tournament when the blinds are $ 15 / $ 30 full table, you can throw away A2s button. But if it is late in the tournament, only 4 players left and the blinds are $ 200 / $ 400 or $ 300 / $ 600, standard blind steals increase 2-3 times the big blind is usually good to win the pot uncontested pre-flop, especially if the blinds are medium-sized stacks. Early in the tournament no one have 3 players left, or you have a heads-up and the blinds are huge, there will be more by good fortune. You've already made money. Now you have to get in there and splash around with any decent hole cards. A more aggressive increase your chances of winning the tournament. When heads up you loosen up even more, and play almost anything any "Ace or Face", a pocket pair or a suitable connector for the small blind for as long as you can be sure you can not raise the big blind. If the big blind is uplifting limps a little blind with a player during the tournament should come to an aggressive increase in the cards themselves (most times the standard 2-3 to raise the big blind is enough.) from the big blind you usually do not want the small blind to see "cheap" flop. If you have a good hand, do let the small blind limp into the pot too often. To throw up. Overtime, the opponent afraid to limp with marginal hands, and this forces him to just come in the pot, if he is a decent one hand so you have some idea of what he stands. Now the tricky part. How to prevent someone to do this for you? Well, if you're short-stacked and the blinds are getting big, there is no other option than to bring an all-in, If you have a decent hand (any ace or a face or a couple) and a small blind / big blind and raise you one minute button. Blinds eat to survive so you need to make a stand. If there are 4-5 players left and you live in the center stack and a couple of turns you can tell raiser to steal a couple of blinds, especially if you are serious short stacks at the table. You can get blinded by them, if you want to play it safe. But you can not let the button raiser to steal too many blinds or she drives over you. If it's just min-raise call a good percentage of the time to look at what happens to the flop. Most of the time the flop will miss his hand, and also yours. Sometimes you can steal the pot the pot size bet on the flop. If you have a decent hole cards in favor of the big blind, raise the button raiser. Much time she puts out his hand. Calling / raised his steal attempt to show him he can not drive more than you should slow down and steal his business. In principle, the final table (5 players or less) to play when the blinds are getting big means you have to become more aggressive in defending your blinds against the button raisers. A more detailed explantion to pick up "Harrington on Hold 'Em" series of books. They have helped me to be quite a bit of the tournament. Hope this helps.
