    What helps at closing the deal. I have been donking my way deep into some tourneys as of late only to bust early at FT or right on bubble of final tbl. Just keep chuggin along? or is there a secret?

    when i get to a final table i usually tighten up a big.
    unless ima bigstack/chipleader, then i attempt to run the table over.
    having lotsa gears helps
    practice HU sngs for when u get HU

    good luck

    you can't really compare HU sng's to playing HU in most online MTT's.

    a lot of times if your running low on chips its the few levels before that are the problem, so I would take a look at those stages and see if maybe your tightening up to much... other than that I would say that stack sizes are crucial and few people pay enough attention to that, depending on the structure and your stack, many times you have to widen your hand requirements significantly, and like mentioned earlier knowing who has tightened up and wont call is huge, also I like the re-steal when short in that situation, because so many people are starting to raise light it works a lot. again though stack sizes and player personalities are big so pay attention to them, oh and I wont do it with ATC, I like to wait for cards that play well multi handed, triple up once and your problems are over, lol.
