Thanks Iceman

That is good advice - especially for a tight player like me - it would of course work best if you are the middle or big stack - I often end up the short stack around bubble time due to my tight play - happened today actually - ended up 2nd again after being short stack on or near the bubble. I don't like the idea of being the shorty trying to steal at bubble time. If you get a cold run of cards in these things it is real hard to build your stack, especially after you've already had a bluff called, the blinds move too fast and as Harrington says in his book, these things turn into crap shoots pretty fast. He recommends doing some stealing early on.

I'm wondering if going more aggressive and trading off some 4th and 3rd place finishes for some 7th, 8th, and more second and first place (when the aggression pays off) finishes might be something to think about as well.

Sometimes I just think of it as headsup practice if I get that far - today I battled the guy for a half hour back and forth - he started with a 3X over me - I got to a 2X over him - but in the end I had two big hands go to the river and a fourth suit falls and I had to fold - had none of that suit - then he hits the nut straight on the flop to my pair of aces - asta la vista - typical headsup for me.
