today i play a little different. today i;m willing to play more agressively when the whole table's tighting up, just before the cash. today i'm willing to gamble and even lose just before the bubble, in order to have a better chance of winning the tournament. guess i can say- this is what my PERSONAL experience has led me to... but again, if youre tigher with your bankroll- its better to place in the money if you wont get your big pair before that.

I agree with Jacks but...When Im shortstacked alot goes into deciding how i will play it.Hows my table image,just how shortstacked am I?Is the table being tight or loose.Are close to or on the bubble?Also positioning and the reads I have on other players at my table and the people in each hand with me and there stack sizes.Not too be too cliche but most poker is situational never play the shortstack the EXACT same way everytime as this can crush you if you ever play the same people consistently online or live
