The Motivation

Your motivation is the key difference in the way you play at a Final Table. Some people are already happy with just reaching it, whereas others want to win the whole tournament, no matter what.

If your only goal is to win, then a riskier and more aggressive playing style is advisable.

But if you are already content with being among the last 9 or 10 players, and every won position and increase of your winnings is only a bonus, then you should avoid confrontations and watch how the others go to war with each other.

In addition, your playing style also depends a lot on the number of opponents and the proportions of the different chip stacks.
