Needs some tips on playing the last stages of a tournament.Last night PokerStars $3 buying 2000 playersNow there are 65 players left the blinds are 300,600My stack is at 32,000 around averageI am playing preety tight picking some spots for stealing blinds not but also not getting descent cards and therefore the stack is dwindeling.Now down to 14,000Last hand I try a raise again with KJs in late position and the guy who constantly seems to pick up the blinds and re-raises all in all the time raises again all in and this time he has AA.I seem to always get to this position late in the tournament but I am not sure what to do, do you raise more preflop with marginal hands, do you wait it out to get descent cards, should I be going all in over the top?I have only made the final table once and I didn't play aggressive since I had a small stack by then.Any suggestions would be welcome!

With K J I'm assuming you raised to 1800. If somebody comes over the top of you it's probably a good idea to lay it down. You still have 12,000 in chips. Next round the blinds are going to go up and you're shortstacked. This is where you have to wait for a strong ace go all in hope to get called and double up.

J Farell, why don't you mind your own business and stick to complaining about always being a crappy poker player that you are.I have signed contracts with 25 top players who love my product and my next series will be even better than the first.
