How to play when deep in tournaments?

[Nade]

Have made a few deep runs in tournaments the last couple of days only to come unstuck before the final table even though i've gained a big stack in 3 of 5 cashes. Just want to know what the experienced tournament players on here do late in tournaments with a big or healthy stack? I know i've made final tables by being patient back when i used to play them more than cash but don't know if that's still a good strategy? These last couple of days i've been very active with the big stack, playing as many pots as possible in position and got into some tough spots post flop which hasn't been working out. Is there any consensus out there like is it better to attack a certain player type or 3bet a lot or anything else? Thanks.

Re: How to play when deep in tournaments? People with 15-25 BBs will often look to shove over a raise pre-flop, so pretty pointless raising without a hand you'd call that shove with if there are a couple or more people behind you with these stack sizes. Stealing the blinds is pretty important when the antes kick in, but I would at least be doing it with a semi decent hand (random broadway cards, suited connectors). Most tournament players are happy to always stack off with TP good kicker, and will rarely bluff without at least a draw, so don't try to make hero calls.
