I'm new here but not new to poker.  I'd like to point out that emotions change when playing a multi-table tournament, right before the bubble bursts.  If you are less than 10 players from being in the money, you have to be aware of that fact.  
 
This could mean a number of things.  No two situations are the same. If you are the big stack, you might want to steal from the conservative small stacks.  If you are a small stack, you probably need a monster hand.  
 
What about if you have a medium stack?  Last night I was playing a tournament for an 18,000 dollar package to the Ausie Millions down under.  I was 4 places away from being gauranteed the package and I had a medium stack. I raised 3.5 times the blind with pocket kings and the player in front of me went all in.  He had a bigger stack.  I called, I lost. What did I learn?  I didn't need to risk my entire stack.  I never should have called a bigger stack that late in the tourney.
 
The moral is, pay attention to how bubbles affect people's play.  He had pocket 8s and floped a set.  He probably didn't expect me to call. Whether I should have or not doesn't change that fact that people change late in a tourney.
