So often I see 2 common mistakes during final table end play. The most common is when 3 people are in the pot and one is all in. So often I see a raise post flop by a player on a draw or bluff forcing the third party out of the pot and then they loose the hand to the short stack gaining nothing and tripleing up the short man. It is much to your advantage to check it down unless your hand improves, even if you lose, if the other player takes the pot and eliminates the short stack.
The other is the big stacks failing to call in the blind when the short stack goes all in when the call is less than 3 blinds. How can you fold that even if you have rags. Your priced in. If you have two live cards you are about 30% to win.
The object here is to eliminate opponents not build your stack (you have already built your stack). Each opponent gone takes you up in the prize money and closer to the finish line.
True That .................
There are always exceptions to any rule, but as a solid base line I feel you hit it perfectly.
This takes some players a long time to incorporate it in their games and others seem do it with out thought. My exceptions are of course when you feel the other player isn't going to check it down or you have the monster.
Learn as we Go.
