Your goal in this stage of the tournament is simple - you want to make it to the late stages and you want to do it with a big stack. However, this won't happen by itself. The stakes are rising at a regular basis and you can't afford to sit back and wait for really strong cards before you get involved in the action. The blinds and/or antes now hurt your stack and you have to open up your game and start picking up pots. You have to be aggressive and take more risks in this stage of the tournament. As always it's vital that you keep track of your opponents playing styles. If they play tight you should loosen up, and if they play loose you should tighten up. Your knowledge about the opponents will be valuable in many other ways. You will know which players you can bluff and which ones are "calling stations". If you use this information correctly you will have very good chances of increasing your chips stack.
