At the final table, the gaps between finishing places are usually at their largest, so ICM has a strong influence on decisions. Stack sizes vary widely and short stacks often move all-in. Watch which players are under pressure and adjust your aggression to match.
Example: With nine players left, the last two tables merge into the final table.
