I just busted the Sunday Cubed with 4 players left.
At the finaltable i came in with a big stack and like the bigdog would have said “destroyed everyone”. When it was 4 ppl left, I at one point had 1,5million in chips and everyone else had around 500-600k. The blinds was something like 5k/10k.
What i did in this spot was like raise, raise, raise with alot of garbage hands. Mostly the folded. But often it went like: I cbet flop , they called and then I had to give up.
Do you usually push it here or sit back some?

I got it for some flips and lost it. I also tried to push ppl of hands that didnt work. Now my stack started to go down and down.
My mainquestion is:
How do you usally think at this point? (when you are losing chips and just was the big chipleader)
Because for me i get a little afraid. With a big stack you can do more like you want to.You can caller lighter, because you can put ppl to the test and dont have to risk as big % of your stack.
So when i start to lose some chips its like everyone can smell it. You are bleeding and everyone tries to get you. Does everyone else feel the same? Is there something you can do to avoid that?

I also wanted to ask you how do you think about tight players when it starts to get down to like 4-5 players. I have a really hard time to understand there ranges when you get down to that few ppl.
9 or 10 handed i have a much better feeling how strong for example AQ is in differnt spots.

Maybe that skill is very hard to teach ppl. Maybe some ppl just have it. And some dont, what do you think?
