Tight Bubble Play

The other night I was playing a low stakes SNG and on reaching the bubble the whole table got very tight. I know that this is not unusual but I'd never seen it to such an extreme before with all of the other three players.

I was really unsure of what to do so I just stuck to a tight/aggressive game and managed to move myself from the lowest chip stack (a thousand or so less than anyone else) to finish second.

I have two questions......

1. Was my tight/aggresive good? Is there anything else I could have done. I know a lot of this depends greatly on each hand but I'm just wondering if there's any general play/tactics etc. that would've been useful here.

2. Are the other players (given that they're stacks are pretty deep compared to mine and the blinds) actually any good? Should one or more of them (say chip leader) actually be aggresive here?

Ok, that's more than two questions but you get the general idea. Would appreciate your thoughts.....

I love tight bubble players.I just come in raising to steal the blinds and antes,and backoff to any aggression back.

If everyone is super tight then open up your game. Start raising and stealing those monsterous sit n go blinds and antes. Just know that doing this loosens your image and soon those tight players will start playing back at you. Then you tighten back up and bust one of them w/ a decent hand!

Just what they said. If they get tight at the bubble and I have a decent stack. I steal alot with large preflop raises and c-bet the hell out of them. I just fold to any large reraise, but beware of the slow play because gauranteed one of them will try when you are being that aggressive, You'll know when they catch because they will call your large c-bet.

Thanks guys. I suspected as much but didn't feel brave enough to do it at the time - will go for it more in future.
