In tournaments you need to be able to shift gears as the competition gets smaller and smaller.  in the beginning, tight play is good in order to weed out the loose/aggressive players early on.  Play tight and slowly build up your chip stack...but when there is less players and less tables to play, you have to be able to turn from tight play to aggressive, in order to go against the bigger stacks.  Since everyone wants to make it to the final table, now is a good time to push your chips around (especially smalls stacks).  The blinds should be pretty decent in the late parts of the tourny, so focus on stealing blinds, protecting your blinds, and stealing pots in order to build up your chip stack.  Dont be afraid to push the low stacks around either late in the game...always raise and reraise them and keep putting pressure on the low stack.  (but dont get stupid, cuz it could hurt if you get caught).  When it comes to big stacks, keep in mind they're probably using their chips to intimidate players out of pots.  When it comes to playing the big stacks, i normally stay out of their way unless i have a premium hand and i can come over the top of their raise/reraise.  If you find yourself with the lowest stack at the table, dont be afraid to constantly raise and reraise and steal blinds/pots as often as you can.  in my mind, when im the lowest stack i feel like i have nothing to lose and all to gain, so im not afraid to be agressive and to put my chips to the test with constant raises and all ins.
