C/R or C/C in a FT situation C/R or C/C in a FT situation

I think it´s only one spot left to FT.
Table dinamics : Both players are regs and better than me , i dont have really a lot of experience at FT
I have been playing somewhat tight and V was aggressive on flop and turn over 70 hands

1) As i am the shortest guy around shoud i be more aggressive in these situations?

2) Should i only threathen bigger stacks when i only really can hurt them? I thought about a C/R all in but my stack is around 40% of Villain so not sure if in this FT dinamics thats gonna scare him

So i just played it safe and no luck

All thoughts appreciated

Seems a good spot to check raise all in on the flop - don't get too caught up by the stage of the tourney - you need to keep playing aggressive poker - As the short stack ICM factor is relatively small and you should have a tight image that will increase your fold equity

Ok this was my main doubt. So when i have "something to lose" (like being a middle size stack) is when i start thinking with ICM mind right?

yes ICM factor is highest mid stack vs big stack - but you need to stay aggressive with any stack size

If you're gonna call pre with J10o and not rip it on a flop like that you shouldn't be calling with J10 imo.
