What do you do when you have 20bb or more?
1 open more, steal and resteal more ,bluf
2 tighten up , wait for others to bust and basically don't play untill you have less than 15bb ?

It all depends on how your stack relates to others, and how much bubble pressure exists.
i.e. If you're somehow the chip leader with 20bb, and there are a few players with 4bb or less with the bubble about to burst, someone with 15bb shouldn't be getting involved against you without a monster, because he has the most to lose. You can therefore do more stealing.
If your stack is middle of the pack, with a bunch of players about to bust, then you should be reluctant to play against anyone with bigger stacks, so should play tighter.
I guess you need to learn how ICM (independent chip model) affects you, so search for that, or just look at the stickies in the low stakes MTT/SnG forums.
