Just a situation I ran into, and wanted some advice.
$11 MTT Satellite.
4 players left.
Top 3 all pay the same (a seat)
Blinds 500/1000
Seat 1 - 12k (me)
Seat 2 - 30k (30% vpip, semi-tight, defends against my steal)
Seat 3 - 30k (30% vpip, semi-tight, defends against my steal)
Seat 4 - 8k (22% vpip, tight, doesn't steal too much)
Normally, I'm aggressive on the bubble, picking up blinds and such, but I think this is one of the few situations where I should play uber-tight and not get snapped off stealing? My only goal is to outlast Seat 4 and limp into the money, isn't it?
Results:
This is what I did, and it worked, and Seat 4 blinded down. I just want to make sure I'm not being results oriented and that my thinking was appropriate.
