Actually these were my first 4 tourneys of the day. All of these pushes are fairly standard plays for me, but I'm starting to think that I'm a little too aggro in the middle levels. I'm approaching 2K 30+3's with a 20% ROI and a 38% ITM. I'm happy with the ROI, but I know of many more people with higher ITM's some approaching 45%. I wonder if my lower ITM is due to taking too many mid-level coinflips. Usually I 4-table the 30+3's but have started adding some 50+5's in the mix. Thanks for any responses, I'm really just looking for a sanity check.

Hand #1 - Initial raiser had raised 3 times the last 10 hands, always to 300, without any callers.

Hand #3 - SB seemed pretty solid and wasn't really picking on my blinds like maybe I would have been if I were the big stack.

Hand 1 - Fold. It's 8 handed and you still have over 10x the BB. No reason to get frisky with AJo, too many hands have you beat.

Hands 2-4. Push it. Push it real good.
