Default Re: I throw myself at the mercy of the MTT forum. Help an old pooh-ba

For a while there I was just nailing the 11-16% bracket - just chump change or just shy of the bubble

and I tried to tell myself - "Imagine you're playing this KNOWING you will bubble - so now, knowing that you WILL bubble near the end - how will you play this A4 suited in mid position with 50 players to the money - will you just limp meekly again hoping to flop a flush draw you can push all in on? - or will you try to bet and pick up some blinds for the fight.

That sort of thing - but I've sorta been on hiatus - as winter comes in and I get my PC hooked up to my new 55 inch TV, I'm gonna focus on playing one tournament at time and re-building my reputation.

I think my weak-tight play may have been ok about 3 years ago - not stellar but I did ok in small fields - but I think my luck factor goes way up in larger fields and I need more to compensate for it - Nothing wrong with waiting for a big hand to make money - but if you can't outlast swings of luck - it's no good.
