When The Goods Never Come
 

What do you do when you are at an aggressive table and you never get a hand? Do you just blind away? I have been in this predicament the last 20 MTT's I have played. The couple good hands I have got were early when it didn't matter. Do you start pushing any suited connectors and such? Dumb question but its starting to bug me.


Thanks

Let me rephrase that. In my scenario there is always a raise in front of me. I have about 1000 chips. The raise is to 500 or 600. Do I just push with any suited? I have no fold equity, and it is pretty much just luck at that point, but what else is there to do? Gap Concept be damned!!!!!!!



Thanks

Depends, what are the blinds? How long until your blinded off?

Re: When The Goods Never Come
 

Blinds are at 50 and 100 let's say. Just curious because lately I cannot get in a pot.

Thanks

We need your stack too.

Re: When The Goods Never Come
 

My stack is in the OP. I basically am saying if you have around 10 blinds at the time. Opening raise in front of you is to 500 or 600.

Re: When The Goods Never Come
 

With 10 blinds I wouldn't call a raise with any 2, I would be looking for a spot to open push.

G BAADE,

THE MTT GAME CAN BE VERY DRAINING. IT IS BEST NOT TO FOCUS ON FORCES OUTSIDE YOUR CONTROL. PLAY THE CARDS YOU GET. THAT IS ALL YOU CAN DO.

I know exactly where you are coming from. The reason why you always end up at this point in MTT's is because of your style. You are not aggressive early in the MTT enough to build up a stack. You need to take risks early to build up a stack so you aren't short-stacked mid/late.
