Re: I have applied Paul Phillips advice but am still sucking
I recommend playing smaller field sizes to reduce the variance. Not so you can win more money, but so you can have a better idea of the frequency with which you make the final table. That way you can gauge how you are doing. If you are not a winning player you should not be trying to make a big cash in a big field, its EV-.
The shorter stack sizes mean less splashing around. Many of the players will be in push and fold mode from 50/100 to the end of the tournament. If you are working on your game you need to be able to call/raise and make some bad decisions without going out all the time.
The shorter stacks favor a stronger pf game, which is the easiest part of the game to play for less experienced players. The variance is high because its hard to string together 30 coinflips without losing more than 2 in a row. But the fields are comensurately weaker.
