Re: My tourney game must suck.
There are things to keep in mind here.
The tournaments Phil Ivey plays stay at limits longer, meaning tighter play early on; not so online. There is the frenzy to build the stack from everyone, so stealing is likely to be unsuccessful in the first few rounds of online tournies (Especially since it's "only" t120).
Also, there are antes worth stealing with Phil's tournies, and not online tournies. I admit I don't know the structure of yours tourney, but I assume there were no antes at this point anyway.
Sure, if this level last an hour, try to steal a few pots here and there so you aren't pegged a rock, but if they blinds are going up every 15 minutes, it's just not worth it this early with such a mediocre holding.
