11s tight as hell lately?
I've been playing the Party 11 dollar SNGs over the last week, and I feel like the game's really tightened up a lot. Seems like most of the time when the blinds reach level 4 (50/100), there are still like 7/8 people left. It's usually about 5-6 people with 600-800 chips and 2 people with like 2000 or so.
At this point, it kind of becomes a toss up because I'm usually around 600-800 and with the 10X BB rule I'm pushing or folding, but I've been having trouble getting in the money doing this. I can't wait too long for a hand or I'll get blinded away, but getting all in with AJ and being called by KQ or even a low PP isn't exactly idea.
What's the proper way to adjust to games that are really tight through the first 3 levels? Should I be loosening up, making some moves, and trying to get a stack for the later levels so I can push people around, or should I just keep doing what I'm doing and hope that in the long run, better decision making in levels 4-5 will lead to profit? Any thoughts?
