Default Re: Weak play, or right play

The payout structures have flattened out since a lot of the literature on tourney play has been written. While finishing in top 3 or 5 is still the best result, it is not the end all be all of tournament goals. Especially when near the money.

If I have an average stack, I make the raise. I was at about the worst stack amount for my decision. I had enough to virtually guarantee making money, but not enough to force people to fold to an all-in if they held overcards.

I don't play weak-tight usually, and when I do I have strategic reasons.

Remember tournament pros usually survive by winning a few tournaments a year, rather than cashing in many tournaments.

There are not that many tournament pros surviving on tournaments.
