Default Re: I\'m not sure what this means

I think I've played around 200 MTT's now, but I have no idea what my ROI is or whether it'smeaningful at this time.

I don't even want to suggest that what I am reporting is part of a concious effort to make the money with a lot of chips or go home, it's not. As you have mentioned I play probably too cautiously in those pre-bubble stages. I think post bubble my cautious play pays dividends in 2 ways. A lot of guys loosen way up and just folding 2 orbits is likely to move you up several places, but I seem to get a lot of steals at this point, probably because I have played so tight up until that stage.

But in that 90 minutes before the bubble, where I usually either have chips or get low, I suspect I am a little too loose in my raising (all-in) standards, which leads to doubling up or going home I guess.
