coinflip in early stages ?
what are You going to do in next situation ?
(It seems to be my problem in MTT's) You haven't got any superior hands, blinds are increasing, You see how your stack is vanishing.... option 1: You wait great hand without results until you have only about 2xBB and then choose best You got; all in with 22, K10, A3, Q7, etc. if You win, You are in the final table with smallest stack option 2: You rather take risk earlier with mediocre hand, if You win, You are chip leader |

I think most people here would prefer option #2 by a large margin; but you can't force anything.

I think #2 is better, timing is a problem.
When is the right moment to give up hope that next hand could be AA and go all in with J6 ? |

Just concentrate on making +EV decisions.
If that means taking risks early then so be it. If no +EV plays come your way just fold until they do, as your stack gets smaller +EV opertunities become more common. |

Re: coinflip in early stages ?
#2 You gotta use your stack while it's still big enough to frighten people when you all-in. Mediocre is fine, but here I'd rather be stealing than going against good hands, but if it is that, I never worry too much.
Try reading Harrington on Holdem #2, about inflection points. |
