Re: Why does one get soo many 3rds.
yeah, with robotic/tightass play up to that point, you're only gonna get in with more than low stack if you happen to have crushed a couple small stacks late or had huge lead early... in any case you've got work to do ITM... usually a double-up against big stack or a bunch of aggressive blind stealing is what its going to take.

[ QUOTE ] Why are the reasons people get too many thirds and not enough 1st or 2nds. [/ QUOTE ] not aggressive enough near/at the bubble [/ QUOTE ] this doesnt always hold true. a lot of times people carry out that agression over to 3 handed play and get eaten alive. you dont haven ear as much fold equity at that point. holla

Re: Why does one get soo many 3rds.
Hm... so raptor, what do you (not) push ITM when the blinds are 200/400 and you have $2000 and are OTB, and in the SB? The blinds are often that high. When the blinds are high enough you can push almost anything right, even when they call with J8s(?)
And it happens quite often at the $22s and $33s that people are WAY too tight ITM, and fold their stacks away.

23% 3rds 15% 2nds 11% 1st [/ QUOTE ] Dude, that's 49%. Forty-nine freaking percent. You're doing fine. If the players at the 11s will let you sneak into the money that often (I would tend to assume that's how this distribution happened), take them up on it. It's usually better to play aggressively for first than to sneak into third, but there's a point at which you're better off just taking what the table's giving you. You've reached that point.

Re: Why does one get soo many 3rds.
In my very limited experience, of the finishes ITM, I'm 28% 1st, 38% 2nd, and 34% third. I have no idea if that's normal or not.
When I first started playing, I read one of the strategy posts on this forum, and it said "gamble for first, settle for third, and don't worry about second" so that's what I did.
