In MTT do you keep an eye on the leaderboard?
I do in the later stages as it seems to help my play to know how far off the money I am.
But I read an article by a successful online player and he said he only ever considers his position on his table and never looks at the leaderboard.
What do you all do?

I like to keep track of the other play, specially when down to 2 tables, as players get moved from one table to another its nice to have some idea of how they are playing before they get to the table

i only look at it when im short stacked and close to the money. once folded pocket A's with a short stack becuase a lot of people would have called me and i didnt want to risk it only one away from the money.

I'm always looking at that leader bord, Itkind of gives me something to shoot for, and it also tells me how close I am to the money. Don't want to get knocked out on the BUBBLE.

Keeping an eye on the leader board is always a good idea, especially when the numbers are dropping and getting closer to the money. I know that I keep track.

When it gets close to the money I look at the leaderboard to see where my stack is at... If I need some more chips I STEAL MORE than I normally would because many players sit tight and wait for the money. I play a lot of low-buy in tournamnets, so the first level of the money isn't a whole lot. I would rather have a lot of chips with a shot at winning big than barely making the money and having to go all in with a hand like J7.

Unless that flop comes ...... 10-9-8

i am always checking to see how many poeple are left in the tourney, although it would be better to only check ebery half hour or hour, becuase the am9unt of popele would be a lot less at those times.
