I wanted to get a little discussion going about the term chip leader and or table captain.
Somewhere along the line, i picked up this concept that when your playing in a tournament and your deep beyond the bubble and trying to go to the final table and you have alot of chips (way above the tourney average ), that it is your duty to bully people around and steal blinds.
Ok ,i get it and it makes alot of sense. The question is: How much bullying around are we talking about and where is the point that we crossed the line?
Are we supposed to be calling off 25BB with QJ from the bb just because button open shoved?
Are we raising and calling shoves with any ace garbage hand?
Like when we say,that the deeper you are (blindwise) the more you can afford to call? How loose are we talking about here? caling shoves with pocket 3's for 20 BB?
I think i have somewhere along the line lost this balance and i would like someone to help me understand whats the best play when you have alot of chips?
Are we getting involved everywhere and squeezing alot or are we tightening up and playing premiums?
I think i here alot of conflicting opinion on this issue and i would like some feedback as to which is the best way to play .
