Just wanted to know what everyones stratagies are deep in a mtt.
Recently found myself 4 1/2 hours into a MTT 9 players left (from 135) was 7th in chips with approx 7 Big Blinds and on the button. folded round to me with pocket 6's so I auto pushed. called by the large stack in the small blind (who hit the river with 1 of his 2 overcards) and BB folded with a lower stack than me. Giving that there were 3 players with smaller stacks than me would you have avoided this situation and tried to progress up the winnings ladder or played in the same way in an attempted to win the thing.
BTW walked away with $11 from a $4 buy in so feel a bit peed at struggling through that far and that long for not much gain, although haven't enjoyed a game of poker that much in a long time.
