Just recently, I noticed that time and time again I am playing tight for the first hour or so in tournies, and am building up a nice chipstack, but for some reason, I then seem to get impatient and want a piece of the action, so I'll get involved in pots that really I have no business being in.
It starts off as a steady ebb away of the chips. An odd call here, and odd call there, but each time its eating away at my chips. Then when I do get a playable hand, maybe pocket pair, then I go hell for leather with it, and end up getting screwed leaving me then short stacked and in a far worse position than I was at the start.
Anyone got any advice other than the blatantly obvious one of not getting involved in hands I neednt get involved in.
How do you keep boredom away when all you are doing is hitting the fold button repetitively for maybe an hour, not playing any hands..
I need to get this out of my game and quick. I am getting deeper and deeper into games, but this weakness is crucifying me at critical points..
