Against the chip leader, I will play more tightly and wait a moment to double the chips. With the middle pair I won’t go all-in preflop. If the flop is a good combination, then only. Of course, there are times when the chip leader goes all-in and you have AA. This is a good chance to double. But in such cases, I often lose. The game is a game. I'm not afraid of the chip leader, I'm just looking more closely at his game. Is it possible to be a chip leader much more dangerous? Everyone is trying to take your stack. Whether you like it or not, you will be aggressive in its place.

I have never been afraid of them, I have tried all the time to double my money from their stack. I saw it as an opportunity.

You played the hand exactly right. Folding to the chip leader will just set you up to be ran over. I am never afraid of the chip leader just because of the stack. I evaluate his/her game and look to see what cards and decisions are made and how he/she is running...but I would do exactly what you did in that situation 100% of the time because you are making the right decision and you will win a lot more times than you lose. I know it stings to lose like that, it happens to me too (more often than I would like). Keep working at it and don't fear the chip leader.

Keep fighting
Thanks for sharing your pain.
Please keep fighting chip leaders when you are an 80% favorite. You got what all poker players hope for 80% equity to double your stack. It is exactly the type of situation you want to have happen all the time. His chip stack does not matter, his running hot does not matter. Do not let the pain of losing one hand in one tournament make you play poorly in all other tournaments you play in.
Repeat this to yourself over and over.
I was right and I did what was right! I was right and I did what was right! I was right and I did what was right! I will never stop doing what is right just because it hurts sometimes!
Keep doing what you did and when you get rich doing it remember me.

It all depends how they are playing. If they are very loose aggressive then I don't have a problem getting it in against them with at premium hand. That is generally your best spot to double up. sometimes it just doesn't work out an you are eliminated. If you lose and get knocked out just move on the next game knowing that you made the right play

Yes that's right mackmasterss says it's called collectively when you have a little money people are trying to get you to leave faster, especially in tournaments, because if one all the knock, they are not playing is a decent place, that would have to be up higher, so worried about the Chip leader, and it vyigryvaet, and they rise. In Poker, no one will help you, if you are weak, you will be eaten and will be happy, we play for the prize. Fair play! In Poker, contrary for the strong to quickly get the prizes!

If you play against the chip leader you have the advantage that if you raise you will pay almost every time, that you have a good hand to raise, and the disadvantage is that he plays aggressively and until you have some good cards for attack you do not have much chips for that.
