This hand happened after I had already made the money, there was about 185 players and the next pay jump was at 152. The Jump is for about 1 buy in which isn't significant but I play micros and I'm trying to build my BR so the ladder is worth about 1% of my BR. I'm never really sure what to do in these situations and I never know if being narrowly ahead or far behind is worth my tournament life. I think I could have made my open maybe a 2.5X but I really don't know if this is a situation I should be looking to get 15 more big blinds in at that point of a tournament.
I feel like it's probably really nitty but I ended up going pretty deep in the tournament so I'm not sure if that's positive reinforcement or being results oriented in a 1 game sample size.
Your thoughts are much appreciated and I look forward to hearing them!
