Hi guys
I played a tournament with 990 people and i finished 39 and the first 9 people get a ticket. The problem was in the late stage i could do nothing i had bad cards so i folded a lot. I had 2 bb left so i went all in A7 suited. So i bust. Can someone help me to be better at this stage of a tournament.

you shouldn't have got down to 2BB because big stacks will call nomatter what. you have to get in position and steal the Blinds to stay in and you cant do that short stacked so never get short stacked

You must playing agressivelly in middle stage of tournament and playing more LAG hands in late stage you must play agressivelly if you are short. See to lobby fo average stack for it.

I suggest to you use push or fold strategy. Sometimes its works very well.

keep track of how many BB you have in your stack, when you get down to about 10BB you need to shove from late position when folded to with any two cards. You cant wait for good cards, you have to shove from position with a big enough stack where people will still fold to you.

It often gets critical when you only have less than 10BB left. The problem is that if you play against big stacks on your table that they will call a BB or a raise (that is high in comparison to your stack) because they at first have not that bad hand, want to see the flop and third try to bust you.

You simply were too late to rescue the situation, i think. Perhaps you would have won an earlier pot at 8-9BBs and doubled up... Even if you double up 2BB you are kind of busted anyway... :)
