I have over 7000 chips blinds at 150/300.

Im in 80 of 300 where 108 get money.

How should I play the rest of this tourney as the blinds continue to increase.

Gl man take it down! You obviously don't need too much help cause it seems like your doing pretty well yourself. But if it was me I would be playing pretty loose and putting up a lot of pre flop raises especially if your a big stack. Then when the buble bursts tighten back up and only look for those powerfuly knock out hands

Yea I don't know why I played it that way.. It was only the 5th or so real money tournament I've played so I should get better. The money I entered with was from a freeroll so I didn't lose anything. But now I am back to freerolls since I went broke. (Only had a couple of dollars anyway.)

Your AT might've been the 'right' play (I couldn't tell you because I don't know the particulars of the hand). Typically in an MTT if your stack falls to 14-22 bb's, this is a good size stack to be looking to make 're-steals' (if an opponent is quite aggressive preflop & has been raising alot in LP to pick up the blinds, look for a spot to ship it over their raise in an effort to 're-steal'). If you all below this stack size you're basically looking for spots to either ship it over a raise with a big hand, or ship it allin preflop if you're first into the pot & you figure blinds are fairly tight (sometimes it's better to play the player when shipping it in as opposed to playing your cards).
Congrats on the game!! Well done!

Sounds like you did real well to get that far in the first place. For someone who just started freerolls, you dun' good, son!

But I'm confused. Did you not just place higher than 10th? So, didn't you get in the money?

I finished in 27th i think.. THe top 108 got paid. But I only got 4-5 dollars. You had to make the final table to see any real profit.
