Ive been playing quite a few live poker MTT games lately.
Today I played a big tournament with about 200 players.
Towards the latter stages of a tournament I struggle to maintain a decent stack size and it forces me to start pushing all in (when im under 10 BBs).
I just dont seem to get the hands to push all in with and run out of time/blinds.
ie I was down to 7 BBs and got 10-10 so went all in, then someone called and sucked me out with their A7 and hit the A.
I had them covered and still had 1.5BBs left. So I was left with a limited amount of hands to push all in with. I was Under the Gun and went all in with a crap hand (J3) and needless to say there was a 3 way all in and I got beat.
Anyway my point being, this is typical of many MTTs I play.
Im not sure what to do to maintain a decent stack.
Im not getting the hands to value bet with and too many people just call when I try to bluff or steal so that only provides limited options.
Please help........
