'C'mon, getting close... Just time bank a bit.... 3/4 of the people left get paid... So close.... Dammit!'
This seems to be me an awful lot, and it's really bothering me. I seem to between the top third and the bubble in about half of the tournies I play, and I think there must be a leak in my game here. I rarely get the mincash, with a lot of my wins being bigger, which keeps me +roi at small stakes, but I go out close to the bubble far too much. What can I do to improve my play? I generally play a fairly loose game, but when I get very close to the bubble with a shorter stack I often shut down a lot, especially against fishy opponents who will call my shoves a lot. Sometimes I almost go down to zero in order to limp past the bubble, and I'm wondering if this is a mistake. Should I be attacking medium sized stacks with shoves more before I run down to zero, at what stage should I start to adapt my play for the bubble, and how willing should I be to call shoves on the bubble with a very short stack? Any help? 😤
