As a new player in poker i find my self preaty good,for a past not more then a 2 months i started to play poker,i played more then a 100 free rolls and get part of the prize in around 15-20 tourneaments,tho on poker stars i find it rly hard to get in more then a 300th place,i kinda lose it in middle part of tournaments, even tho im high stacks at most of the starting tournaments ended up as short stack at middle and late part of the tournaments,its not that i dont bluff,but many times opponents read my bluff,even tho im not totaly lose player,i made some balance between lose and tight so no one be sure when im bluffing and when i dont,but many times i get called with lets say middle par player on A high flush pot... Any tips??? Btw sry for my bad eng.:trytofly:

Maybe try not bluffing at all for a little while... work on your semi-bluffing preferably integrated with blocker betting for pot control and sizing when you have respectable draw or low pairs with strong backdoor proclivities.
Better to play too tight than too loose and a bad fold is better than a bad call.
Good luck and keep up the grind, read material and remember poker is situational so allowing experience to help you develop is crucial.

It sounds like as with many players who play MTT's and struggle, their middle/late game needs some work.

Easy stages is easy for obvious reason, there are more fish, stacks are deeper so we can play tighter and of course exploit the bad players and build a stack. The deeper we get in tournaments, apart from the few bad players who manage to run good, cooler people build stacks etc the field will have the better players remaining.

The middle and late stages when antes come in play means for playing a lot looser by stealing and re stealing and not being afraid to go broke. I personally find the middle/late stages of the tournaments best because people don't know how to play the shorter stacks and are afraid of busting and wanting to ladder up a few more places.

I recommend working on your late game, steal a lot more and just never be afraid to go broke. Post some hands of your middle/late stages.

i got experience with freerolls on pokerstars so i know how you feel my best advice will be to be patient and wait for your cards! and try bluffing only when you are in position and only 1-2 opponents, maybe even don't bluff.

You shouldnt be bluffing so often. the worst way to lose your stack is with bluffing. Especially try not to bluff lags or nits when they have invested big chunk of their stacks.

Play tight early in the early phase of a tournament,

but loosen up in the middle phase and try to steal them blind

using your position against weaker player.

The advice here is generally good, Work on the middle game, you want to be making your big stack work for you. Aim to win, not aim for second third or 100th place.

I believe that the game requires high concentration of attention sings need to focus on the game and play more hands raise strong hands and fold junk hands
