First, this is play chips but before you start talking bad about playchips just wait for a second, In tournaments (500 -600 players) with decent buy in the play is a lot better than you would think it would be for tournaments when you reach far into the blinds.
okay, when I play tournaments I reach the cash then I bust with maybe double my buy in. that sucks, hours of play then I get a measly double my buy in and considering I actually am using bankroll management its not worth it, imagine a tournament with a 10k PC buy in and I cash to get 20k, its good and all because its better than losing but still 20k when you have a million PC means very little
The only good thing is that every once in like 20 times I go cash I will go far and hit that final table and just crush it (honestly, this because of play chips, most people who reach the final table are just one time hot streakers and do not know any final table strategy)
Anyway, back to the problem. I can't reach the final table that much and that due to my strategy (its the best I have at the time)
my strategy when I cash is to try to take as many chips as possible and take more risks.
My reasons why I do this:
I legitimately feel that if I am the huge stack when the there is 10% of the field is left then 80% of the time I can make the final table and and in every final table there is a 50% chance of me getting to the top 3 (mainly because the final tables are soft)
That means that I have a very good chance of taking a position where the most money is made.
thats great and all but 19 of 20 times I just double my buy in, (thats assuming that I have cashed and I don't cash every tournament I play)
is the strategy working? Yes it is.
Is the strategy working well? NO
I need something that can get me to final table more, since thats when I fill I have the best edge over my opponents but I also need a better than average stack when I get there.
any advice? or anything you do different or do you have a completely different strategy that works well? (you don't have to be specific you can just give me a broad idea)
anyway, its late and I will be in be going to sleep so I will try to respond by tomorrow
