Hi all,
Two final tables in two days sounds like I'm doing good but I'm not. On both occasions I left very early and missing out on the payouts that attracted me to enter in the first place.
I play $1 - $10 MTT and if I keep it ABC, I'm usually short stacked and in push/fold mode. If I'm decently stacked and I try to use my leverage I get weakened when short stacks shove (either because I fold or am forced to call and lose) or get busted by another big stack.
In both games, players would sit out, leaving others to thin the field, before returning to the game after several pay jumps (with the added benefit of getting to the business end by shoving and doubling up).
I have just posted my last hand from my final table last night: https://tinyurl.com/yd2nhu3x
TL; DR: I have no idea what strategy to take. Conventional wisdom says hanging on fro dear life may get you in the money/a seat at the FT but rarely with a chance to get deep, whilst using leverage and not being afraid to lose your tourney life is best but I'm not so sure.
Thanks in advance.
