Hey CCs,
I seem to have one big problem during online MTTs, and I am not sure if this is something that most others come across as well.
I believe to be excellent at building a stack, and often times after the early levels, I'll find myself in a Top 5 position. My problem arises once I have a chip lead on a certain table, or at least, have one of the largest chip stacks. My question is: how do you play with a larger chip stack, and continue it's size w/out becoming to aggressive and donking off your chips? I find it difficult to play more aggressive as a chip leader because many people call shove me w/ ridiculous ranges and floaters either get there, or I just find myself in Tiltland after losing multiple big pots.
I consider myself a tight player, and I feel for the most part I make the right calls mathematically and instinctually UNTIL I have a fat stack. What're your guys' strategies? Would you recommend playing even tighter, or waiting until the stacks even out THEN continue tight-aggro play?
Thanks in advance!
