I played the Daily Dollar on FT today and felt I was playing optimally.
Down to 1k players and beginning of the payouts I had scraped together
25k in chips with the average being 19k or so.
Then for a long stretch I was card dead (45 mins), I lost a flip against a short stack(3k chips), and eventually i was down to 8k with blinds 1.6k.
Doubled to 20k min-raising KJ(hearts), BB called with 10 8, flop K 8 4, and I went all in after he min-bet, he called and my kings held.
then I had AJ in late position and raised, then was called by large stack in BB.
flop was 10Q8, i c-bet, was afraid i was behind , he called, turn blank.
I went all-in, he called showed KJ (open ended straight draw)- to my relief.
River came ace and I lost.
-----------------------------------------------------------------------
I got to thinking: I do well but then blinds rise quick and if I don't get hands or makes moves I suffocate, and cant survive very well.
I wonder if I would have more success in Deep Stack games with 30 mins blinds opposed to 10.
Its frustrating playing 4 hours to outlast 95% of the field and win $3.50 because I don't get hands, and I'm inexperienced at winning chips other ways. Are deep stack games maybe the answer?
