I have been looking at my history in playing tours
I consistantly get to the point where 90% of the field are out, but ALWAYS go out soon after, I DO NOT play with a make the bubble mentality. I play to win.
most often I make it to the point in the money where im making 4x my buy in.
never seem to make it really pay off tho. I keep notes for every tour and all my cash game sessions.
from my notes I took these examples
in the last week:
Buy in 11.00
field size 1200+
Finish 99th
out hand AA<KK
buy in 3.30
field size 5200+
finish 104th
out hand AK<K4
buy in 2.20
field size 6000+
finish 100
out hand AKs<AKd
buy in 5.50
field size 360
finish 15th
out hand AA<52
Now, I know Im not posting hand histories here, but I notice a pattern here in regard to the depth of the tours where I seem to go out. I generally play tight, untill I have a reputation established, then i open up the game when position and table behavior allow it
All of the above hands were Pre Flop all in hands as by this pont in the tours blinds and Antes were very high, and i was looking to stack up for a run at the final table.
wondering if perhaps Im playing too tight AND too hard late?
mebbe I should be limping or 2-2.5xing pre? and looking to play them off their hands post flop?
I am looking at the hand converter At this moment, as i have never used one once i learn how to use it i will begin posting in the hand alalysis section for MTTs
any and all input, welcome AND appreciated.
