Hi all,
I've been playing microstakes cash games (max 0.05/0.10) for little over a month now on and off. Had a dabble in MTT but never took them seriously, and realised turbos and hyper turbos are awful. Had a bad run in cash games this week so thought I'd try take MTTs a bit more seriously (deepstack only). I've played around 9 tournaments now, max buy in £10. Hit the bubble 3 times and today I made the final table, finishing in third. Variance got me, as I lost an all vs the shortest stack when I held A9o and he had A3o. Typical a 3 came on the board.
My question is actually based on final table play. I played super aggressive because it was clear everybody was playing overly tight. I was being very successful stealing blinds. Even when we got to final 3, the chip lead must have had a VPIP of like 10 as I knew he had such a lead he just wanted to get to heads up play. In the end, this aggression cost me with my A9o loss. Do you guys normally tighten up on final table?
Thanks
