This question is in regards to mtts, I want to get better (don't we all?), because of this reason I've actually changed my game plan up dramatically, and by this I mean I wont play a hand, under AJ suited, in early postion, and in middle postion I only play, sc's, mid pairs, and above average starting hands, now the problem is that, A), I usually end up losing on my first or 2nd or 3rd hand that I play in, when I finally decide to play, just earlier today, I think I folded, until I really woke up with a real hand in that game, and then when I finally woke up with a real hand, it was my last hand. Now my question is was there a way I could've kept the other player from going all in? I know it's dumb, but it's been bugging me for sometime now. Just take look

Now it's not the fact that I lost that's the piss off, it's the fact that I didn't even have a choice, as to weather we see a cheap flop or not, and I know I could've let it go once the ace came up, I play my big hands big but this is the problem that arises with them, So my question to all is, is there anything that I really did wrong, I mean, these were my stats for that game btw, The only hands that I played in were my blinds, am I being to damn tight in these mtts, should I just loosen up, and you play everypot so when and If I do happen to lose a big pot like this I would have enough chips to still be in the game, or should I just keep at this type of game?
