So I have been playing nothing but tournaments and freerolls since I started poker. I play tight and aggressive poker and today I noticed a few things that I'm not sure if it's good or bad. My stack never really goes anywhere it stays about the same throughout the tournament. I would give you a number but it really depends. I will give you an example though. Today I played a 7-hour tournament my stack stayed around 50k to 60k the entire tournament. I felt very comfortable at that amount of chips and the people around me had around 100k to 200k. The table knew that when I raised pre-flop I had something good they either folded or treaded very lightly. This allowed me to bluff a few times didn't bluff a lot because I didn't want anyone catching on. However, my chips did slowly increase on the backend of the tournament. Whatever I'm doing is working because I have made the final table 3 days in a row.
So my questions are these.
1.) How to know when you're playing too tight?
2.) Is it important to get the most chips or just maintain chips?
3.) When you get good hole cards and on the flop, nothing falls your way is that a good sign to fold?
4.) I looked at a range sheet and saw the best hands you can play. Could I drop some of those hands that are on the lower end?
I know four may sound a stupid question but I want the best opportunity to win hands and the game. I never have good luck with the lower cards and end up losing chips because they got beat.
