So I am still fairly new to tournament poker. I play both online and live. I prefer live but do not get to play as often as I would like.
Most often I play Sit and Go, 2-3 tables. I have done larger MTT also. I almost always make the final table in SNG. I almost never get in the money. I usually am out between 6th and 9th.
The last couple of tournaments I went out with around 10 BB later in tournament. All in, 60% advantage, losing the coin flip.
My question is how to increase my percentage of getting "in the money". Should I focus on going big or bust early to raise my stack size aggressively to make sure I don't get in these situations? Or should I play well short stacked later and just hope the coin flips go my way? Very frustrating when I play fairly well for 4-5 hours and get nothing for it.
