Hardest part of the tournament
It is an interesting question. For me the hardest part of the tournament can change. The beginning, like so many others mentioned has so many crazy plays from people trying to double up their chips quickly. That takes a lot of patience to make it through. That middle, on the other hand, can become a little more difficult because of the beginning being so wild. You could be sitting with a relatively short stack in the middle stages because of the patience shown in the early stages. I would say once you get to the final table everything is balanced out so that becomes the easiest part of the tournament. You can make some plays here and there and the people are a little more relaxed and having fun.
