Hello brother, your question is very good.
I asked this question exactly 3 months ago to a Cardschat poker pro.
This is a problem that we all have. We had 2 or 3 very good hands at the beginning of the MTT and we are in the first positions and then we are falling.
I think the possible solution to this is not to take advantage of others because your stack is the biggest, but to try to play some medium hands and read the game well. I think that's the base of the game.
I think you should be aggressive with your strong hands, and show some aggressiveness in some positions with weaker or medium hands.
Sometimes play BB hands that in general you would not play (for example, a 43s or 810s or things like that) and read the game well.
I also think that a good strategy is to see what opponents you have at the table, players who call all hands, players who limp, others who are very tight, etc.
But what you have to do is try to apply a strategy so as not to be stagnant and fall from position 1 to position 150 in 1 hour.
It's not good to despair either. In general, when I play MTT I try not to focus on the position of the tournament that I have, but I try to focus on my table and on the game of my opponents and myself. Because there is something that happened to me a long time ago when this thing of being very well placed in a tournament happened to me, I stopped caring about certain hands such as AJo A10 or KJo 66 55 etc. and folded. Now this has long since started to vary in my game, and I have realized that being in important positions, when you follow a solid strategy, you have to play medium or medium-high hands, because they can give you many benefits even against premium hands like It could be a QQ AKs or others.
Within this strategy, the basic and fundamental option is knowing how to fold when you have to. Another mistake of those who are Deep Stack is that they begin to pay how much hand they see and how much hick pair they fell on the flop or showdown, and they begin to lose the analysis of the game.
Suppose this example, you open from x position with an A4s and your opponent pays, at the showdown your Ace appears and the opponent at a certain moment overbet you and the first thing you say is... how am I not going to pay with my As high??? My opponent doesn't want to play against me with my stack!!! and things like that, and what you don't understand is that if your opponent has a strong hand against the player at the table who wants to play in particular, it's against you, because otherwise... who is he going to get chips from????
I think that a fundamental base is to use logic.
My humble opinion, greetings brother
