I usually play MTT, especially freerolls to try and build a bankroll. I’ve done ok with one 2nd place out of 2500 and many other low cashes. So I’ve played some $1STT 9 handed when I don’t have time for a MTT. So far I’ve played 9 tournaments (yes low sample size but got to start somewhere) and I’ve place 4th 7 times (top 3 pay). What am I doing wrong?
Most tines I’ve gotten to 4 players in 2 or 3 place. Usually there is a short stack with less than 10 blinds. Not sure if I’m playing to tight hoping the short stack will bust. He will end up doubling up through another player and then the blinds whittle me down. When I do make a move (and I’ve played tight) I get called by someone with a weak hand and get outdrawn.
Should I be bullying the short stack more (eg raising him and hoping he folds). It’s getting frustrating that I can’t break through. Thanks.
