Here’s the thing. you sound like a fairly new player, what you are doing is trying to see too many hands with the blinds that big. You see when you are that deep into the tournament you cannot see many flops. What you want to be doing is if you decide to play a hand in that stage of the tournament you should be raising big preflop. That is why your chips seems to dwindle, tournament poker is all about variation in your game, such as when people are on the bubble of the money and you are buying pots, as soon as you get in the money you have to change gears because you wont be able to buy a pot as easily.
When you are watching the WSOP and WPT on TV that is not usually how poker players play, those are just highlight hands. Next time you are at a late stage in the tournament in the money with huge blinds, try to see less flops but you have to manage to steal the blinds. Wait for good hands or if you have position on the person try to steal the blinds. At the later stages you can give a nice 4x bb raise with almost anything and take the blinds down.
I guess the point im trying to get across is there is a big difference in being loose and being aggressive. The problem with most new players is they are overly loose and overly aggressive and are too afraid to give up a hand. If you know you are beat you should fold the hand. I see WAY TOO MANY players continue to bet when it is obvious the opponent is not going to fold.
just chill man….you are zero for 16 in tournaments…..helmuth is like 12 for 265,000 not much better. statically about the same but you overall have lost far less money.
Judas, Je bent heel dicht bij het afspelen van de zeepbel. Een geweldige (maar ook gevaarlijk) strategie die u zult krijgen, in vaste vorm voor de grote run. Probleem is, kunt u het afspelen van de slechtst mogelijke strategie voor de periode daarna. Zodra je in, je naartoe gaat los / passief. Dat is zeker een recept voor een vervroegde uittreding. Als de rolluiken zijn zo groot is, ze zijn allemaal de moeite waard te winnen door zich. Dat betekent agressief spelen. Ofwel losse agressief, als dat uw persoonlijke stijl, strak of agressief als je kunt. Tight agressief zou beter zijn, want u bent het spelen van agressieve los te krijgen met het geld, en nu, enkele players'll wilt krijgen wraak.
You played great on the bubble but once the bubble bursts, you need to take advantage of the image that you have built (loose, raising lots of hands) and tighten up. Then when you raise with a good hand (ie split kings in stud or AAK2 in O8) you will get alot of action. With the blinds/antes big, you want to play tight and come in for a raise when you do decide to play a hand. Limping in gives the other player control of the action and you can only win by having the best hand, not by pushing someone out of a pot.
immediately after the bubble, you need to shift back to your regular gear and play the way you did at the beginning of the tournament…this is because of offsetting factors that lead into it…as you said, the blinds and/or antes take an increased toll on your stack, but at the same time your opponents, especially those on short stacks, will be trying to double up now that they’ve guaranteed themselves a payday…so i think the most effective strategy would be to play the way you did to start out, waiting patiently and not getting overaggressive, but at the same time taking into account that your opponents might be a little more aggressive than usual
