    Many thanks Ben, will be going through the tournament again and there are certainly some very valid points raised. The iso against limpers is something I need to introduce more into my game.
    With regards to the continuation bet % I thought I had better check this, as I was very concerned. I split my results into MTT’s and the 27 STG’s to see if this was different as well. Pleased to say for MTT’s this was 75.3% and the 27s it was 71% Not sure why it was so low for this tourney, but I know on the final table I thought there were only 2 good players and one of them was the player to my left and I was certainly more worried when playing pots against him until we were heads up.
    Looks like I need to look into some of the other stats Ben mentioned, to ensure I pick up more chips is certain situations, so I will be going through Poker Tracker for this.

    One final point for some of the cautious play was the hand when I busted the 3rd player, who shoved Q10 os for 20bbs into my min raise with AJ. Luckily I got there on the river after he flopped a pair and turned 2 pair. You get a lot of players that do this in small stakes and although this tourney did not show me outplaying players like this post flop, I think this is somewhere where I have an edge. For this reason I prefer the small ball approach, but I know I am giving up and edge sometimes preflop for this – so looks like more work for me!
