Think I need to get the happy medium between maintaining aggression and not spewing – more tweaking needed me thinks.

Possibly make a note of the playing style you need to adopt through out different periods of a tournament. Its like driving a car around a race track. There are periods where you need to accelerate, brake and take risks etc.

Make a plan for how you think you will need to play at each stage of the tournament and also the possible stack sizes you may have, then look back and see how you have been playing in these situations compared to your new checklist.

Good Luck!

I have the same issue as buttmunch. I am getting deeper in the MTT's that I have been playing at a much better rate. The issue is right to the bubble and tend to tank too. Mentally, I can't seem to beat it. I am the same deal. One thing I started paying more attention is the stack size and not worry about the tournement life. I watched Danny's Turbo series and so I tend to just try and pay attention to the timeclock when blinds increase and really work hard at maintaining at least 20-25 BB and try to maintain it. Slowing down and not try to take the whole house but continue to be aggressive to my stack.

I hope that makes sense. I haven't figured it out. I ran deeper but still got sucked out today in all my sessions about 10 people before ITM. I was in 4 MTT's and it happened to me all 4 times. I mentally tank.

Good subject. Me too. Have progressed from getting deep to getting deep w a stack, then last week bubbling the tournament I play every morning 3 days in a row, then a min cash, then FTs 2 days in a row for 4th and then 3rd place. I am 5th of 52 in chips in it right now as a matter of fact (lol). Anyway struggling with weilding a big stack once I get it. I had a ridiculously huge stack/chip lead thru one entire tournament and somehow at the FT whittled my stack down to finish 7th. Sounds like we are all making progress to be discussing this tho 🙂 Thx & GL
