I seem to do pretty ok at low buy in MTT at PS.

I like the 40k and 60k GT at 3$+ and the 12,5k GT at 2,75$, these tourneys have fields of 4000 ppl or more and lately, I managed 11th, 43th and 66th place.

 

Now, I play fairly tight until the bubble, sometimes I steal some blinds too and I normmaly build up a nice stack.

After I watched the BIGDOG vids, and I learnt that he steals quite a lot and ALWAYS c-bets, I think I have been doing the same with success.

 

The problem:

Yesterday I had 350k chips and I was 11th of 45 in a field of 3700 coolll. I just think I make big mistake always at this stage of the tourney. I just steal and steal and steal and ups lost 100k and steal ups lost another 100k, ups im short…coin flip …I was out in 43th….nice job lolol.

I dont know if maybe after 8 hours of playing im too tired andI cannot think clearly anymore, or maybe stealing blinds tilts me and then I cant fold marginal hands on the flop…turn….I just dont know.

Maybe at this stage of the tourney, it is just better to tight up and call all ins from the short stacks with decent hands…get less involved…

Any comments…

 

PS- I would like to see a vid if posible at low buy in like 11$ deep stack at FTP from one of you guys, and see what strategy its good at these lvls. From my lilttle experience at poker, Id would say that 4bet bluff its tottaly horrible as these guys only 3bet AA and KK. And 3bet light its possibly bad too.

Also, at beginnng of a torney starting with 1500 chips, I 3bet quite a lot with decent hands like JJ+ AK and possible play for the stack, at 3000 chips tourney Im more likely to 3bet only AA and KK and flat JJ, QQ, AK. I see that BIG DOG 3bets a lot right from the beginning, regardless if its a 1500 chips or 3000 chips. Dunno if this make any sense?? Any comments…What stragety would be more profitable???

Just from reading your account of last night it sounds like you aren’t adjusting for your image.  If you are stealing stealing stealing people are going to notice this and play back at you.  Might be better to tighten up for an orbit or two after having to fold or showdown a bad hand.

really? I think YOUR strategy sounds pretty perfect as far as 3bets early depending on how deep you are. it’s all relative though, i mean its perfectly fine to threebet your JJ vs. and aggro late position raiser with deep stacks as well. but many of us prefer to keep pots small with marginal hands in position (yes imo JJ is pretty marginal 150bb deep)
