I am currently 73 hands into a tournament. I have been dealt two pocket pairs that were no good. AQos one time that never paired and was no good. I have won 1 small pot in 73 hands.

Now I am at M=5 and still can't get a face card even. Oh well... hopefully things will even out and I will catch some hot hands in another tourn down the line.

We are currently at double the money bubble, ofc I am low man for the entire tourn... but if I can just triple up I can cash... just need 1 good hand.

I abuse time before the hand 2 hand... maybe 5% total entrants from bubble. With antes every hand less my table plays is more chips in my stack

so is hand by hand now how MTT's and SNG's are timed on all sites or is it just at the final table?

Yes, hand to hand starts one player to money, and one player to the final table. Most sites turn off chat during Hand to Hand.

So the key is to abust time leading up to it. Every hand you play as a short stack is antes you don't have.
