End Game
Hey all, new here! (Though I've been peeking in and out for a little while)
I've been playing online for just about 1.5 years. My strongest game is limit holdem, I started out with $2.5 tourneys (10 seats) and now I'm doing $5 ones, at pacific poker.
Anyway, I almost always get to the top 4, which is (IMO) when the game dynamics totally change. At this point, the blinds are pretty high and one can easily lose half their stash on any given ordinary hand. This is the weakest part of my game, and I was wondering if there's any general guidelines by which you guys usually play it. I'm generally a very conservative player, which (for me) works wonders up until this point in the game. Are there any well-known write-ups on this? What are your big Do's and Dont's? Do you start to play weaker hands to avoid getting swiped by the blinds?
I've only been taking poker as a hobby, and I've only made about $350 so far since I started. I think, though, that mastering my end game would be key in bumping up my profits.
Anyway, I would love to hear some comments about this. Thanks!
