    Default ughghghhh SELF DESTRUCT MODE!!

    So the tourny pays 108 places and after I donked half of my stack the previous hand with the SAME HAND A 7 SPADES FUCK!!!!!!!!!!!!! I donk out of this one in 109 place. I play so well until it gets close to the money then all of the sudden I think anyone who raises is stealing so I repop at will and the result is always the same. I have an easy time getting to the money but can't seem to adjust to the middle and lates stages. any thoughts or tips on what seems to be the right way to play these big tournys. I seem to do the oppisite of the typical. I dont tighten up I start to get aggresive and it just never works. The dude who called had AA

    Nice hand


    fwiw it just sounds like you need more practice. you have the right ideas, you just need to get a better feel for when to pull the trigger. this comes with time.

    given the blinds in relation to your stack, this isnt exactly a bad play at all.

    id open shove this in your position. you get called off by a wider range because of your stack size, and you always need to gamble in mtts.
    AsuitedKing: justify the call
    EhRa: he hits his set und waited that i hitz something and he dindt play he only goes allin
    EhRa: tahts a big donk ... so ****
