    I need advice if you wouldnt mind

    Nov 15, 2008 6:21 am Report Abuse

    Three times today I have entered big field MTTs and done well. getting into the money on them.

    The problem I seem to be having is going from just getting into the money to getting to the final table.

    Everytime it gets to the bubble I am around the 100th place mark, with 5-6 hundred left in. I have a nice stack but once the field starts dwindling down to maybe 300 then I start hitting problems. Thats when the cards seem to desert me, and where I was winning hands I am getting turned over or being bluffed off the pots when actually I am ahead.

    So far today my finishes have been

    239th out of 4000 bubble at 650

    310th out of 4500 bubble at 700

    199th out of 3400 bubble at 600

    In each one I've been well up there at the point of passing the bubble, but then it goes awry. What am I doing wrong ?

    And I am in another one now 10th place with 1100 to go...

    I can bet your bottom dollar I will get into the money then go tits up

    forget bout the tits, they'll burst after the bubble, focus on da money instead...
    SiresnMe Nov 15, 2008 6:59 am
    but tits are cool too!

    Could you maybe be tightening up because the blinds are getting bigger.

    I don't know what you are doing, but I know were I go wrong. I lose my patience and make a mistake. Let's be honest it's not that hard to make it to the money in these big fields. You have to be patient and just make good decisions. however, when we crack the bubble we have usually been playing 2-3 hours. And, it is at this point that we lose some of the patience and judgement that got us this far. You are doing well, just keep it up and stay fresh. Best of luck.

    jup, better loosin up when the tits get bigger...

    Possibly I do tighten up a bit, but I've tried playing looser and i found myself dropping even quicker lol...

    I just cant seem to take that final step..

    Like a cricketer..concentrates until reaching the '100', then relaxes and gets out. Need something to remind you that there is still more too achieve.

    after making the money it is time to shift dears many people start bluffing more trying to build bigger stacks.me i play negreanus small ball system play your position an play it aggressively. if you go to you tube and search negreanu it has 3 or 4 videos on how to play this style. try it it works good luck. mechanic
