HI
Not sure if I will be able to explain this right but will give it a go!
I have been studying my game and have noticed that I manage to build up a healthy stack fairly early on playing mainly ABC poker with the odd move etc. I never go mental - no one ever wins a MTT in level 1 but you sure can loose it
So here is my poker journey in a £750 BH after a solid start
13k iin chips, Blinds 100/200, av stack 8k - was in top 3
13k at 150/300 av stack 8.5k - still top 3 17 left and 10 paid
16k at 200/400 av 9.3k 15 left
13k at 300/600 av 12k 11 left
Then lost a flip - I called a shorty stack (4k) with 55 - should I have folded as was for 30% of stack?
down to 8k, M of under 9 - shoved with AJ snapped by 1010 and lost the flip
I found once i got a bigger stack and the blinds were creeping up - I started to tighten up?? So i would open wideish (up to A10 and all PP up to 99 and some suited connectors) But found I was folding to a lot of shoves off stacks around 10/11 and 12BB and havig to fold.
So my question is - Late stages when the blinds are catching up and you go form 40BB to 30BB just because of blind changes per level shoul I open more and call less shoves or open less and be te one shoving more instead?
Hopefully this makes some sense??
I finished 8th in this one -cant help but think calling too light is the downfall and bleeding chips when medium stack go hard and shove wide.
Thanks all
