Message: [QUOTE="finaltable1, post: 5123783, member: 187503"] You guys are discussing how you're playing the cards, some players are trying to play the players and read opponents through the monitor. Ok sometimes it works... maybe. but The real world is little bit different... it's not the best or worst pre-flop hand wins the money in MTT. It's not your reads/tells and it's not the luck or skill. All of these factors are donating a micro increase to the main factor = the time. It's quite obvious, but maybe it's impossible to understand for some.? Let's think of some example: The tourney lasts 7,5 hours. 4,5 hours till the money, 1.5 of 4,5 is late registration. 1 hour of remaining 3 is the final table. Let's say that 3 hours and 45 minutes have passed, and you know that 45 minutes later you'll be in the money. You've just lost a hand and have 6bb stack left, you get K5 or K2, what's your move? All-in? That's the stupidest thing to do. I'd rather be blinded out than showing with K5. And in my past experience I've won $700 in a $5 buy-in tourney after having less than 2bb stack before the bubble, and average stack was 40bb. Many times reached the final table climbing up from 5bb stack to the chiplead. Many times been sitting for 1,5-2 hours with no action at all, just fold-fold-fold and fold that AJ, those ugly cards, they're good enough for drunks or newbies.. Sitting an hour without making a move is a usual thing. Playing much more loose in the freerolls, but what I consider a loose gameplay is actually a tight play for some, playing JK and even showing with it if it's suited is a normal occasion for some.. You see - by waiting for premium hands you're shooting 2 rabbits with 1 shot, 1) you're waiting for others to lose and leave and 2) you're waiting for the hand that will give you best chances to win the pot, so when you're short stacked with premium hand then most likely someone will call your all-in pre with speculative or weak hand, and isn't it great to have 80 to 20 chances to win? Roulette is 53/47 and casino owners are multi-millionaires. And what? WE are discussing K5 and K2 here? That's sick. I have a good advice. If you're nervous or tilted and can't wait to play a hand, and this is the reason why you're playing trash cards often, then try to play 9 or 12 tables at the same time and just wait ONLY for the premium hands, they will be dealt at one of 12 tables every 2-5 minutes, so you won't have to wait too long to gamble.
