Seem to do very well after I hit 4k.

Hi.

I know that to be a good multi-table tourney plr you need to be aggressive. Let's say you only go in with monsters, but that way you'll never be consistant. Anyway, I always manage to showdown ppl enough to get to at least 4k respectively.

After that, I screw up.

Don't get me wrong, I've won a couple large tourneys (I think I placed 75th for a 9k plr tourney) but whenever I get past that average stack (3-5k) I get SUPER aggressive----like stupidly aggressive.

Today:

Ex1: Had j-9 and achieved top pair. Villain calls with a-4 hoping to catch a 5---he does. Goes all-in, and I call.

Ex2: Had q-j and achieved top pair. Villain raises all-in, I call---he shows pocket aces.

Ex3: Knew villain was going for flush draw. Raised him all-in with air and he calls. Next hand, I get pocket deuces and raise all-in...

Stuff like that. Am I scared of being a mediocre plr or something???

P.S. Needless to say, if I woulda held for the bubble I woulda walked away with some cash.

P.S.S. The title should read: "Seem to play very well untill I hit 4k."

the more tables there are the more money to be made love playing games with alot of people but you have to watch out for the donks

OK, that makes more sense now, reading your thread, I was thinking... not the right title for this thread...

some time the luck factor gets u... the pros.. only win in a few out of a 100 so keep trying

Seems like you should maybe slow down a little bit when you reach this stage in tourney

For me its nearly the same, but other way round. I am playing to tight then.

Another forum told me to count my big blinds... I'm in a freeroll tourney right now and I'm back to 3k is I have about 90 BBs. I'm going to wait untill the blinds get bigger b4 I start to shove.

They are right. You say you do well until 4k but that doesn't really mean anything. Depending on where the blinds are at, 4k can be less than 10 big blinds, right? The sample hand you posted where you called down with top pair of Jacks against a straight- obviously that's a marginal call, but if the guy was super short stacked, for example, the call would be correct.

huh?

You should probably slow down and especially in freerolls maintain being tight until you reach a point of near 15 bb's then you can be a little wider with your shoving range but if you think you're getting anyone off a flush draw in a free roll think again

when you get to your 4k number, slow down play cat1 hands, be selective, and study what the other players are showing up with

Great advice!! Thanks, I never thought about it that way... I was in a recent freeroll and I shoved 10k to a 17k stack with jj (flop = 10-5-7) and an AK called geting the bastard on the turn. Never again in a freeroll...

cat1 hands???

lol, sure seems that way sometimes...

alot of players need an initial double before they feel comfortable, thats why I enjoy double stack tournaments
