Tourney strategy needs to always include an all important rule number one. That is if you'd like to win or place in it. Don't let any donk take you all in that might get lucky, and the result is you lose your chip stack. You have to learn to fold "pretty" cards.

Yes he probably did not make the right play but is that the worst you have seen...

Well put, but if you wait for "even more pretty cards than these" when short stacked, well, you are not likely to make it. He obviously liked his 10-10 better than his ace-x, but it still didn't help. My thinking is/was if you fold an ace when so short and the big blind (who has way more chips) can afford to put you all in with a larger range of hands, he could well be doing it with a hand ace-rag is very good against, perhaps even if you only survive with having the high card by the river. It's all a risk anyway, just thinking of best time to pick your spot when you are soooooo short.

I think that most tourneys have similar points of interest. You could write an essay about a single hand just about any day you play.

People tend to play too passively near the bubble. That another consideration.

As for having "wayyy to much time on my hands" i like to write this stuff out, It really helps me remember and learn. A little wordy, but I'm new and the analysis can only help. As Poker is my only hobby, I could care less about the "point and shoot" for the 5 points. I'm here tp learn, Baby!
