I found myself quickly going from top 3 to bottom 3 at the Final Table by playing what I feel in hindsight was too passively, passing on a couple opportunities to get my stack involved where I likely should have... and where I likely would have had I been a shorty or a biggie.RaisingCaynehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/14827163499901916297noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-31764027.post-26552066808903546702008-05-21T12:45:00.000-04:002008-05-21T12:45:00.000-04:00Hey Cem - I've had the same problem - usually in f...Hey Cem - <BR/><BR/>I've had the same problem - usually in freerolls where I've been cautious in a large call-anything kind of field and haven't built myself a big stack.<BR/><BR/>I think that you have to take the risks and open push whenever you get a chance - if you run into a monster so be it. Big stacks likely won't want to double you, and small-medium stacks may be hoping to squeak in to a money spot. You know that if you simply fold, the blinds are definitely going to take your chips away. You have to get lucky to get dealt a big starting hand. You might as well make your own luck and start picking up blinds and antes when you can.<BR/><BR/>Thanks for entering my poker academy giveaway contest at my site!
