Re: MTT January mistakes: Post your 3 biggest ones.
Great thread,
#1.) Not being attentive enough to my table.. Though I'd probably be a nervous wreck playing a live tourney, I know with almost certainty that i'd be a better player for the fact that there is nothing else to do at the table other then pay attention.. I'm at my computer, playing a tourney, going upstairs to get something to eat, posting on 2+2, talking on msn, browsing sports scores, etc etc..
#2.) Not paying attention to ICM and pay levels at FT's.. I have that 'play to win' mentality.. but sometimes I make absurd moves to steal a blind while I should just be playing a little more cautiously until the shorties get knocked out .. twice I was at a final table with really short stacks and I still forced the action and got knocked out.. I could have probably made an extra 1K this month by being a lil more patient.
#3.) Playing tired. Right now I'm at school, and usually play when I get home.. i think playing tired or with other things on my mind really hinder on my game, i'm just not all there mentally/physically and my mind wanders. Should probably reserve tournaments for the weekend and off-days to endure the long sessions and feel fresher.
