but in these types of tournaments, I find it rather difficult to get away from AJ when I'm sitting with my starting amount and I see that others already have 10-20 times that amount, which, I guess, is another subject. How the hell is it that within 2-3 hands of one of these tournaments someone, on another table, has a chip stack of 15-20K? This would seem to me that the player is going all in several times, and getting called by the whole table, which loses to him. This happens everytime, it seems, and it makes me have paranoid thoughts of cheating.

I am by no means an expert of MTT, but especially in freerolls, you do see people push with any 2 paint to build that massive stack you see. 9 times out of 10 they are not at the final table. Perhaps they look to win big early and then sit out their way into the money. Remember they have nothing invested so might as well push that KQo and see what happens.
What you are doing wrong I think is looking at those results. The only thing you can worry about is your table, nothing else. Don’t even look. Try to win your table and you get to the final. Average chip stack would be my only measure and you were right there. NO need to go broke with TPTK, especially OOP. People love 10, J remember and that is what I would put villain on here without reads. Which by the way you said you did not have reads but in one response you mention something about his “style”. If you have no reads, play assuming he knows what he is doing until proven otherwise as someone said already.

Johnny: Thanks for the critique. It helped tremendously to not worry about who has the damn chip lead. I just hit my STATS tab and worried about nothing but my current table. Thanks so much, a much needed ego check.
