Re: Advice on loosening up in mtt\'s
[ QUOTE ]
I consider myself pretty tight as well... But when blinds are getting worth stealing, I usually get more aggressive LP and also making some moves on SB etc... This works for me, like first 2-3 blinds levels I'm playing very tight solid looking for good spots to double up against donks, also raising LP with no/few limpers in front, sometimes calling sc with many limpers...
Usually I loosen up a bit while the blinds go up, when I don't get the cards, dunno whether that's good or bad, but it seems to work for me atm...
Just try to observe your stack in relation to blinds in relation to general stack sizes / table stack sizes and see if you can make some blindstealing if you get a little below average... Blindstealing / c-betting flops, maybe you do that a little too seldom, dunno...

I do the same, get more aggressive as the blinds go up. Actually I feel like I'm very good late in the tournament as long as I have enough chips to allow me to c-bet and make moves. That's the problem for me tho, if I don't get dealt anything early in the tourney I just fold thinking I have plenty of time and next thing I know my stack is too small to compete with more gambling style players. Most of the players I play these tourneys with are not the best of quality and will call with no hand/no draw alot of times for the hell of it. I guess I get scared off thinking that my moves won't work when those guys are in the pot with me.
