Re: (razz) tourney questions
Yeah, I'm thinking it might actually be worth dumping hands that have an 8 up, and waiting for hands that APPEAR better. The lower your stack gets, the more you have to gain by stealing. When your hand is decent, like a 3 card 8, you are definitely going to get played back at by hands that are of similar strength that might fold if you were showing an A, 2, 3, 4 or 5. (That is, a big stack should probably call you with AT2 if you're showing an 8, but might not want to if you're showing a 2)
The hand that knocked me out of the satellite... I have gone back and forth on it all day. I was in bad shape because it was 4 handed with 4 people who appeared to have quite good hands, and even if they have hands only as good as mine I will lose 3/4 times. But, when I win, I will quadruple-up and be in pretty good shape to cash. Wheras doubling up from 2bb just puts me in a slightly less tenuous position.
I think I have a tendency to THINK that I need to gamble in spots when I probably don't.
