Curtains-

I've asked this question on the noob thread as well but figured I'd ask it here too, (Devin basically led me in the right direction.)

I suck when I'm "ITM"...i just don't feel comfortable playing in that phase of a tournament.. Preflop,Bubble time,..and even post-flop (I play a little cash too)..all fine..Once i get in the money; clueless..or just awkward..not nearly as confident about what decisions to make.

Anyway,..how would you go about improving your ITM (3-handed play)??..assuming your problem was a lot of 3rd place finishes..Was there something you read?..Did you practice playing HU?..

Also, although i do come in shortstacked often when ITM..not enough to account for the # of 3rd place finishes..I'm pretty sure i suck at HU. (sngpt HU tutorial..I'm looking into it)..

Nevertheless, I figured I'd ask you because you posted your finish distribution and had a nice ratio of 1/2/3 place finishes..that's all. Thanks for any help.



Also what countries have you been to? ..besides Iceland.

Hey, honestly there is no real way to answer this question quickly. I have never actually felt like I had a specific problem at any phase of the game. Basically they are all a little bit different but general sit and go, poker and math principles still apply. I don't understand why some people have such difficulty playing ITM, on the bubble, in the middle stages etc etc.

So basically I'm of no help [img]/images/graemlins/smile.gif[/img]


In regards to your second question I've also been to Brazil, Spain, England and the Netherlands.

Cool. [img]/images/graemlins/smile.gif[/img] I didn't know that.

Why did you come here? What places did you visit? Did you like it?

Was there when I was about 16/17. I went to a little town named Guara Puava as it was hosting a big chess tournament. Was probably the best 2 weeks of my teenage years [img]/images/graemlins/smile.gif[/img]

It was near Curitiba if that makes any sense?

On the way home I spent one night in Sao Paulo but only because there was a delay with the flight.
