THE NUTS
25-04-2008, 02:54 AM
I've recently been playing several live tourneys and have done well. I made the final table in 4 of 6. Lately I've been getting near the money but not making it. I really feel that my TAG play is the way to go, but I need other's advice about how to loosen up when the blinds get big. I know I need to steal to stay ahead but I just can't bring myself to do it. Any advice. Also to contradict that statement is it totally necessary to loosen up. I'm just frustrated b/c I just came back from AC and practically bubbled two tourneys. I'm questioning my play because in both cases I had about the same amount of chips I started with after the third break (10,000) but in one tourney I then had 55,000 with blinds about 2k and 4 k with 300 ante. I lost a big pot with my 55 vs. A4 (aghhh) (to bad I didn't read the article in cp first about not calling with small pp's) and then in the second tourney I was playing tight and lost with AK vs. 99. Hope my ramblings made sense. Thanks
