I sympathize; like you, I'm a tight player, I have the patience to wait for cards, and mid-tournament, if I'm in a hand, I'm usually ahead.  I stay away from the easily dominated overcard hands, weak aces and the baby pairs, so in most hands, [I]I'm[/I] not going to be the one sucking out.  [I]That's a good thing, right?[/I]  But what you and I have found is that, even at 4:1, if you play enough of those hands, probability catches up with you. I think the solution is to make sure that when it does, you don't lose your entire stack.

There are some good threads here about controlling pot size.  Read them!  You can make nice progress building a stack without jamming the pot every time you see KK.  In fact, you may make [I]more[/I] by sizing your bets more appropriately to encourage action from weaker hands.  The added value of this small-ball approach is that you'll be able to see when those four diamonds or running straight cards hit the board and get away from the hand, saving some of those chips for your [I]next[/I] 4:1 monster.
