Message: [QUOTE="dumpy620_84, post: 1206423, member: 25396"] Was playin last night and was following along with my stats. My outcome was good with an 8th place finish out of about 400 but I am not very consistent in getting that high. I find that I am involved in alot of big pots but I dont go to showdown very often. After about 175 hands in the tourney I had gone to showdown 8 times and had won 8 times. I had seen about 30% of the flops. I am normally pretty agressive early on willing to go broke on a marginal call if it gives me a chance to get alot of chips early since it makes my agressive play easier then with a short stack. If i am able to make it to 2nd break and I am average stack, I then look to only play the stronger hands but I always come in for big raises to minimize players. I prefer to make large bets and take pots early(unless I flop the nuts obviously) instead of trying to draw my opponent in and possibly take a huge payoff or possibly get sucked out on. I also try and steal alot of blinds, so that when I do get a big hand people think I am overly agressive and pay them off. I feel like I can laydown a good hand when I have alot of chips, but when I am shorter stacked I cant seem to think the same way. I know there are alot of successful players on this forum and I would love some feedback. I also am having a hard time getting my big hands paid off where i hold like 58 in a BB checked to me and the flop comes 88K. It seems no matter how I play it, the other person always folds. For example, I held J8 off last night late in my tourney. the flop came 8810. i checked and the other player in hand made a pot sized bet. I just called. turn came a J so I checked again figurin I had nuts and hopin they had AJ or 99. They checked also. The river came a 2 makin it a rainbow board or no flush draw and I checked again. The other played checked also and showed me QQ. Hind sight is 20/20 obviously and it looks like I coulda pushed hard and got paid off, but how is it possible for the qq to think they were beat the whole time when I only called the flop and no over cards ever came???
