Message: [QUOTE="Goldog, post: 1431968, member: 8446"] There really is an art to playing a small stack tho. Anyone can sometimes find themselves short stacked. Picking which particular spots when you are down (but not out) is literally life or death for the tourney. Sometimes you know it's ATC. you are so low there is no other choice. But when you have even a few blinds left picking the best spot on a given round can make or break your big comeback. I won't usually push a random Q3os or even Ace rag all the time unless there is some overriding reason to "[I]know[/I]" everyone will fold. Sometimes you do know they're only playing hands they absolutely have to. On the bubble for instance. Than any two cards may be your range. Being 1st in the pot is important unless you have a real hand. You don't want to follow someone into the pot with A6os or QT unless you are desperate. Most of the time I hold out for some kind of hand where the cards are related. Suited and or connectors and of course any pair foot the bill. And you don't usually want to limp or call any raise without going allin. I even tighten up on calling the SB to preserve chips for the push. Anytime you are first to act strongly consider whether going all in is the correct move. If you are playing within your BR you shouldn't worry about missing the money cutoff. Play with the intent of moving up to the bigger money deeper in. If you are in a $10 and $12.50 matters to you drop down to $5 or even $3 you are playing too high. At that level you should be insulted to get a dollar profit for your troubles. In a MTT I'm shooting for at least 10X the buy-in or it's been a waste of time. [/QUOTE]
