Message: [QUOTE="rfdouggie, post: 943740, member: 35618"] After spending 5 hrs and getting in A position to make the final table. What is the attribute most needed. For me "patience". Others in a attempt to goad you into A play will try to use the chat to antagonize and bait you. sitting patiently waiting on the better hands, even at the higher blind structure is crucial to finishing strong. The better drawing hand will come, even if it doesn't there is no shame in being blinded off, for surely others will have played hands and been eliminated thus improving your cash position. Last week I was in A live tourny and made the final table in third chip position. The seat I drew was a "cold one" I folded probably the first 60 hands. In that time which was just A little over an hour. 3 other players had been eliminated. Leaving the field at 4. After an hour of never playing A hand I felt as though i was playing to tight, but was still getting not even mediocre hands so I continued to fold watching my chip stack dwindle, the blinds at 10,000- 20,000. Still I dogedly held to the maxim that patience was the key. now the other three players all caught big hands. First 1 bet four times the b.b. the next seat went all -in the chip leader called immediately, and the original bettor also called it was AA against QQ against AK. the chip leaders Aces held and he eliminated the other two. Now I'm short stacked up against the massive chip leader. he put me all in every hand, finally I caught A-7 clubs suited. He had queen -10 caught a queen on the flop and A 10 on the river. The point I'm getting at is that at the final table I played only "1" hand and took second place. It improved my money 830.00 by only playing one hand the point being I didn't call off my chips chasing mediocre draws.:joyman: [/QUOTE]
