Message: [QUOTE="Joe, post: 5661239, member: 193663"] The majority of these types of players essentially have zero idea how to play tournament poker. Their thought process is usually along the lines of; "If I shove everyone might fold and I'll win the pot. If someone [I]does[/I] call, I might hit and [I]still[/I] win the pot." These types of players [I]think[/I] that if they can hit a double-up or triple-up in the first few hands, it will increase their chances of making it ITM or [I]even winning[/I]. They are, of course, completely [I]wrong[/I]. Tournaments are marathons, not sprints.. Without solid strategy and patience, you're never going to do well in MTT's regularly, regardless of how many chips you manage to bink in the first few hands. Even if one of these players were to go all in on the first hand, get called by [I]all eight[/I] opponents [I]and win the pot[/I].. They've still got a snowflake's chance in hell of winning the tournament. They're just too impatient. I've seen it time and time again.. They catch a triple up first hand but twenty to thirty minutes later, they're gone.. Call off half their stack with AT/AJ v AK, and lose, and then already they're back in the mentality of 'I need to double/triple'.. If you [B]keep[/B] risking your tournament life (even with premium/monsters [[I]let alone the ATC trash these players push with[/I]]), eventually you'll lose. It's inevitable... P.S. Often when I get busted down to, [I]say[/I], 15bb by one of these players and they now have 150bb (thanks to some miraculous bink), I'll tell them that despite the 10:1 chip advantage- they'll bust first. It amuses me how often that comes to pass... :) [/QUOTE]
