15841  Poker Forums / The Rail / Survival vs. Eyes on the Prize on: November 03, 2005, 05:20:39 PM
Tournament poker advice can sometimes be contradictory.

I was asked the other day a question about playing hands approaching the final table of a MTT.

His problem was that he often found himself confused between

1. Keeping his eyes on the first place prize and playing aggressively accordingly

2. Tournament survival and moving up the prize ladder passively

Well I told him to keep 1. in mind when deciding wheter to make a bet/raise and revert back to 2. when deciding if you should call a bet yourself. Then I proceeded to blag on about stack sizes and bullying/the power of chips for a couple of pints.

Essentially this is basically just the gap concept but I thought this was a good way to help him further understand it, and how crucial it is in the closing stages of a tournament.

Would you folks offer similar advice? Is there anything you would add?

I don't think so either. If you play Sng's and have a decent roll of about 20 buy-ins it's certainly not outwith the realms of possibility to double your roll in a week, let alone a month.

In limit cash a roll of 300BB could be doubled in 100-200 hours decent play. When I played exclusively online I put in about 45hrs a week so would expect to double my roll every month.

If you were to double ur bankrol over 1 month, would that not mean you are playing outside your bankroll?
