The collapse of the comeback

[Wardonkey]

All number of chips are relative to the blind levels.

The normal structure on Tribecca, there are 2000 starting chips, but the blinds are 150/300 after just 32 mnutes.  This is the point where we're usually on or very near the bubble. The whole tournament rarely lasts any longer than 50 minutes.

I find at the lower levels ( $5 & $10 ) on tribeca ordinary, that these games are so aggressive that if I play squeezy cheek tight, I'm invariably shorty with 5 left.  Is that the same 'Ooop there' at the higher levels?  If so is that necessarly a bad thing ?

Being short at that stage is not that important. As long as you have enough chips to make people pass. It's nice to have a lot of chips but it's more important to be in the game.

exactly..as long as you have a fair amount of chips you have power at the table.

If you have been very tight until then your pushes will also have more respect
