How much do gears change once ITM?
Just wanted to hear some opinions. I tend to be way too tight after ITM. I know thats got to be a flaw. Usually im Slightly below to avg stack.

It depends. If I get to the money with a decent stack I tighten up. Usually in tournaments, I play tight to start, then when the bubble comes close, I loosen up because people get scared to play (they are thinking about only making money, not making it deep), then once in the money, I go back to playing tight. Plus, having played slightly loose before the money, I have that image, so when switching to tight, I get more callers than I might have otherwise.
If I am short stacked when I hit the money, I usually do the all-in or fold play. If I double up, I can play tight again, if not, I am likely out with a small profit. |

As soon as im in the money with any kind of stack every hand im looking to make it bigger. Always going for the win, not just placing can pay off. Get alots of just after the bubble finishes, but alot of wins too

lol that doesnt answer his question. but once im itm it all depends on stack if your short stacked find a decent hand to dive with. if im avg stack or above avg stack i play tight, but if you make it to top 5 or so loosen up cuz your odds of cacthing are greater shorthanded

see thats what i thought someone would say
Does that not seem weird that at least one of the replies said something to the effect of "take all of the skill out of the hand and push it in preflop". Just dont see how thats +EV or helpful with the ROI for the trny. I know when your short stacked and get monster AA, KK then big stack will usually call anyway. What if say the avg stack is 10k for "A" , the online poker tournament, and you are sitting right on 10k. What about 6k? What about 20k? What if you are the chip leader?
