OK Lou (good to see you again by the way) maybe you can help with this one, I NEVER find myself in a big stack situation after the second hour, never. I understand you need to play tight and let the morons (the ones you can't bluff) bust out, but I am alway in survival mode when it get with 10% of the money spots. This is the problem with my tournament play I am always in a spot where I have to have a hand and just can't risk everything on KJ, which may be the best hand of the last 40 you see.

Gotta find a way to get more chips earlier in the tournament. I have recently thought it might be better to gamble and bust our early than to just bleed to death after 2 and half hours.

Good to see you.

Keep in mind that there are different strategies for MTTs. Gus Hansen (loose) v. Dan Harrington (tight). Etc.

The problem is ... there is alot of play during a MTT. You also start off with a good amount of chips (compared to the starting blinds) and you are able to wait for good hands while others play reckless. (Yes, reckless - look at how quick they drop.) If you go deep, it'll take a while to finish, so you will get to see many hands.

Sometimes, you just don't get good cards. This happens. It would also explain a short stack nearing the second break. Pick a spot, double up, etc. When you find yourself comfortable, you can steal blinds, bluff, and see more flops.
