Important of tournament stack variance?

But the thing to keep in mind especially early, is to not get involved in pots that are bigger than they need to be, unless u are sure you have the best of it.

Late in the tournament a simple blind and ante steal from the button can earn you more chips then doubling up in the first round, calling an all in bet Even in a normal sized MTT say you start 1500 chips, getting to 4500 first (say by going all in 2x with KK, its still a gamble) isnt going to mean too much when people are in the 150,000's once it gets down to 40 or so players. You are eventually going to be stealing 4500 chips with a button raise stealing the SB, BB and the antes.

Thats why I believe you should take much less risks early and many more later

a really important thing early in the tournament is to see a lot of flops. if you keep the pots low, then there a higher chance that you'll see the flop and catch something, which is better than being reraised.

With cards that can pay off, and cards that youd toss at the later stages
Like the 1 gap suited connectors (9s7s) and Kxs etc. Calling with 93o just bc blinds are low simply isnt a good idea...but you are right seeing a lot of flops (assuming you are at least a good post flop player) is very helpful in building your stack

One of the biggest problems i find is that in hands where you river 2 pair,and then the villian makes a extremely large, unlogical bet, but the turn and river become cordinated (flush or straight) i think its one of the hardest decisions to make. Alot of times, desperate opponents raise for a bluff, but then when it hits, its extremely devistating.
