Topic: How short is your stack??? Forum: Card Chat

Hi all.

An area of my game that I find difficult to deal with is the early pat of a game and stack size. The rest of the tourny I`m comfortable with, but this is what I mean...

U start with 1500 chips in a MTT. Blinds are 10/20 and raise every 20 mins. I am sometimes reluctant to to call a 4 times bb raise in middle position holding say KQ. I feel at this stage of the tourny it is too much of a risk to put in 80 chips at this stage. In general, accepting the fact I will know little about the others at the table, would that be a good fold or not? What are your thoughts?

I use the above example to give you an idea, but the main point is the same with similar hands e.g. AJ, 99. Early in a tourny, what do u think???

I might be unusual, but I struggle with the early stage of a tourny, the middle and latter stages I`m ok (normally the other way around?) Using the example I tend to panic when I drop below 1000 chips even with the blinds @ 25/50.

Any comments guys???
