Topic: low stack late tournament strategy Forum: Card Chat

Hi Dsmn8 - I had a similar situation. I was in 32nd place out of 4000 the other day nearing the end with just over 130 players left. I had about 35,000 chips and got "thrifty" with my chips. I know I should have been playing more hands but I was afraid I'd lose my chips. Then I saw myself drifting lower in ranking .... and then the blinds were up to 3000/6000. So I thought I better play something and build my stack because pretty soon I'd be down to nothing. The blinds came around and there went 9,000. Then again, another 9,000 so I was down to around 18,000 now. So the next decent hand I had - I played. Unfortunately, I lost and came in 125 in the tourney. I think the secret of these freeroll type tourneys is to accumulate lots of chips early and continue to play looser until the end. Many of the top chip leaders had over 100,000 +
chips and started playing ery, ery tight near the end. I watched them and learned quite a bit even if I didn't place in the money.

Good luck!
