You know, there's a point in the tournament, no matter what type of tournament you're playing that you need to say, it's now or never. There's also a point when you need to start playing a little looser. Most people who are playing tournaments even now, don't recognize that point. They understand early play and they understand late play, but they don't understand middle of the road play. When it's a good idea not to let yourself get any lower. What I want you to consider is, if you get to a point where you have less than twenty times the blinds left. Let's say the blinds are, small blind is fifty chips, big blind is a hundred chips and you have any where less than three thousand total chips. It's time for you to start loosening up, with hands like this. This is a somewhat raggedy hand actually. It's the type of hand that I said see a flop with, but you would not raise with this sort of hand early. But later, as other players will tend to tighten up, you need to bet the pot with this hand if you have less than twenty times the total blinds. So think about that, because what you don't want to do, is you don't want to let yourself get what we call blinded off. You want to stay in competition. It's no good to limp to the back end of the money. You want to make the front end of the money, the top, you want to finish in the top three and be a star.
