Message: [QUOTE="mparker876, post: 849945, member: 42370"] The one problem with being shortstacked & trying to just squeeze into the money is that you'll generally be at the bottom of the payouts if you make it. Personally, after playing 4+ hours in a MTT I'd generally rather bust out having got my chips in witht the best hand for no cash than get the minimum payout (which generally isn't much more than your buy-in was) for folding every hand til the bubble bursts. Keep in mind though that I generally play low buy-in MTT's as my BR can't support higher buy-in tourneys right now. Way I see it, if I'm playing in say a $1 MTT and the minimum payouts are around $1.50, I'd rather take the chance to cash higher than to have $.50 (- tourney fee) to show for several hours work. But that's just me. [/QUOTE]
