Message: [QUOTE="Gingerbeer86, post: 7077433, member: 1037945"] Hi all, I play live MTT and have a pretty low ITM% but have won some large local tournaments ($20k and $50k), and reached 138/3198 in a large major event in the last year. For all other tournaments entered and not reaching the money, I tend to have the odd blow up. Some examples: - All in with a silly hand, for no reason other than it felt the thing to do. - calling down a jam to my raise too quickly, knowing I have lost the hand, but thinking I didn’t deserve it. - building healthy stacks, then feeling the pressure to play looser due to wanting to race and average stack size, or not be blinded out. Just wondering if anyone knows of strategies or methods / resources that helps control blowups or losing that mental edge during tournaments? I know tilt influences these things, but for me personally these things happen when I’m not tilted. Appreciate any insights you may have. Thanks [/QUOTE]
