Tournament play

I played the primo yesterday finishing 40th, i played  prob the best game i have played in a long time but for some reason i played a rag ace which i never play and went from 5th to 46th in one hand! It was a serious lack of concentration however as the primo is the only tournament online which gets so many players apart from freerolls which i think are pointless how can i better or lengthen my concentration in a tournament? should i play deepstacks as they last longer or should i move to live play and hope it transfers onto online play?

    Its really hard to play a 4 hour tournament without making at least 1 mistake....

    It's where you need abit of luck I suppose.

    Why don't you try playing a cash game, and play for 5/6 hours+ at a time, play tight, as you would early in a tournament, and see how it goes.

    DoHHHHHH looking back this is one thing i think has helped me alot. I still struggling in cash, the old tournament problem of gear changing when blinds are the same lol.

    However now i can go into a deepie and compete, before hand i had to be in a fast paced tournament.

    Something d fully advise :)/

    Why do you people want an auto top up feature when we already went a million miles ahead getting a 'max button'.

    implementing things like a time bank would be a much better start before pointless things like auto top up.

    Auto top up is not pointless imo, getting that would be a lot easier than having to press the max button every time your stack drops below 100bbs. It would make my life a lot simpler when I'm multi-tabling and losing half my stack every other hand lol

    :(

    I don't accept that this feature is needed. I play more tables at once than most people in a week f-fs and I FIND IT EASY to just smack max each time I want to top up on a table. 

    Timebank ftw
