My Exit Hand in Mini Event MTT

edited May 2011 in The Poker Clinic
Hi All,

Like ive said before I dont really play alot of MTTs, however I think I will deffo do the Mini from now on once a week.

I seem to do fairly well getting past the bubble with a fairly decent stack size. I have Played 4 MTTs in 2 weeks, got past bubble in 3, crashed out just before in 1, due to outrageously bad play by me - I know its not a good sample size but the following probleme remains.

That problem being I dont really know how to play with a medium stack when the blinds are so big. in The following exit hand the Chip leader (and he/she was huge - had 100% more chips than anyoneelse in tourney) was gobbling up chips everywhere, calling raises and pushing people off the flop with big raises.

So after the raise, I feel like I cant reraise as it would put almost half my stack on the line - so would be shoving flop regardless, and with a flat call, im gonna get out played on the flop if i miss, taking 20% or so......I wouldnt mind a fold from CL here and just getting her chips they have raised with, and my hands pretty solid so if he/she calls an AIPF, ive got a good chance of a double up. As you can see it didnt play out that way - not bothered about the result, just want to know how I should play when in this position.....I finished 30th, which is quite respectable for me!!!
