jw gets a cheap look from the small blind. people are starting to stall

are people stalling at other tables, BF? Maybe I should start.

I dont know. I do know that 3x raises should be out of your arsenal now. Everyone gets resteal crazy late in these because they know that people cant call all ins.

Good point about the 3xBB raise. I don't have a lot of experience in a satellite and I see that is probably one big difference between them and usual tourneys.

Yes stop with the 3x. Youre just trying to stay alive right now. You dont want to win the most chips. Everyone else is doing the same thing. Theres a couple people who appeared to be stalling at your table. Not sure if it was intentional or not. I checked other tables, and theyre not stalling yet.

I would probably stall if i were you. Youre going to be all in to win blinds the rest of the way, and you dont want to do that too many times. By stalling every hand, you will probably have to do it two fewer times than otherwise.

You need to stay ahead of the blinds enough that people fear your all in raise. Big stacks will soon be looking to firm up their position with massive amounts of blindstealing, and will start to create a huge gap between themselves and the short stacks who cant do that.

From this point on (61 left) , I would say we played a minimum of 100 hands last time. That means you're going to have to win the blinds a minimum of 9 times, just to stay alive. Don't risk too much to do it, but if you can get all in against a guy like bocaorange who has too few chips to call, you can probably rob him blind. Especially with Dolphin just barely having 2x your stack.

Also, pay attention to the blind intervals. If you're going to go all in to steal blinds, and the blind levels go up in 1 min, wait till they do. No sense in stealing a smaller pot unless you have a top top hand.
