| How much do you let tournie position affect your decisions?
I'm doing well in MTTS - have for a while now, but sometimes I wonder if my monitoring of my position affects my play adversely.
Example: I'm in the lead by 10k chips. 32 players left. I end up in a fight on a draw. I have an up and down straight draw. I have him covered easily. He pushes after my raise. I have about 2:1 to hit if I call. I fold. Why? because it's a 1 in 3 chance I'll win, if so great. If I lose, My chip lead goes down to 2k instead of 10k. All on a 3:1 call.
I was pondering, perhaps if I didn't know the exact ship standings I'd have called?
Note: in MTTS I watch the tournament lobby when I'm doing well. I'm not interested in making the bubble. I want top 3 or better.
What do you think or do? do you ignore the leaderboard (like a live game where you never really know where you stand, unless you are on a break) or do you use it to your advantage?
p.s. oops! - this should be in Holdem Strategy
