I’ve been going through a months-long streak of poor performance in poker tournaments that’s actually got me troubled. In the last few weeks, I’ve played in several high-stakes tournaments where I’ve come within a few players of making the money, only to bust out. And last Friday night, for about the fifth or sixth time in three months, I busted on the bubble, that rare position that is the highest ranking player
I think the problem is obvious, and I also think its pretty awesome that you self-identified it. There is something faulty going on in your play when you get close to the money...that much is quite clear. Statistically, you busting out at the same point in the tournament so many times can only mean one thing...that you are not adjusting your play to meet the new demands of the tables as you and your competitors get close to the money.
Maybe it's time to review some high-quality poker advice about adjusting your play near the money. One thing is certain...it cannot hurt. Best of luck to you and thanks for the interesting reads.
