    Hi all,

    Not sure if this is a leak of mine( i have a few, but being worked on), but lately ive been gettin into decent positions late in tournaments, then all of a sudden, im moved 3/4 times in around 20 minutes, and things seem to go wrong from then on.

    Latest example:

    Last nights sunday mill on stars, now i never play this unless i sat into it, but do like to play it as even though my stats/results arent that great, i feel extremely comfortable most of the time playing them, and feel confident in my ability to make deep runs when i do play the high stakes tournies.

    Ok, so after 4 1/2 hours of play, i'd just lost a third of my stack, JJ vs AK, was sitting with around 210k, blinds were around 6/12k i think, after taking this dent to my stack, i was table moved, played about 5 hands, then was moved again, played around 2 orbits at next table, and was promptly moved again, whilst this was happening, my stack had dwindled a bit with blinds goin through, but just didnt seem to feel the confidence that i had pre all these table moves.

    Ended up shoving AKd to a 5 x bb raise from utg+1(said to myself that he/she was huge, but with my stack, i had to make a move at some point), ran into kk and out, im happy about the shove, but just wondered if any of the regs/pro's had a particular way of dealing with table moves, or whether this is just me being silly and over thinking things through lol

    Thanks In advance for any advice given
