    I've been playing the 4.40 180 mans from the 26th to now..so not long of course but I keep getting within the top fifty, and even top 18 with one final table but I'm noticing that the major leak in my game is my end game. I think out of 15 or so I've come in the top half of the field 13 times. If you want to sharkscope me (th3 priest), look at my data and see if this hints at a leak in my end game. Just look at data from 26th-now as the data before that was..well...tilting. I'm neg about 200 on SS but I'm up in my MTT game with a few cashes over 1,000.

    I find myself deep with the blinds high with maybe 8-10k in chips and I'm playing really well. Then i double up, maybe double up after that. Then I seem to lose my chips in minutes. Even with the blinds at 400-800 and me with 18k, when I raise from mid position with AK and then get called and continue on the flop only to get reraised, that's like half of my chips.

    Is there an article or can anyone give me some advice on how to play the end game? I know I'm supposed to be aggressive against the nits but in these 4.40s they're all lagtards and I can't push through as much as I'd like to. I know I can do it...I just gotta plug leaks.

    Read it and didn't really help much. Honestly, I think I need to be educated about ICM. I don't understand it and I never know what to do with certain hands.

    you can open ship hands some hands instead of raise folding......ive played a few of the 4 180s and is allbout just pickin up uncontested pots once antes kick in, and shoving your big hands and gettin value from the shit the others players are in there with......
