    Ok this is my first post on here so bare with me if its abit rubbish.

    Ok so since the start of October i decided to really go for being a major player in the big mtt's on FTP, and have gone pretty deep in alot of tourneys recently having polished off my early game which i feel is pretty sound now.
    How ever im increasingly frustrated with my late stage game as i keep missing final tables, the last few i can remember 10th, 11th and last night 12th.
    Is there something im doing wrong or is it just a case of getting unlucky? Im thinking maybe i should just fold everything except aa or kk and if i have to play short stacked at the final table, however the urge to be chipleader going into final table play kinda takes over my thoughts and i get involved with hands like 99 upto aq.
    If any consistent mtt players have any advice for me i would really appreciate it.
    See ya at the felt Gonnaw1n (maybe oneday lol)

    Well its kind of difficult to explain. But later in tournaments on full tilt especially you have to be able to three bet all in with certain ranges of hands vs agressive players or the chip leader at your table. usually 14 to 20 bbs is a good time to 3 bet all in o0ver an innitial raise. on pokerstars the structure is so much better in the later parts of the tournaments that it is ok to be patient since they have 15 minute blind stages and a better structure.

    so gl at the tabeles I hope this helps a bit.
