    I'm sitting in a $3+.30 MTT 1R1A about 2.5 hours in, sitting on 50bb or so. I've been at this same table for about an hour and a half.

    A lot of the players here seem to be very...either tight passive or loose passive. Lot of limped pots seeing the flop, but a lot of standard raises also seeing some pretty loose calls from the blinds and out of position. I haven't had a chance to three-bet light just out of lack of cards for the most part. Also a lot of 3x raising followed by a similar 3-4x bb cont. bet.

    What's the best route to take here? Is it worth the steal attempts and playing my image of TAG knowing that I'm going to get called most of the time? Or would it be better to play a more open style?

    To a degree, but with the seemingly random calls and limp/calling I don't know if it's the smartest play here.

    I'm not a MTT player that often so when I get deep in my strategy and lines of thinking are a little shaky.

    Well no luck I suppose...got into bubble play and my QQ in the BB ran into KK on the button...managed to come back only to lose QQ to A9 on a flopped and turned 9. C'est la poker.
