    A problem that I have when i get deep in a big MTT is I will become too stingy with my blinds. If it folds aorund to me in SB, i always raise 3x. If it folds aroud to small blind and he 3x raises me.. I always want to call or reraise with a marginal hand like A 5 or Q 9.

    Just wondering how you guys control this in your play. Also, what types of hands will you raise/reraise/shove/flat call/limp in these situations.

    Thanks in advance,

    depends on how aggro the other blind is. if he rarely raises your blinds then it's hard to repop w/o some kind of hand. also if hes in bb and isn't folding to the raises pf and also floating flops on you when u raise i think you aren't really getting much value by raising his bb with marginal hands. so i guess i'm just trying to say it's player dependant

    Yeah this is very true. I really need to pay more attention as to who is to my left and right. Thanks for the response.

    Any others?

    If you fold you cant lose any more money, just practice picking your spots.
