I am AWFUL at final tables...
By Goodburger on 05-14-2008 12:50 AM

I am so bad at final tables.  Most of the tournanments I play are small (300 max ppl), so when I cash, I generally am able to make the final table.

I've made the final table as big stack, short stack, avg stack, but am just awful at these things...

 Any advice on how to be better at final tables?  Maybe just like general advice on how to play given short stack, CL, avg stack...

Also, about half the tournies I play are on UB so their small and the others are the 4.40 180's...

Mephisto, you are mispeaking here.

 Yes, variance is a bitch, but the only way to curtail it is to play volume.  AA is going to beat AK 90% of the time, but there is nothing anyone can do your hand won't hold up.

What you are talking about is how to get better.  Also very important, but not making the best plays possible isn't variance, that is the skill part of the game.  Variance is the luck part.

I ment those to be two separate paragraphs/points, I just never expanded on the first sentence.  My suggestion has little to do with overcoming variance which I agree is mostly a volume issue and more on improving your end game for a (hopefully) higher ROI.
