This is the most recent example of the phenomenon described in the subject. Fortunately I didn't have to pay for my entry but it had a fairly high effective value in this case, so I think it's about time I sought help.
Tournament players play differently and I adjust terribly, as shown here. They bet and raise smaller, bluff less, steal more, and fold, fold, fold. Most of the players at this table were limping about 10% of their hands, calling a pfr about 5% of the time and raising about the same or not at all. The SB in this hand had stats more typical of a deep stacked TAG cash game player, about 20/10 with a higher call pfr.
I'm very prone to putting all my chips in on (barely semi-)bluffs like this in tournaments. I have no idea what my chips are really worth and I just become more aggressive. I basically have no idea how to play in tournaments and I need advice.
