I got a nice new strategy.

Now, after many many bad played hands. Im playing much better.
At least I can reach the money on 80% of the time, and if not, i reach the bubble.

My strategy is this:
I never call a raise if I dont have monster hands.
And I never raise more than 3xBB iven with monster hands.

Off course I dont apply this every single hand.
If for example I have AA, and someone raise 2X or 3X BB i might raise it to 5x or 6x BB ir iven go all in if my stack is short.

But it is working wonders for me.
It helps me focus on staying, surviving on the game for much longer. Because tournaments is about surviving, so, being tight must be the first rule here. I get bluffed many times on this.
But now I dont bluff as often as I did before.
I get some beadbeat by some donkey all the time also.
Iven on games with higher buy-in than 5$...

Like in this hand here!

Well your strategy I'm afraid to say is nothing new. This is basic tournament poker. Also like you said you can't say this is what your will do everytime. I'm glad to see you finally learned the basics. There is alot more to tournament play than that and it takes alot of practice to learn. Keep practicing and you will get better and better
