also...when blinds get high and its folded to me in late/mid position...whta types of hands should i bet raising?If it's folded to you on the button raise anything that's not completely unplayable.Realize that you'll still end up folding a lot of flops if you're bet into.good luck.

In the final stages when bets represent a larger proportion of most players' stacks, these tourneys need to be played much more like PLO8 IMO, since mistakes get punished severely.A few suggestions:Hands wil typically be only 2-4 players, so if someone bets into you, don't chase for half the pot.Don't be afraid to be the aggressor after the flop - but be prepared to slow down if opponents don't go away and you don't hit.Look to Open-Raise preflop with anything decent, especially in late position.Be very selective about entering a pot behind someone else. Bon Chance
