How do you most often get eliminated from tourney?

I am just curious to hear what are the most commons way people here get eliminated from live tourneys – I would like to focus on live tourneys because the dynamic online is a bit different....

I really find myself getting caught stealing blinds in LP (when I have <10BB) in unopened pots very very often.......I get to a point where I have to push with any two as stealing blinds at late stages of the tourney is a big part of my game, especially when it get short-handed and when I hear the word “call” I go in “opsss, got caught!” mode...that’s how I get eliminated at least 50% of the times :mad: . Most of the time I still think that I made the right play though and I just got the timing wrong – I may need to reconsider that though as I am getting caught a bit too often .

I also often get caught making a move from the BB, especially pushing with ok hands (ie KQ) in 4-5 way limped pot when I have let’s see 15BB and on the BB and getting called by one of the limpers (as if calling 1 BB or 15BB was the same thing) :rolleyes: .

I suggest everyone picks 2-3 choices each listed in the poll....I include 10 scenarios, of course there are many more but can’t fit them all in the poll .

Lose your chips IMO:)

Always when shortstacked pushing with AQ. Doesn't matter what calls me I'm out.

By putting my chips in with the worst hand and not sucking out

Played 3 live tourneys, first 2 lost while relatively shortstacked AK > ?8....8 on board both times.

Most recently, all in AK>88. K on flop, K on turn.....8 on river.

Damn those pesky 8's :rolleyes:

Where is the option
" Playing like a monkey "

Generally by flopping top set with KK, only for someone with AQ to hit runner runner broadway :mad:

No normal way for me, but usually I get it in ahead or with a big draw.

rag2gar saying "I didn't think you were that strong" ..... then he gets lucky.

i picked the first one cause it seems the most self inflicted ego damaging..pretty much my standard line
