33bb is gonna be around average. First factor I' m concerned about is how close we are to the bubble. If we're close, I' m looking to maintain this stack size without taking too many risks, so I' m gonna steal when I have the blinds well covered, and avoid confrontation with those who have me covered unless I have something I can't fold. Once we're past the bubble, with 33bb I' m looking to build a stack in an attempt to final table, so I' m widening my opening range, and widening my calling range vs shoves from shorties. Death or glory until I' m deeper than 50bb, at which point I steal lots and try to avoid big pots with marginal hands, while still trying to pick off shorts where possible.
Okay the first part of your post makes sense besides the tightening of your call range. If you are last to act and closing the action you should be calling WAY wider then normal since there's SO much extra dead money in the pot. Okay since arjo is going to ask why cause he does about every fucking post everyone makes on this forum now instead of trying to think for himself first. Basically if your not closing the action you should be getting squeezed on quite a bit because people just don't like taking flops in tournaments(No clue why).
Now not taking "risks" is fine and dandy but if this is the bubble of w/e tourney you should be looking to build a stack and pick on people doing what you just outlined in your post. I mean winning the whole tourney is where most of your ROI comes from. If you look to just mincash every time you play you'll have this stellar cash % but a terrible ROI compared to the guy who is winning all the chips versus the "oh noes I can't bust on the bubble" guy.
