This post inspired me a great deal! Thanks alot!

Yesterday i bought in at the 10k guaranteed on everest poker and basicly just stuck to this approach. I saw like 10 flops total during the entire tournament but managed to finish 43rd out of 993 players.

While it was kinda boring i played settlers 4 on my other pc at the same time. That helped me alot keeping myself patient (Still working on that). And im pretty sure it helped alot because after i had completed my settlers game i started getting bored and playing speculative hands resulting in my stack taking a 40% hit. Next time i hope to keep my head straight and just stick to the plan, and im pretty confident i'll be able to move up further in the payout tree.

But indeed even as a shortstack playing in these tournaments is all about patience. On the bubble i was number 79 in chips compared to the 91 remaining. WIthout playing a hand i went down to 56 of 80 in one orbit, and finished 43rd two orbits later. Much better than the usual 80+th that i usually would have gotten!

So thanks alot aokrongly!
