I played a MTT the other day, one that the top 9 places won a seat in a bigger game. I started playing and I soon realised the follow up game was on Saturday and I can't play this Saturday. So I thought, "sod it, lets have a bit of fun". I didn't go crazy, but I raised anything half decent, in mid position or later, and I called or prevoked any all-ins with any pair or top cards. I also raised any flop where I needed the 5:1 card to complete my straight, or 2:1 flush draw. This was mainly met with folds and nice pot steals, or if it went to showdown I won.

Frequently when all in with low pairs like 66, I'd find I was up against AK, A10, AJ. And I'd win. I started amassing chips and was in the position to call smaller stack all-ins with little investment from me. i.e. I called an all-in with 2.5k chips (still had another 14k spare) with 78suited. They had AK and 44. I hit a pair of 7's lol.

And so it went on. I was chip leader within 40 mins and I basically gave up at 14th as I didn't want the prize.

Thing I'm wondering, is was I really jammy, or is this maybe an indicator I'm playing way too tight post flop normally?

ive always believed that when in and around the bubble it is best to go aggressive. You may finish outside the moeny on occasion but your find that your also make it further into the money than you would otherwise playing tight.

The money increases dramatically at the top end and its better to play for the win than to play to just cash maybe 2x your entry fee.

Im proud of my bubble finishes as i know they are a sympton of my big multitable wins.

In order to live you must be willing to die!

I think you did get a bit lucky in places winning a majority of your coinflips, however this does not mean that post flop aggression is detrimental to your game. I personally am very agressive post flop (and when not playing on PKR i'm very agressive pre-flop). In MTT's its all about picking your spots. Be agressive when you have a decent holding but be warey of re-raises. Agression post flop is good and i tend to raise most unraised pots if in position. Although i think you did get a bit jammy, opening up to more post flop agression can only help your game (don't go mad though :P)
