Riding the blinds

AN INTERESTING IDEA ......

LETS SAY THERE 145 N TOURN AND YOUR SITTING IN 74TH POSITION W A LITTLE OVER 5K N CHIPS AND TO CASH LOWEST YOU NEED 30th
BLINDS ARE BARELY 75\150 WHICH MAKES EACH POT ONE TO WANT A PIECE OF BUT HOW FAR DOES YOUR GAME GO?
THE COMMON IDEA IS TO MOVE DOWN IN POSITION TO A LOWER POSITION BUT THE UNCOMMON IDEA IS HOW....LOTS OF MOVES R BEING MADE N EVERY ONE IS DOING WHAT U WANT TO BUT IS EVERY ONE DOING WHAT YOU ARE?..
THIS IS CALLED RIDING THE BLINDS AND IT JUST ISNT ABOUT FOLDING ...
OF COURSE YOUVE BEEN NOTING PLAYERS AND THEIR ACTIONS BUT HOW MUCH ATTETION HAVE U PUT ON OTHER PLAYERS SITUATION NOT EVEN ON YOUR TABLE?..
(POSITION PLAYING)-TO EITHER MAINTAIN YOUR POSITION OR GET IN A BETTER ONE ..NOT NECESSARILY BY GETTING IN EVERY HAND BUT BY RIDING THE BLINDS..
IN THIS CASE YOUR HALF WAY THERE SO IF UR N ALOT YOU WILL LOOSE POS. BUT IF YOU KEEP AN EYE ON OTHER PLAYERS FROM THE TOURN LIST YOU CAN BETTER JUDGE YOUR MOVES ..EX: YOU HAVE 5K SO ONLY COUNT FOR FOR 3500 CHIPS THAT GIVES YOU 3500 FOR THE HAND YOU MAKE A MOVE WITH AND AT LEAST 25 MIN OF RIDING THE BLINDS AND OBSERVE THE LIST AND LOOK FOR .. LEST SAY YOUR STACK STRENTH IS NOW 3500 CHIPS MINUS THE 1500 YOU PRETEND ARENT THERE ..SO LOOK FOR THE HIGHEST POSITION MINUS 500 OR SO OF YOUR SAFEZONE SO WELL GO WITH 3K AND YOU CAN SEE THE HIGHEST POSITION FOR 3K IS 105th ..HERE YOU CAN FIGURE THAT BETWEEN THE REMAINING PLAYERS OUT SIDE 105th POS. AND THE BIG STACK BATTLES THAT SOMEWHERE AROUND 25 MIN THERE WILL ONLY BE AROUND 95 POSITIONS AT THIS TIME.. MEANWHILE BLINDS HAVE RAISED A LITTLE AND BETWEEN YOUR BLINDS AND 2 OUTSIDE HANDS YOU MANAGE TO CHECK YOURSELF INTO A FEW 1K OR BETTER POTS GIVING YOU ENOUGH TO KEEP CLOSE TO YOUR ORIGINAL STACK OF 5K OR SO BUT NOW YOU HAVE ALSO HELD YOUR POS. AS IT HAS CHANGED A LITTLE BUT YOUVE SEEN A LOT OF CARDS AND BY STAYING IN YOUR POSITION IS A LITTLE LOWER TO THE CASH GIVING THAT ALOT OF THE OUTS MAYBE 40 % WERE MADE BY THE SMALL STACKS TRYIN TO GO ALL IN AS A LAST DITCH EFFORT AND 60% USUALLY CALLED BY A MONSTER STACK SO ONLY AROUND 15% MAKE IT THROUGH THAT .. N BEING THAT JUST A FEW PLAYERS IN A HAND MAKE A NICE POT A 60% OF THE BIG STACKS TRY TO STEAL OR RAISE AK ECT. GIVING THAT AT LEAST 30% OF THEM GET KNOCKED OUT GIVES YOU SOMEWHERE AROUND A 75% OF MOVING POSITIONS TOWARD THE MONEY WITHOUT PLAYING BUT A FEW HANDS AND BY NOW ANOTHER 20 MIN YOUR EITHER N THE MONEY OR VERY CLOSE WITH AROUND 45 - 50 LEFT N A FEW MORE HANDS UR STILL AT 5K BUT HERES THE IDEA ..EVERY ONE ON THE TABLE HAS MORE CHIPS THAN U N MAYBE YOUR UP TO 7K NOW BUT THESE BATTLE ARE STILL GOING ON SO ONE OF TWO THINGS CAN HAPPEN BY NOW U CAN RIDE IT OUT 15 MORE MIN TILL THE OTHER 15-20 R OUT AND AT THIS POINT 60% WILL BE BIG STACKS GETTING OUT BEFORE YOU AND YOUR IN THE MONEY AND THE ONES GETTING BLINDED OUT ..OR AT THIS POINT AFTER ALL THE WAITING OR MAYBE 15 MIN AGO YOU FINALLY GOT PKT ACES OR KINGS AND THE CHANCES OF ANY OF THE LARGESTACKS CALLING YOUR ARE 2 TO 1 SO THERES A GREAT CHANCE YOULL DOUBLE AND GOOD CHANCE YOULL TRIPLE UP EXP IF U HAD SOME THING LIKE PKT KINGS AND BLINDED THEM IN FOR A SET OF KINGS WITH 3 PLAYERS IN HAND ALL WITH ACES AND AN ACE ON THE FLOP ..A DOUBLE UP WILL TAKE YOU TO A GOOD POSITION AND A TRIPLE OR BETTER PUTS YOU UP THERE WITH THE ONES WHOVE BEEN PRETTY LUCKY AND A GOOD CHANCE FOR THE FINAL TABLE ....
I GUESS THIS IS THING ..IM NOT SAYING NOT TO PLAY GOOD CARDS BUT WEIGH THEM AGAINST EVERYTHING NOT JUST UR SITUATION OR YOUR CHIPSTACK ...HAVE A GOOD GAME PLAN IF U HIT EARLY ON IN TOURN AND LET IT GO OUTSIDE THE GAME ...
THINK OF ALL THE OUTS LIKE THE OTHER PLAYERS NOT JUST THE CARD OUTS ..DONT RELY ON LUCK BUT WHOS TO SAY AMOG THIS WAY OF PLAY THO U GOT LUCKY N SLID PKT 10'S N ON REG BLIND AND TRIPPED OR BETTER AND SOME ONE QUICKY BROUGHT ALL IN CAUSE THE COULD N YOU DOUBLE UP..AND YOU BEEN IN THE MONEY ALREADY AND DID IT ALL OVER AGAIN TILL NOW EVERY ONES JUMPING AND AFTER ALL THAT YOU COVERED YOUR INVESTMENT ONLY IN THE MONEY LEFT AND U GET PKT Q'S WHILE 3 PLAYERS MAKE THEIR MOVE BEFORE YOUR TURN AND NOW SO DO U AND SURVIVE THE HAND AND NOW YOU JUST MADE A HAND THAT GIVE YOU THE CHIPS TO ACT BATTLE IN THE END WHILE AT SOME POINT 60% ALREADY HAD IT AND LOST IT ...YOU CAN GET LUCKY NO DOUBT JUST DONT BET ON IT
