Play to Min Cash vs Play to Win, What’s Your Approach?

[Bawse]

I always play to win, but I tighten up a bit as we get closer to the bubble.

How about you? What’s your approach, are you playing for the win, or aiming to secure a min cash?

I don't think I can do that min cash mentality at all because once you start thinking like that, fear would interfere in your play. Even though I push for wins, i would still make use of my sense. It won't work when you are reckless.

Stack sizes play a huge role in how I approach a tournament. When I’m short-stacked, I shift into a double-up-or-fold mindset. With a deeper stack, I play tighter but still look for spots to chip up or collect dead money.

Blinds tend to increase quickly online, so being too patient can cost you and lead to getting blinded out.
