The other day in a thread i said i would have fold with JJ very near before ITM and said that ITM was not the end of the game and that you could have good cards after.
Tonight i was playing an under the gun tournament we started 604 players and ITM was at 108.
Before ITM i had a very low stack and folded some good cards trying to make ITM and i did.
And like i said the other day the game is not over after ITM and i had a very good proof of it tonight making final table and finished 5th. place

I think that this is a good strategy when you are so close to the money. Very often i have seen players getting involved in hands when there is no need to and they often get busted out. Sit tight and then open up after the bubble is burst
