MTT mid end game

[zenbitz]

So, I am ranked about 300/400 in an MTT, with <6 BB in my stack. Top 130 get paid.

How long can I wait before I make my move?

[a500lbgorilla]

Any two cards in the next BB. Then after that 3 orbits before your allin with any two in the BB.

If you wait too long, a double up wont get you anywhere and you can push with weaker hands knowing that you are gonna get a call with boaderline hands.

G'luck

I ended up hitting KK right after I posted, doubling to 2K. to give me a little breathing room (not enough, really), and busted out on this
