"Why not call? You're probably getting pushed out of a lot of pots if you're folding middle pairs in the later stages or if they've caught on and they're bluffing you."
Doc; excellent point. Like I said, I think my mind is kind of branded with this "no calls!" philosophy from the books I read in my original cash game playing days.
I think you're right about playing for survival. Same thing-- I've grabbed on to that 'survival at all costs' philosophy as it relates to tournaments, causing me to overlook opportunities and necessary risks.
I think all of this is going to be helpful in deconstructing my fortresses.
Thanks again, everyone
