Tiny slice of Cake

I still got only a slice of cake but not the cake all for myself. I mean, havent made inroads into any of the FTs in the tourneys I played. Played the 10+r and busted around 20th place out of 180 players. I am holding up well and good but the game is way volatile once it hits the 25 player mark. I still havent been able to adjust my game. I was sitting there hanging in with 12-13 BB and a ton of activity going on. I wasnt even able to make moves with that kind of stack with the morbid fear of running into big pairs. There were two hand ATs and KQo that I folded to raises from players even in stack with me. I wasnt sure if I should call or reraise and preferred the scared puppy route. I have cashed in almost every tourney I have played since I got onto Cake (yes only 4 days) and pretty much I have busted in all of them with AIPF hands and most of the times I was ahead. So cant see why people would call with any two cards against someone who is playing tight and pushes when entering a pot. I do know its not right to just keep pushing to get to the FT once I am around 15th position. But the kind of play that goes on at that stage, I prefer that kind of moves for a double up or bust out. One double up and I could loosen up a little bit but havent won any heads-up AIPFs at that stage yet. But anyone out there reading this, with Cake experience, please do let me know if I could be helped out in any kinda way to sneak into the FT. Again, I am pretty positive I will post next time with an MTT win at Cake :-)
