Q&A - How to win money at MTTs

Haven't forgotten this, just keen to give proper anwers rather than one-liners.

Will get back soon with PAHUD comments and the rest of them

Allow me to answer a question for you Rex.

For the micro players at Stars a very good game is the $2+.20 satelite to the Sunday 100 grand. 36 seat S'nG's award 6 seats to the 100K, and some bucks for 7th place. I have won a seat to these playing as few as 3 winning hands.

You can then play the 100K or convert to T$ by unregistering. You get $11 T$ doing this. T$ spend just like real money but can only be used in tourney's. At sites that don't allow you to unregister and collect value, well, change sites.

There are similar games at Tilt. Look under S'n'G's, Satelites at any site and you will likely find something similar. If you are a stickler for details you may find some that offer better value.

In all cases I have played, you can usually win with patience and not going in all maniacally agro.

Ok, here's a question, Say your a passive player, and this dude is constantly picking on your blinds, now you know, that this dude is raising with alot of hands, and u know that your J high is really not in a postion to play back at him, but due to your tight play in this tourney/mtt, is it fair enough to say that with 20 bbs left it's time to fight back at this player, constantly whenever he limps in or do we still just let him have our blinds?, and if we decided to fight back at him is there a min to fight back with in hand ranges or can we do it with any 2 cards, since you have been like a hermit in this game?

2nd is table image usuable to make big plays later on in a tourney/mtt, and since we know it is usuable, is there a table that should be used at it, or is it safe to say u can use it at any table?, and should u use your image to fight only the big stacks, small stacks, or all the stacks?

Nice Post Rex... I realize now how weak my MTT game is. I feel like I play too tight and never change gears. I hardly ever use the Re-raise which seems to be a powerful tool reading your post. In short it seems like Im fine till the Blinds really get Big and then Im just looking for a position to try to Double up.
Thanks for the insight and keep posting.
