MTT strategy.. too tight?

#1 29th January 2009, 12:29 PM

I recently started playing PokerStars again. I started from nothing and got lucky and won 1, which accounts for my bankroll. I've been playing exclusively micro levels on the MTTs. When I reviewed my stats, I started to wonder if I'm playing too tight at the middle stages and hindering my chances to go deep in the game. I always play tight early, but maybe I'm not being aggressive enough later. With this small sample, can you give me an opinion?

The losing tourneys aren't listed, but they're all micro

Also, I think the high ITM rate is good... but, is it? That's one of the things that I was looking at. If I'm cashing that often, am I not being aggressive enough before I get to the bubble. Because, even with that high ITM, I'm not making much profit. All the profit came from the 1 win.

Marty thats what i noticed you got one place at 407 $ and then yo got like 8$ from a 2$ buying tournament. I would recommend really much more agresive play if you want to get closer to the good money.

When I tell you that all of the profit came in 1 out of 81 tourneys, that's nothing to brag about IMO I really wonder if successful MTT player's stats trend anything like this. I get the feeling that the really good MTT players tend to have lower percent ITM and higher average finishes when ITM.
