Well all as you all know I chocked in The Sunday Mill, but that's not the Worst part, I mean damn The play was so weak by my oppents that I mean damn, I can't believe that I didn't make it deep with-in it, but oh well, I made it far enough, being that almost 7k registered, and I made it to 2k left, I don't think I did all that bad. Now as for my Pro's, and Cons, I would like tips to improving my game, I mean yes I bluffed hard core early on in the tourney, which made me chip leader of my table, but then again, I bluffed like 6 hands in a row which left some ppl wanting to look me up, and then I started getting the all ins right off the hop when the pot was big enough and I just had 1 pair so I chicked out, so you can take that as a pro or a con, now, I slow played way to much which cost me dearly with them hitting there rrr flushs, or there rr straights while I held top 2 pair, and so forth and so on, my overall question is what works for you all when u play in a mtt, and can u plz share it with me, I swear my passive self, wasn't as passive as I thought I'd be, I mean damn, I don't normally push all in with KQ suited, when I'm at like 22k in chips but those where the moves I was making with 22 bb's left, but u live and learn, I got there 2 when I ran into AJ, and my last hand I lost with a bluf, of all in when my, A/3 off ran into A/Q, lol, so plz tell me what works for you all ty

Wasn't there some successful tournament pro who said that in the first hour of a tournament you only play the top 9 hands? I suppose if I win a sat to the big show I would probably try that, assuming I could get out of the habit of wanting to play everytime I have suited connectors.

That's how I usually am also but I swear I was like a mad man:D , 4 bet reraiseing blluffing get called, got some bunk in my hand like 10/7 off, lol, flop was all overs, oppent bets, I again reraise he then reraised (and mind you this was between me as, 2nd in chips on my table, and first in chips, lol, and then he rereraised, and I really just pushed, all in:D, with my all powerful, 10/7, and he folds), so I mean this isn't my normal plays in any event but I had to try it on him, but your right bluffing is how I went up and bluffing is also how I went out

I knowwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwww, I mean it's like your first big fist fight, and you get the butterflys, so your all pumped up, I was like I got to bluff, reraise, take more pots, see more, and then bluff preflop, to a reraise, just so I can get some, more pots down early on and get a image, As a player that doesn't like to get raised on his BB, SB, or button, ya right, overall dumb plan, hahahahahaha, and it failed, words can-not express it, hahahaha
