This is one of the most difficult tourney that I have registered!Every hand has a raise or re-raise,the players are thougher and the chances to get the buble is almost impossible.I think that this is a tourney with too much skill players and some PRO players too.I feel happy to play in the middle of professionals but I recognize that I need to study more to become a moneyguy.:icon_stud:icon_stud.

You described "every hand" was a raise or re-raise, that is pretty standard poker (not so much the re-raise). You shouldn't enter a pot that hasn't been opened without a raise. That is just how people are taught to play poker.

If this type of play bothers you, that usually means that you are playing too loose. Never heard of anyone worried about a raise with AA, KK, QQ, AK. Perhaps you should check your range and what starting hands you are looking at playing.

Agree, I always try to enter a pot with a raise, except occasional limps to trap/balance my trapping range with good hands. Also sometimes I complete in the small blind with marginal hands trying to just see a pot. Otherwise it's always a raise for me. It's easy to be scared off when you see raises and 3bets, but once you get used to it, it comes much more naturally and seems fishy when people don't do that

Whenever you are at such type of tables then the standard approach is to build your image as an tight player who only enters into the pot with monster hands and never bluff.Once you win 2-3 hands by your image just change your image from Tight to loose one and you will find players giving you respect on your bluffs too.

I played that tournament 1 time at my table most were making crazy bets, you will not always find strong players, I realized that no matter how much is the entrance of a tournament, you will always find players who believe they play a free tournament

You doubled your buy in, that's great!
How long did it take though?

Micro-stakes can be a great learning tool but they are still a giant waste of time.

Build your bankroll through any means necessary and move up as fast as you can afford it.

Great job!!

It has too many participants every day, way more than any other tournament of similar buy-in or even the smallest buy-in in this room. It looks like a freeroll, field-size. And it's not surprising, considering how many of tickets are given away for almost nothing in satellites. So it's full of very bad or new players who as far as I noticed treat it as any other 3 minute blind level freeroll, they just giving away stacks with mediocre hands or even with bluffs :eek: and mind you, that's deepstack with 12 minutes blinds. So I don't consider this to be a difficult tourney. That being said I managed to bubble, exactly bubble lol all my deep runs there. But still, I consider it soft, you need just a lot of time and patience in order to succeed in it.

Great job!!

you say it is a strong poker but you are very far from reality I do not see any pro player or anything like that playing these tournaments remember something in poker the first thing I learned was that if I'm going to enter a hand I must do it by climbing and / or rising never equaling because you give your opponents a lot of chances equal on the flop that you do not flirt does not mean you lost the hand you should know how to make continuation bets and play from position obviously study your opponents

I need more study,you are right! That's just an ilusion.I'm poor and when I see too much money in the prize I imagine myself at the final table but in the reality I'm far from that.

I would say that at least the first two hours is full of players who do not mind going there in the first hand. After that time if reasonable players remain. It is a difficult tournament to play because everyone is willing to commit to everyin in each pot at least in the quiet area of ​​the tournament

I had a $33 ticket won via wheel. I used that ticket on 25th August and finished at 27th place winning $94.
It took 6 hours to reach at 27th place.
