I started playing poker and learn it 2 years ago.For this time I saved a good bankroll for playing tournaments with 1-5,50 $ buy in.
I only play MTT and multitable SNGs, but even now I do not know what tournaments should.I need to advice what to play,
Thanks
Andrew

keeping and knowing data is great. dump non profitable tourneys and play ones you profit in. only play what makes you money in other words. but you have to know which by keeping stats on it.

If you get good play in these tournaments, I think you need to continue their play.

Play in multiple sites and pick best tournaments. Avoid pokerstars 180-mans at all cost, there's generally much better players than in other sites with similar sized field + bad bonuses. Also avoid playing just megafields: they're variance hell.

On PokerStars I play one multi-table tournament 2.25 Euro warranty 500 participants 400-470, it is quite feasible to reach the final table, I try to play tournaments involving no more than 1000 people,

It all depends on your bankroll , if you have 300-500 BI for MTTs , you can continue to play MTTs...If bankroll less 150 BIs only SNG...

Also the main factor this time, if you have a lot and on the day can play about 5-8 hours , choose MTT , if not have many time only SNG...

You also need patience, many people can not play for 7-8 hours and maintain concentration, the best option for them SNG..

It is also possible to mix example if you play 10 tables , 3 table for MTTs and other for SNG... My opinion should be more tables SNGs than MTTs

i think you should look at where you have where you have had success

turbo, superturbo, shallow, deep, large player pools, small player pools, etc

if you dont know i would stick with the "standard" formats

remember the faster the format the more icm, the deeper the stacks the more post flop skill

Hi Vizzi.

I would agree with Horizon, make sure you have the correct bankroll for whatever tournaments you play. Obviously it makes sense to stick to whatever tourneys/ format you find profitable AND ones you enjoy playing. After a while you will notice other regulars on the tourney, therefore how they play, it may give you an advantage!! :cheers: :cheers: :cheers: To move up to a higher level you need about 200Bins in my mind, although others may disagree................gl with your progress.........:D:D:D
