I want to change my MTT strategy.
Up till now I used "Kill Phil" strategy which is basically: The less your stack is compared to blinds - the more aggressively you must play.
This means that in the beginning of tournament you are passive and in the end you play many coin flips.
So, if you loose, it happens at the later stages of tourney and you waste much time. To win you must risk your stack many times at later stages going all in.
Different strategy is to play very aggressively in the beggining of tournament and try to get huge stack and domintate the table.
In that case, if you loose, you do it quickly and do not waste much time, but if you are lucky you can play relatively safe and dominate the table.
I see two ways of dominating:
1) If you have huge stack advantage, you can simply go AI every time, cause villains will risk all their stack on every coin flip.
2) If you have large stack advantage you can combine big bets with any half decent hole cards and big scary c-bets and sometimes all in.
But all this is my reasoning, I would be happy to hear your thoughts.
May be there is some good books about this style of play ?
