Is it really that hard...
On the contrast to lower buy in tournaments yes you find looser and less poker orientated players but on the contrast if we are talking online $109.00
or the sunday million, the nightly 100k and so forth in general $80 to $220.00 for a tournament Ive been playing Higher buy ins since ive been back working full time. and have circumstances to play for enjoyment purposes as per no longer dailly.
Personally the fields are a bit smaller most players are playing an optimal range and adjusting to each players requirements and assumed game or image.
so It tends to go along the lines of tight players pick up blinds easy or early raisers pick up blinds easy, since those multi tabling just look at an early raise and guess most the time its going to be strong,
so since the late raisers get playerd back at and the early raisers are gaining more respect,
and post flop again people are assuming your range based on how your playing so if the board is reppable to your range you can continue otherwise your going to have a hard time C-betting AK on a low board, or a pair on a connected wet board.
And its just a realisation that everything is constantly adjusting and adapting to styles and using player images to make decisions.
once you are in control of this, you can pretty much pick up enough blinds and loose cash by playing position extremely well. (what I find works well) is playing tricks on laggy or observant opponents, where they always get drawn into re-raising or betting big on the river because the past two streets have not represented the hand you have, or maybe its just they Feel they can get you off a hand no realising you can anticipate the range they have is usually weaker than the hand you have.
Im not going to go on forever and ofcourse this is just my oppinion on what has been working well and on how i'm finding playing these tournaments, over smaller games
(much more enjoyable)
