Hello, quick question all.
As iv said before i'm a big fan of MTT's and even the MTT SnG's.
I prefare playing in the MTT's where the rounds are 15minutes as you actually have time to sit back and wait rather than having the push with your half decent cards as the blinds keep creeping up on you relative to your stack size. I hate feeling rushed in MTT's and pressured into playing hands i normally wouldn't but feel half the time at least i'm having to do so. I understand there are times you must push and times to sit back etc, but it seems to much pushing and luck drawing to continue in the tournaments.
I'm just wondering what the difference between LIVE tournaments and online ones apart from the obvious of actually being slower in terms of cards being dealt, body language etc.
What exactly are the blind rounds and stacking chip sizes? I'v heard some tournaments give 2hours of a certain blind size!! true or not i dont know?
I am a patient player and can wait in the longer rounds in on-line tournaments and can go quite deep regularly. I'm a tight player but play aggressive when i have the hands to back it up, I'm not just one who will try limp in the money and do go for final table every time.
The same applies to the 10 minute SnG's, although in my eyes they are still too fast. I hate the turbo games as i think its more luck involved than picking of your oponants with good hands in the longer rounds.
Ideally i'd like to find an online tournaments thast offers bigger starting stacks aswell as longer blind rounds, like maybe 30minutes i think i'd be a lot more succesful in than the 10minute rounds. I'm a player on pokerstars but cant seem to find any...is it just not heard of in online MTT's?
Thanks in advance.
