I was looking for an article/book to read or even learning videos that would give me a strong pre-flop range strategy to implement while playing MTT's especially lower stakes tournaments. If anybody knows where I can find these resources for a solid pre-flop range strategy that would be much appreciated.

Thanks in advance.

Try looking for videos on youtube. There're a bunch of them, many players teaching how they play, what to do in which hand, hand analyzes. It's not hard to find.

Well when you are deep-stacked you can play much like you would at a cash game table and there is plenty of information out there on what cards to play from each position with a deep stack.

It is when you start getting short on chips due to increasing blinds that you have to start making adjustments to your ranges.

In these small stakes tournaments you will be mostly raising for value and betting for value... the deeper you get the more aggressive the other players will be.

You should identify who is waiting for monsters, who is stealing way too often etc. and adjust from there, throwing in some re-steal light three-bets/shoves against looser players to stay ahead of the blinds.

Make sure you know your push/fold ranges (just google 10BB push fold chart) but don't follow them so strictly you aren't adjusting for what you know about other players at your table.

Good luck to you! :D

To begin with, read the book of Harington there are indicated different strategies can be found on the Internet or bought in a bookstore?

If one goes all in w AA or KK, chances are they will win almost always regardless of position and chip count. And if a person loses to a crap hand, then people who know YOU...are a good player.

On the internet you have access to various information, you have to be careful because they can leave you confused, there is a lot of change in relation to the same content, the good was a paid course, for teaching to be solid, but most of the time it is expensive ... You will have lots of information, separate them and study again the ones you considered the best value.

if in the case you are in final position with for example: AA KK QQ AKo depedendo of the action of the others I would increase 3x the number of binds and +1 blinds to each player before me that called!

If you have a smartphone download Jonathan Littles App for push/fold. It's called float the turn poker. Use it when short stacked and you will do great. Try to get a feel for how stack size, antes, and position change your range. Combine this with your reads of the players around you and you will never fear being short stacked again.

On this site there is a table of starting hands and a guide to the starting hands. There is a detailed description of the range of starting hands and what actions you need to take if you are given a certain hand. It is also described in which position, how to act. I think this is what you need. Information in Russian, but the translator will help you translate all the material available on the page. PokerStarter is a very good site, there you will find answers to many of your questions.

In early position you need to play stronger hands, in late position you can play weaker hands as you will be last or next to last to act.

It is quite easy to find something that can help you for the beginning. So much easy, that there is even a good article here on CC site: https://www.cardschat.com/preflop-mistakes.php

Read the entire thing, it is very well written. I would add that these hands are not a must raise or must call hands in the spots stated in the article. You can adjust that range based on you style of play. Widen the ranges if you like to play aggressive, or narrow it if you prefer to play tighter.
If you are a beginner, try mixing it, to see how your play fits in regards to what is stated in the article :)
