Many newcomers are looking for a simple guide to start learning to play poker MTTs PREFLOP.
NOTHING advanced that may require reads or skill AT ALL!!!!!!
So just for them I'm posting this thread and welcome any insights from other CC members
Preflop only 9-10 seats
Start by playing strictlyAA,KK,QQ,AK suited, JJ ,1010, AQ suited AJ suited KQ suited
Wait for a top ten hand always raise 3x+ and/or reraise 2.5x+ /possibly all in preflop.
Fold Kq and AJ to preflop raises
fold everything else alot ,
no suited connectors,
no small pairs........... unless under 10bbs and shoving all in preflop
fold fold fold alot
When under 10 BB in cutoff or button position Shove all in with any Ax+ k10+ hoping for a blind steal.
This will only get you so far as an ABC strategy in 10-9 man tables
Beware*
This ABC strategy will make you completely predictable to great players
short handed play
understanding your opponents strategy tendancys and tells is another story Against low stakes opponents they are usually too involved in what cards they have as to notice an opponents PFR frequency or range.
Phill hellmuth wrote a small 2-4 page chapter on how to win MTTS in his book Phill Hellmuth's guide to limit holdem is definitely the greatest read I've had for poker GT.
there is no shortcut to this infinite game.
Some people are learning to play the cards while others are now learning to play without them.
Have fun out there its a big ocean
