In the beginning of a mtt you look for the good starters, finding their range as you know is impossible 72 to AA and as usual it's 72 or any two cards. Your always looking for a nice rush to help your range to open, then you can play a few more pots. The possibilities are out there it's the waiting that can make us falter and get over active in wrong hands

I tend to have an open range in the beginning and don't mind calling with some hands. I'm looking to stack someone early with a disguised hand. The early blinds don't add up to much unless you're after the "dead money". This is were the biggest and most mistakes are made and the pots where you scratch your head and ask "huh?".

I play a TAG style early in an mtt as the blinds don't account for much. Later when antes and blinds are big, ill loosen up in late position to try to take blinds.

Hy
the first 2 blind levels I take a little wider range, since it´s not too expancive. I do math´s strictly and keep counting the BB´s. An OR for 6 BB when 40/20 is not much chips in total but it´s still 6 BB! So calculate ! :confused:
But then I play super tight until ante are set, from that on I sometimes try to steal the blinds. :cool:
Don´t play loose in the beginning of a mtt !!!
