Hi guys,
I hesitated to post here, maybe I should look better, but I'd like to listen to your opinions.
I participate in local weekly tournament outside of casino or poker club, in a country where poker isn't really that popular, so players aren't really that good. I'm also not too good either and I luck experience in full ring tournaments (I've played a lot low stakes drunk cash games usually 6 handed without giving that much thought about the way how I play and I try to learn for few months now).
The structure is 12k starting stack, 15 minutes blinds up (up to level 7), unlimited rebuys (up to level 7), starting BBs for few levels: 100, 150, 200, 300, 400.
Up to level 7 people play extremely loose and tend to rebuy few times, so they all-in many times. The play tightens after lvl 7, and when only 2 tables are left finally the game starts to be reasonably tight.
I'm trying to figure out how should I play up till lvl 7 especially when I'm out of luck and can't hit decent hand for longer period of time. If I manage to get decent hand from the tight section from this infografic - https://1ednx3tnfmz1xmk99kw15ns1-wp...2016/08/PreFlopInfographic2-1-633x1920@2x.png - once in 6 deals then I'm usually fine and can work my way to double up quite fast, but the biggest problem I have is when I don't get anything decent enough.
Should I try to move all-in by playing loosely, hitting the flop hoping my hand is strong enough and double up faster, so that I can then slow down and wait for better hands? Or should I continue to play tightly, and go for all-in only when I'm 30% of starting stack left (so that I can rebuy and start again)?
Last year those tournaments had 20 mins blinds up and started with one level more and I was doing much better. I've also participated in few bigger tournaments with the 30 mins blinds up and bigger stack and I was able to just wait an hour or two if I got shitty hands 95% of time at the beginning and fight my way up later, but it seems that it's not possible now when blinds up are only 15 mins and the rebuys are quite cheap, so people play loosely.
I appreciate any links to the discussions. I've found some, but it seems not to fit well to my situation (key elements I think - very low experience players playing super loosely always).
Regards
