mods, i apologize if this is in the wrong spot.
*this is not a brag post and i absolutely despise the fact that it does sound like i'm bragging, because i'm not. i am just a casual microstakes mtt player that plays for fun and has had a fair amount success with it.
it's also important to note that i am not trying to provide strategy or training videos because a) i'm definitely not qualified and b) we already have a lot of professional players that provide really, really good content for that. instead, i want to provide a look at how a casual player approaches the microstakes tournaments. this will be more geared towards players that like to to play fun, that aren't interesting in grinding 1000s of mtts in a month, or trying to move up in higher stakes but maybe they're struggling at the microstakes.
it's impossible to say that some strategy, training, teaching moments wont come from the videos as i would like to provide my own insight on how i play but i'm not saying "this is how you should play". it's more like "this is how i play" and maybe some members can pick something up from it.*
the reason for this post is because i want to ask the members of cc 2 questions:
i started playing poker again on BOL, starting march 7th. here are some of my stats so far:
in no way do i think that my 33 final tables in 110 mtt cashes is anything special because a) these are really small fields that i play compared to sites like pokerstars and b) obviously it is easer to get through significantly smaller fields. while i put myself at a disadvantage when i late register for 25 bbs or less, there is still an average of ~75 players i no longer have worry about.
that's it. hopefully i provided enough information on why i might be qualified for something like this. and i'm using 'qualified' very loosely. i'm not 100% convinced if this is something i want to do but if demand for watching a casual microstakes mtt player is there, i will really consider it.

the reason for this post is because i want to ask the members of cc 2 questions:
- do you think i am qualified to do something like this?
- would you be interested in watching of how i play microstakes mtts?
i started playing poker again on BOL, starting march 7th. here are some of my stats so far:
- played an equivalent of 615 mtts (i count re-entries as their own mtt since i pay rake)
- i play mostly $0-$2 mtts, a few times as high as $5 mtts.
- ~18% itm finish, ~110 cashes (i think BOL pays 18% of the field)
- 33 final tables with 15 top 3 finishes (i mostly play 9 seat mtts)
- 1st: 2, 2nd: 11, 3rd: 2 (obv, i need to improve my heads-up game)
- total profit of ~$325 (would be more if i wasn't so spewy with late reg buy-ins, but that's not the point)
- average starting mtt field size of ~250 players
- ~30% of field reduction during late registration = 175 players
- odds of making final 9/175 = 5%
- 110 cashes x 5% = ~5-6 final tables.
- 33 fts/110 cashes = 30% final table finishes
- odds of making top 3/9 = 33%
- i've made top 3 45% of time time.
in no way do i think that my 33 final tables in 110 mtt cashes is anything special because a) these are really small fields that i play compared to sites like pokerstars and b) obviously it is easer to get through significantly smaller fields. while i put myself at a disadvantage when i late register for 25 bbs or less, there is still an average of ~75 players i no longer have worry about.
