I have yet to read a poker book or a golf book except for the "Little Red Book". But my Tourny stratagy is this. #1 This is going to take some time, so be prepared ( no distractions) #2 Play only blinds and button unless delt pairs, Then play like double dueces #3 only play if willing to go all in
Those are my basic rules.

I know you asked Ryan but I start with memorizing the UTG range (first memorize pocket pairs then offsuit hands then suited hands). Once I have that done I go to each next position and just memorize the added hands. It’s pretty easy until the button where it usually expands a lot.
I test myself constantly while playing. When I fold a hand In a certain position I say to myself “ok at this stack depth I would open XYZ” then I look at my phone and check myself. This also gives the appearance to my table mates that I’m just addicted to texting or Facebook and not paying attention to the action which I think is a good cover.

Play conseratively. If you have very aggressive opponents on your left you should limp instead of raise.
ICM in plo tournaments is very tricky, have to play very carefully near money bubble and when deep.

I bubble boyed the 1,204 member $50k max Omaha tournament freebuy yesterday.I just was scared to play top two pair because in Omaha things are crazy. Lost when I hit thrip 10's and opponet had a set on river for a full house.I need more tips on Omaha...I played aggressive and conservative came in 3 out of 1204 which pissed me off like no other.How should my bluffing frequency be? I almost never bluff in Omaha.

Hello...
My question is, do you keep player chat on or off? Do other players bug you with their crap attitudes or do you just ignore it. Do you screw with other players online at your tables or taunt them or no words at all? ..... Thank you.

Then join RunItOnce and go through their learning paths.
Then get the RaiseYourEdge "MasterClass" package.
Omaha = play tight pre, play aggressive post.
I keep it on, but dont really use it at all.

A lot of poker is understanding when to be tight and when to open up. Patience is very key!

Hi my question is I was running pretty deep in a $109 buyin turbo deepstack tournament last night with average stack and 15 BB left getting close to the bubble i limp in with 88 and facing an Allin against similar stack I call and lost a flip versus AK is this the correct play in this situation?? I made some mistakes during the tournament with over betting when I had nut flush on the river and playing premium pockets to aggressively post flop.

What kind of tourneys would you recommend for a player of a cash game background?
I have an edge on deep stacked play but I dislike playing long hours.
Also out of a higher gtd bigger pool tourney & a lower gtd lower player pool tourney what should you choose? (Same buyin)
Also as a cash player who wants to play tourneys on the side profitably, do you have an slight idea/suggestion of how much volume I should put & the ROI I should expect to have?
Also the tourney buyin limit in comparison with the stakes you are profitably playing cash? (Skill edge)
Ex - a winning 10NLer can play x max buyin tourneys with a skill edge

Should focus on small field, reg speed, preferably 6max, 8/9 ok as well. This will give you deep stacks but shorter length of play.
Volume depends on how much time and effort you can put towards it. Roi depends on a lot of factors as well, but id expect your early stages Evbb to be very good, so if you learn shorter stack play and ICM theory, you can do great.
Id expect a good winning 10nl player (7evbb+) to be able to do very well in early stages of mtt up to $55. But in order to convert to good winning player will have to learn other skills needed.

Hey potential! Happy new year to you and thank you for answering all the questions.
1) When is the time to only push/fold? 10 Bbs? 20bbs? Maybe even more?
2)How wide do you open when stealing blinds in late stages? When avg stack is like 25bbs. Only playable hands or also junk like 10-6 depending on the blinds?
E.g. tight players in the blinds, would u open any two if folded to you on the btn?
Thank you

Yes!
If you get coaching you can see increased play and understanding immediately, can take tome and volume to convert to successful results though!

1) ONLY? Under 10bb. Plenty of raising spots with 12bb+.
2)Depends on position and whos behind. I'd open any2 with bad tight players in blinds from btn.
