What you need to win MTT

[MoeJurphy]

I think we need more patience in such situations. Just waiting your time, and be cool.
I use this way: when small prizes already begun, I closes lobby, and just no looking how more players left and what prizes are ... just playing poker.
Then, when nice prizes started, I prefer still no looking on players numbers, but keep more attention on my table.

When you're just running card dead would you rather blind down until given a premium hand or try to make a move with say J9o?

 

[dimebag_hann]

Patience and attention. Sometimes i play while watch TV or do other things at the same time. It's not help.

 

[Fish2014]

I congratulate you very good information if all applied this to our safe game everyone would reach final table We must survive the initial phase phase 3 phases in the tournaments middle and end is good to know that you have to do at each stage

In this case I would push J9o
It is not necessary wait till last chips in MTT for premium hand. J9o is nice hand when you are small. Better something suited but of - suite 2 near cards good as well.

This is a situation I find myself in too often, making me push with J7o with 5bb lol

What happened more, lose or win? Are you double ups ?

 

[ScoobyNL]

i read that the best way to get ITM at tourney is to avoid big pots in the first hours.

My game is to get a quick double up in the first few hours, because i play more relaxt.

On average this is how I bust post bubble and only min cash, I am normally in good shape post bubble with 30bb+ enough room to play about, I've done both tighten up and loosen up to steal and try to increase my stack. Blinding down and waiting for a premium hand is dangerous if you never get the A10+ 1010+ and find myself shoving bad with say J7o and busting. If I loosen up my A9o runs into AJ+ 10bb- effective stack. Just variance really never seem to win flips when i need to one day!

I never play to just get ITM always play to win, this means havign all your chips in the pot at some points. Avoiding big pots to just reach the money is such a bad look on it in the long run more profitable to just play SNGs. MTT we play to come 1st.

Folded down to 16bb find pocket aces and get destroyed.

 

[Damianoost]

Definitely play to win, unless you feel you stuck and want to outrun the bubble

No required information in your words, dude. Sorry, but try something different in growing number of your posts.

 

[IronHaji1989]

Great review

 

[cliffordsimak]

I think what Bogdan said, is more than enough to win.
Observe the opponents, and more time to observe.

good tips, mate

The Secret Of The 1%
And so it is that we’ve come to the big secret. This is the
insight that bought Phil Galfond a Manhattan apartment with a
custom-built metal slide and the insight that keeps the rest of the
poker community fighting over scraps.
Poker is not a game of people played with cards. It’s not about
knowing when to hold’em and when to fold ‘em. It’s not about
trying to make hands and stack people. It’s not about playing tight.
It’s not about being patient. It’s not about bullying people. It’s not
about being the most aggressive player at the table. It’s not about
any phony ideas like these that lie at the heart of 99 percent of
players’ strategies.
Like all other gambling games, no-limit hold’em is a game of
frequencies. The math of the game dictates that you check, fold,
call, bet, and raise in all situations with specific basic frequencies.
These frequencies are all but impossible to exactly solve for. But if
you are satisfied with just getting close to the right frequencies, you
should be satisfied with that (at least if you would like a custombuilt
metal slide). It’s actually not that hard.
If your frequencies are more correct than the players you play with,
you will win their money.
Run over that last sentence with a highlighter. It’s true. Yet if you
are unused to thinking about poker this way, you probably won’t
believe it at first. That’s ok. The rest of the book is devoted to
getting you to buy into what that sentence means and its
implications.
The rest of your poker career should be devoted to figuring out
how to make your play take maximum advantage of that idea.
If your frequencies are more correct than the players you play with,
you will win their money

I thought that you were just trolling random inspirational quotes, but now I see the light. You are not of this world, and you need your own thread.

Patience early, but towards the middle-end, you have to be willing to die.

Very good topic, recently participated in a coach that emphasized position, stack, villain profile.
