When someone like MrSmokey pushes over a big reraise, um probably time to leave when it's this early in the tourney. Poker gods say bad fold since the K came on the flop. I would probably call since I'm a low stakes donkey and I'm use to bad players pushing with a very wide range in this situation. I would also get a boner thinking that I had a chance to bust MrSmokey.

Hey guy i am SuperAstaroth on FTP i was talking to you in the 750k last night, wanna give me your thoughts on this hand?

I have 20k chips left, blinds are 1,000 / 2,000 with some amount of antes, either way im starting to get in trouble here with every orbit - 173 left (261 paid). I am in the CO with A10os, another shorty with 26k pushes from UTG+1 and it foled around to me... he has me covered.

Is this borderline / easy fold / easy call given situation?

easy fold, 26k is not that desperate so you're up against something like AJ+/77+.

I saw those $109 hands, sick.

-I'm guessing you're playing on other sites as well? I can't find 8-12 on stars at a time unless you're playing 180s?

Unsure about river c/r or just bet. Opps b/c is pretty horrible obv. My default line is to lead this flop, sometimes c/c and lead turn.

Tough spot, 30/560 left in Mulligan, avg around 40-50k. Just calling seems too weak but a push feels -ev (tight utg range, trappy(?) cold call).

Why aren't you raising preflop?

You just turned JJ into 66 (a hand to play for set value only).

Would you shove TT in that spot? 99?

You answered my question with a question I don't understand.

If your range on your UTG opp is 99+, AK. Then you are playing for set value, the set didn't come, easy fold.

If your range on utg is wider, than the CO (whosehouse) just set you up perfectly for the squeeze which I don't understand why you aren't using. Raise to like 24 k. If UTG repops, you have enough room to fold. If he folds - yay! you just increassd your stack by close to 25%.

I don't like raise/fold because it doesn't use the hand value (I could play atc like this).

Raise/call seems -ev but I'm too lazy right now to calculate it.

lol any good hands with belowabove?

And johnny, you are way more aggressive and play a lot more streets than im used to in MTT's. It just confuses me as a whole, do you think being aggressive 40bb+ deep exploits donk players a lot?

I don't think I play very loose.. Of course I play more in position when stacks are deeper.

lil is very aggressive and I'm sure he'll value bet TT+ in this spot a lot..

Okay, well what im confused about is I see a lot more turn and river aggression and play with you and also challenging bigger stacks and not just raise/cbet and then give up mode which I think is interesting.

Hey johnny, the 77 hand where you called AI 4 ways with below and Bax in the pot; on the thread in p5s both below and Bax said you should have folded... Can you find a reason for their argument, do you think they are flat out 100% wrong? I wish they had posted more reasoning because it's hard to differentiate what is "correct" between JFish playing 77 for pot odds and two elite mtt players saying it's a fold, an easy one at that.

I agree with them now. I overestimated how much value a big stack has.. E.g. having an average stack 4 times is more valuable than 1 time a 4xavg stack.

Cool.

-What do you think makes a great mtt player...great?

-What makes you so good?

-Lets put your skill level on a scale and say that you are a 10/10 mtt player - what changes happened in your game from 5/10 untill now?

-Advice on games to play to build a bankroll?

Im thinking of playing a few MTTs along with my main cahs game. Buyin up to $50 maybe.

Goat, I'm not one to be able to answer your question, but I did find this slightly interesting.

i began reading a few days ago and only made it to the 4th apragraph. better read on so.

I just got to thinking coz i watched zpace_man play a MTT on CR vid and mentioned PP was good coz some gauranteed money games had only 180 entrants or so. I can only really play weekends really coz most good weekday game are geared towards US timezone (tho if there are any about 7pm GMT tell me plz)

Successful poker is about correctly adjusting to new situations and make consistently good decisions. Great mtt players recognize opportunities and take them.

My push/fold game is close to perfect imo, early stage play is fine too, and I have a relatively (compared to avg tournament player) good postflop game. There's a decent edge when it's shorthanded too because most tournament players are used to full ring.

I'm nowhere 10/10, I could improve a lot on my reads for example.

The thing that helped me improve the most was playing sng's.

First start at sng's. Just start at the lowest and grind until you can beat the 26s or something. After that you'll probably have the br and skill set to beat mtt's up to 50$.

I see absolutely retarded stuff at Party, but my Roi is still the highest at Stars, even though the overall playing level is higher (software is great too). I'd just play anything between 20-50$ at Stars if I were you. I wouldn't play cash and tournaments at the same time though. gl

Thanks for the input - We were at the same $20 FO last night stars, I was pissed when I saw you go out 27th or something, it would have been cool to FT it with you.

- What do you think are additional skills needed to be a a winner at the $50+s?

As more and more online players are getting more and more sophisticated (i.e. most now understand what M is), the most important skill is learning to play the players at your table rather than just playing position and cards.

There will always be that glorious rare tourney where you just get hit in the face with cards and as long as you don't donk em off, you will go far.

But for the vast majority of tourneys you need to learn how to gain chips without cards. Doing that means that you have to learn how to play players.
