Mike do you have similar success in freezouts without R&A's? I shy away from the R&A's because I am cheap I guess. I also can't stand the first hour when everyone is in gamble mode. It just gets silly. I have made a few final tables but not BIG scores on MTT's. If I get my hands on some chips I can stick around a long time. However, I usually end up with nothing more than an average stack and after the second or third break it is nothing but AI or fold. The MTT's seem to turn into repeated coin flips in later rounds. If you win the coinflips you are golden, if not, I'm on the rail.

I can't tell you how many times I have taken a huge hit when JJ, QQ or KK goes down in flames to a weak Ace. The other problem I find online is people make the worst/loosest calls ever ie. people play K10, A9 like they were gold which makes it dangerous to bluff often.

I love MTT's. I think they are the most exciting when you get into the later rounds and every single hand can make or break you. I just can't seem to make a lot of money yet.

Your post is well written and very similar to my style. I just have not hit it big yet.
