I read about wanting to find tables that are loose, but i feel I struggle once the table gets around 50% seeing the flop. I'm trying not to play tables so shortstacked so that I can play tighter amongst these players and these tables, but adjusting to looser play is something I struggle with. I've been working hard on tightening up my play this last month and it's showing great results. But I would agree, I need to learn to adjust better, I want to become a better MTT player and this is something I lack, I struggle to get going in a tournament...

As for running hot, yes I am playing better poker. But it's simply that I'm reading players a lot better now, I'm recognizing bets (he's trying to buy it, he's got a pocket pair against my two high cards, he's on a draw, etc...). I read DavSimon's post on MTT strategy and in it he said to write down what you think your opponents have on a given hand and then see how close you are. I've been doing it for 4 days now and my reads are getting incredibly closer. I don't know about you, but it's a great feeling when you simply outplay a player cause they don't have it and can't call you to prove that you do.

But I try to be humble, I can get better, I want to get better, and I will. I'm glad I found this site, because I don't think I'd be learning these lessons quite as quickly without it...
