Used to think this way myself.

Anything those guys say about MTT's is worth a listen, and a reread if you don't get it the first couple times. Bookmark the stuff that sounds cool but that you didn't get and go back to it later.

Their goals are pretty much the same as yours, with 4 more zeros after the significant digit.

I understand you feel this turned into a hate thread, but it's not. If you wanna learn to destroy MTT's, those are the guys who can teach you, and the rest of us are hoping you'll get back in there and keep posting and reading and learning.

My advice is that you should learn to ask questions that lead to good discussions that are appropriate to your level. Questions like: "what read would you need to stack off here and why?" Post your own HH's and ask the regs what additional information and reads you should be providing. If you let them know where you're at in your learning, what you understand and what you don't, they'll spell it out for you or at least give enough additional information that you'll be able to work it out for yourself.

Also, remember the search feature (use google with FTR domain, or FTR search) and find great threads from the past five years that address topics you're interested in. Another good search trick is to click on a name like chardrian. In the player profile, you can "view all posts by player" or "view all threads by player." Click on the "threads" and glance through the titles. Find some good topics where they started the discussion and see what you can learn. The funny thing is that lots of those guys were posting on FTR a few years ago when they were playing lower stakes, so some of their older posts will nail your current learning curve.
