Larson, i like ur shove there AJ, was ul but with your stack and the action perfect move imo. After the 1 raise and 2 callers hate anything else when you have 17 bigs, even better you got called by a worse hand here so it shows you done the right move
I see so many post complaining at how some idiot has called with trash and sucked out (None on this thread thankfully) Here's a perfect example of why we love these types of players!
I hate this call, its a 3 bet or fold, just shows you how hard it is playing outa position.
Flop comes down Ace high, i thought i better check to the reraiser, and only call his bet!
On the turn i dont have a clue where i am check it down. On the river, i know its a paired board and the flush gets there, but i thought it was a bluff, after turn and rivers been checked and call,really bad call, really bad hand lol

The profit shown against each player is the sum of the profit taken from that player in each tournament and excludes rake. For example, if a profit of $80 was won in a 9 player tournament, then a profit of $10 was made from each other player in that tournament.
38.8% ITM is a very good record. It looks like your hobbling into a min cash too often tho.
Will quickly post up mine - +600ish for you to compare.

I had a horrid year last year so effects these stats. But as you can see, your stats are actually rather similar. Maybe just need to increase the volume. Obviously id imagine someone like tommyd or mattbates to dwarf what ive posted, but you stats there defo suggest you can beat the low stakes.
Whooops lol was tryin to paste my graph from Sharkscope.
I started playing when you could play Sky through SkyTV, i hardly even knew what the hands were.
I started understanding/ learning a bit more about poker at the back end of last year. A lot of the stuff on sharkscope is from the early days when i was still learning, sky's the only site i play on. I had a run where I won an MTT, came 2nd and final tabled another 1 all close in a row, these were b/hunters.
But in the last couple of months I have done nothing in MTT's, i do alrite in cash, but was wondering why recently i've been doing rubbish in MTTs. Looking at it, it's how i'm playing them, which is something imgoing to need to work on.
Included in sharkscope is a couple of entries into the main events, i've played 2 of these. Sharkscope prob has that down as being a buyin for these events, when i got in for only a couple of quid.
I know the graph looks bad, but to be honest i'm not that disapointed with it due to the time I've been playing "decent" poker then im prob not that far behind.
Thats why i fired up this thread.
So far it's not been the best of starts, played 3 tournies and done absolutely nothing.
It might be an idea for me to get stuck into satelites, the standard in the mini was way higher than the type of Bountyhunters i normally play in.
Didnt play any tournies today, next chance i'll get will prob be wed night.
Just wondering, any advice on playing MTT's,
I'm going to try and start playing tigher early doors expanding my range later on. I seem when i get a deep run in tournies and get in the money to fizzle out pretty fast. Probably from not playing aggressive enough in the run up to the bubble.
I am going to try and get more value, but it's a hard call between what will get paid off and what wont.
I've also learned to shove or fold the later stages, instead of limping in/ raising to not hit the flop.
Donald, I'm not having a go, your MTT record is very good (much better than mine) but you've said he might be hobbling into a mincash too much with an ITM of 38% (which I completely agree with) but yours is 42%
Larson, you want a big ROI (obv) and a smaller ITM, maybe like 15-20%
Here's mine FWIW, over a tiny sample cos I never play MTTs on Sky (450 over like 4-5 years)
It's so hard to say Larson cos it massively depends on your table. Some times you have to be alot more selective, and pick your spots to play bigger pots with a narrower range because the table is very aggro, while sometimes you can pick up tons of small pots because everyone is playing too tight.
The key thing is you want to be able to bully people on the bubble, and no matter how good you are you lose a lot of your ability to do that unless you've built a big stack ready for the bubble. If you aint got a great stack around the bubble, then depending on how the table is playing you may have to be a bit more cautious around the bubble, but your real aim is to get to the bubble with a big stack, then turn it into a massive stack by ripping it up on the bubble.

Yeah a huge early weakness of mine, infact until about last year i hobbled into a min cash loads - can admit to mistakes.

Exit hand from deepstack, set over set, in the satelite, all in with ace q, (into a limped pot) 3 callers, ace 8 held up.
Flopped a set, got it all in 2 callers,
Guy had flopped a straight,
Sucked out to hit my house on river
I'll post up some hands later on, I was playing way to passive and a lot tighter than usual.
This is a funny hand here, I call the flop.
