Really wanting to play one haha Am out at the Celtic game 2 mor night, so won't be able to play any tomorrow, unless i can play one 2mor morning.
Yesterday only played for about an hour, played 2 tables of Cash at 4nl and one 1 quid DYM.
I made a small profit at cash, and bubbled the DYM lol open shoved KJ suited looked up by AQ which held.
No idea how anyone can make money at these, the £1 game the rake is 15%, the higher ones i think are 10%, with the rake it must be a night mare to make profit from these long term, you would need to have a massive win rate.
Played 5 HU Trbo games tonight won 4 lost 1, bankroll £137.58
The next time i play mtt's most likely Wed, i would like to get 3 in for no more than £7.
Going to try and stay focussed, play well and hopefully get a deep run in atleast 2. That's the plan, FT would be sweet too!
Played a pub game tonight for the first time in ages, ended up splitting the money in end, was a good fun night.
You have some record at MTT's i've not done it yet but i'm going to get a book on MTT's prob Winning a MTT one hand at a time, which some1 else suggested.
What would you say was the biggest thing in getting you to the standard you are at with MTTs?
And what would you say was the best thing for me to do to improve at MTTs?

Not really into poker books although i do have the volume 2 of this one.
The first volume is from the start of an MTT to the bubble and the 2nd volume from the bubble to taking it down with 3 chapters ( all from very different positions and chipstacks ). Found it pretty interesting though and you,ll certainly pick up 1 or 2 bits of good advice.
As ppl have suggested earlier if you are trying to improve i wouldn,t worry about results ( they will come in time) - but study your play and perfomances. You could play the greatest game you,ve ever played and still lose.
As you know variance play a huge part for MTT players and you can,t lose confidence if your on a bad run of results. Just keep trying to improve , which it seems your doing by starting this thread. There seems like a lot of good advice from some good players on here so just take it all in (better than books imo)
Yeah I read a couple of books but to be honest they just helped with overall game not specific to MTT's. What I would say is as most would say but position! I am pretty poor at this myself but every tournament I have taken down or run well in I have had my A game on position. I know it can become boring but opening with 56 suited UTG is not profitable after the first few levels. Play position and never be scared of making mistakes.
So my tips would be:
Position - Don't play out of it unless super strong or isolating a player Bet sizing - 3x open the first 2/4 levels then min open don't waste chips Aggression - Channel it you cannot win every hand you are in sometimes it's the hands you fold that win you the tournaments. Squeeze - Late on punish limpers, squeeze when it feels right. you don't always need the cards to do this but just make sure they can fold out of their stacks. Blinds - Don't become attached to them everyone has to pay them
Finally especially after the first 4/5 levels, if a player shows weakness bet/raise

Thanks Mp and Batkin really nice replies.
Going to start getting a whole lot more aggro later on. I'll try giving it a go and see what works when and refine it over time!
Going 2 play atleast 3 MTT's nice and fresh after my 4 day MTT break lol
Gonna try been a lot more aggro in the middle stages, which will take me out of my comfort zone, i know it's what i need to be doing, so will be a bit of trial and error!
Shame there isn't more regular low stake MTTs on here.
Just make sure you pick your spots carefully. Don't just go aggro mental. As much as possible try to make sure that you're in position when you go all aggro on their a$$, and this is stating the obvious and should be done in all hands, but think about what hands they could have, how they connect with the board and if your thoughts tell you it's unlikely they've connected then go for it, but don't just think F*k it, I'm gonna bluff X player in this hand no matter what.
In the Deepstack, i was down 2 2000 early doors, managed to grind it up to 15k maximum at one point. At 400-800 I had 12k and open shoved over a min raise, other player shoved, original raiser folded.
I had AQ Suited versus Pocket Aces. Out 22/80 plus.
Super standard ship there, just unlucky to run into a hand that has you completely crushed. Ya can even live with getting it in v KK... at least you're not in THAT bad shape but AA is just like urgh gg.

How many games have you played since yesterday?
I have played 8/10 games not 100% exact, I tend to play 2 to 3 at a time
