after this I had KJ and shoved no callers and then Qc8c with a big blind call with Kc10c and he hit two pair.
enjoyed the game don't think I done too much wrong, played one or two bluffs that never paid off but got away before I one tooo much damage.
played the 2.20 @ 2.20 too help boost rainmans numbers, low stacked most of the game never really built a stack, was too and from the table for the first hour.
well so far from last night and one today i have played 5 mtt's and one dym.
i have cashed in all... wait..... none of them.. am i that bad?
playing the mega roller tomorrow which i cant wait for, now doughting my abilaty which knocks my confidence a little.. must admit. i dont think ill have many goes at this tourny unless i sat like i did.
so for anyone reading, if you could what advice would u give too approaching this game tomorrow night?
any tips or advice would be muchly appreciated...... now if your playing please dont tell me bad tips lol so i go out quickly.
There are players far better suited to give advice on MTT's than myself, i've only played in one £110 BI main event on sky, and that's cause i was in through a free roll.
Mostly just enjoy it and the experience.
When i played it, at my table was |James| a really high stakes cash player, as well as 1 other top notch Cash player and a top notch MTT player. At first it was a bit daunting having all these good players at the table, but i soon found my rythym. Just treat it like any other MTT, play your game and hopefully run awesome!
I would play Tight and Aggresive in the early stages, then open up a bit when blinds starting going up. In the first 2 hours even if you are not involved in many hands it won't mater in the slightest as the blinds are so low.

cheers mate for the advice.
not much success in my challenge so far but early days yet.
good result for the Bhoys today just need too keep up they performances for when they matter. hail hail
so played the mega roller last night and the mini.
Just couldn't get going in the mega at all. felt I played ok didn't get out of line too much. just a lot of players making straights and flushes against me, I know most of the time they will miss what there chasing, and me having things like 2 pairs and tp with tk, finding myself having too slow right down on the turn, just one of those nights I think.
or I could be very wrong, my exit hand I should not have been involved in I think TBH.
as for the mini, went really well at first and was sitting in the top 2o for the first part of the tournament, got QQ was raised up, I re-raise then I get re-raised???? now I know this screams I think, KK or AA anyone folding here? he had me covered aswell. He id have AA and that was that over.
anyway, played the heads up games aswell with benc and got spanked 3-0 vgp. although I feel I done ok he was ahead when it counted. TpTk into overpair then Tp K kicker into TpTk and he had the J over my pocket 99's. But was a tough game. relised I was in trouble when I searched him and sen he was playing a gd few hyper Hu games at higher stakes than I would ever choose lol........ just knew it would be tough. hey who wants easy!!
well heres a hand from the megan one of those river ones lol any advice on this would be great.
Lost the minimum if anything in that hand above definitely cbetting and betting the turn in that spot so many draws and 10x that don't like to fold paying us off, i probably put in a smallish value bet with intention of bet/folding trying to get value from aload of jx 10x hands that have flatted from bb. Will keep an eye on this thread, good games by the way, a couple of tips keep your bet sizing consistent regardless of range i.e stick to 2x 2.5x or 3x for all your range rather than 2xing some hands 4xing others, good luck improving your game sure with your enthuiasm you will do well just get the volume in.
This is something I have been working on as I always min raised connectors 67 _ 9 10 amd 3x things like QK _AJ and 4xthings like JJ_AA. I have relised recently from forum input this is not good and trying too be more cosistant. With my raising ranges.
Playing the turbo tonight. Won a seat through ricorford so thanks for that. Must try and do better than a min cash.
Will be playing tye mini aswell so that will be anither £5.50 so really need a cash or my BR will be quite lol.
anyway at work just now. So will be on tonight to update what else I wil be up too.
Why do you change you bet sizing pre flop? Keep it the same keep em guessing. A semi decent player will pick up on this in no time. Either min always, 3x or 4x .
At your table in Dtd last and you seemed to enjoy it anyway. At least you had a front row seat of tilt in action when that guy lost a big pot to a bad beat on his left then decided to ai for 40+ bbs whenever he bet . As you saw he was out within 6 more hands. Learn to take the bad beat and not tilt.
enjoyed last night, so BR up too £74 got my cfp bonus in but only £2, does me.
so ran well last night in the main, my biggest ever run and cash TBH on skypoker, apart from a gd run on two cash tables where I made £106 over 2 tables in a short period of time where I left before I lost it all.
had a bit of run good as I got it twice I can remember being behind but got the flip,
AQ v AK and I hit the Q. opposite from my mini hand except I was on the other side.
then again I got It in with A10 v AJ, and pinged the 10 on the flop. these where my main two double ups that kept me going.
have never been so nervous, as kept getting deep deeper, but a little disappointed I couldn't make it for the last hour. went out around 10:53 lol so just missed out. on the tv side of things and thought I would miby have got the last longer aswell but just missed out on that aswell.
Nearly 2 main events for free in the one week as I got my seat through ricorford on his diary.
so overall 13th out of 676 runners so I must have been doing something right and am improving slightly and that is down too all the advice from all u in the forum and reading this, so thank you.
Was a great experience and has boosted my confidence a bit as I was starting too feel I wasn't getting anywhere, as I watched my BR get lower and lower with 0 cashes. Team TPT where there all the way giving rail which was also great and a wee feel good factor, something about people cheering you on, people I have never met and now have the privilege of knowing now and playing with.
So got the TPT private game tonight so looking forward too that and hopefully another cash too add at the end of it.
Thnks for the input benc. This is something I have been working on as I always min raised connectors 67 _ 9 10 amd 3x things like QK _AJ and 4xthings like JJ_AA.

Eek, as has already been mentioned a half decent player will probably spot this within a few orbits of playing against you. Try to make your raises consistent no matter what the hand. The probable exception being if you're raising in late position you might want to only raise 2x and in later stages of tourneys in position against better players 2x is often enough. IMO obviously.
