I haven't been posting as much lately as I'm deep in pre-production for a short film I'm making in association with the BFI. I should be more active in a week or so, but questions are always welcome, or even just talking points such as the one Mike brought up.

That was one long week.
Apologies for neglecting this thread. I have been busy with filmy stuff, but it all seems to be winding down a bit now. If anyone cares for this sort of thing, here is a film we made for BFI Future Film that was supposed to premiere at the Prince Charles Cinema this month: http://vimeo.com/willderitter/growingpains
Anyways, I'll be dipping in and out of this thread when I can (again), so any MTT questions are welcome.
Wilhelm - I like and agree with a lot you say and most can be used for low buy to higher buyin tournaments but I would question or maybe put some caveats on post flop bet sizing. I think your sizing are correct for a mid to high buyin tourny but not for low, I think you should be adding around 20% to everything you say.

Hi crassh
If you suspect players in low buy-in MTTs are calling wider than is the norm, then tightening up while making your bets slightly larger than usual probably isn't a bad strategy, and of course every situation we encounter is player dependent. It has been a while since I wrote this stuff but I suspect I felt that player profiling was a topic of general poker discussion and perhaps slightly beyond the scope of this thread.
I would add that even in low buy-in MTTs, the betsizing I have advocated is sufficient to charge our opponents the wrong price to draw and allows us to play a small-ball style where we can potentially invest less of our stack when bluffing. Of course, if you suspect the average player in a low buy-in MTT calls too much then perhaps there is less need to bluff, which makes your strategy of making larger bets even more lucrative.
