If your style means you might need to do it 5 times in a tourney then you would expect to be knocked out more than 9 times out of 10. Only ship it when you have to or when it really makes sense.
hey bud firstly I watched some your stuff on youtube just awesome love that kinda stuff
Thanks for wanting me to win a big mtt but i don`t think that be happening anytime soon haha
You have a lot good advice again on the thread bud I defo take a lot of it on board. I`m not the best mtt player so my advice won`t be much use imo but a few things I would say is don`t play over £11 mtts atm and try aim for amount of mtts you think you can play in a month say roughly 300-500 target and see what results you get at smaller buyins.
With regards to strategy I think you should post certain hands you feel you where unsure or feel you played bad/good, i think curt said their is certain spots you might be getting it aipf and be crushed but it might have been the right hand n spot to get it aipf and was unlucky walk into a monster.
hi guys, thanks for the advice i will try and beat the smaller stakes bh ty mumsie. I am in a rush sometimes to get the money in pf, i know i have to slow down and have more patience, cheers for the advice. I do an escapology and juggling show for a living, if you type 'merlin cadogan' in to you tube you will see lots of tv shows etc that i have performed on. I have over 11 million hits on 1 clip alone! The bgt first round! i got to the semi final in 2009. I have broken 2 guiness world records, (juggling under water the longest with 3 balls and I also picked the most police handcuffs in under 1 minute live on magic numbers on itv!) I am flat out over the summer season performing shows, in the winter it is very quiet where i live in devon, so i make ends meet by treasure hunting. I love the sea and i spend my days wading or scuba diving searching for losr gold and anything interesting that i can find! I hope to be able to make some money from poker one day (actually last 2 months i have made a profit, but i have lost most of it trying tournies) as i dont have a pention. If you want to see my dog juggle you tube ' juggling dog merlin' he is awesome!! I'm rubbish on computersso cant post links but search on you tube merlin bgt merlin underwater handcuffs merlin blue peter merlin this morning and you should see some clips come up. Thanks guys I think sky is awesome the players are so helpful, it would be great if one of us could go on and win a massive poker tournament, Curt or Liam or Spalshies etc. It would be so cool. I hope that one of you guys (OR ME!) goes on and smashes the wpt or something! good luck Posted by fi33er
Might be the most fun post on Sky Poker ever.
Lovely stuff, amazing the way different people earn a living.
I think there have been some really good answers so far. There is not only a difference in tactics but also a difference in mind set required when switching from cash to tournaments. The saying you can only get it in with the best hand applies to cash more than tournaments. In cash if you get it all in with the best hand that is good as even if you lose this hand you can just Shrug your shoulders, reload, carry on playing secure in the knowledge that in the long run you will win. In tournaments though if you get it all in with the best hand and it loses then that is the tournament over and it feels like a disaster. What you should think though is this is just one tournament in your session of say 500 tournaments, just as when you lose a cash hand it is just one hand in a session. Though it's been mentioned I shall mention it again try to avoid the all in situations, and if you can't try to ensure you are not the caller but the one going all in. It is better to try without being loose to pick up chips where you can with minimal risk. I am not sure whether MatBates will be happy with this, but if you want to see this in action watch him, he is a great opportunist, not that I have noticed.
If I fail to be a poker champ I wont have anyone to blame apart from myself. loads of great advice from some really class people thanks again. I am trying to implement this advice, I will keep you up to speed with my results. My girlfriend is going to help me post some links on here of my crazy stunts etc, thanks to tikay 10 for helping with those links he has posted, cheers. I will be a champ one day and I will be singing all your praises when I am, sky is awesome!
We will post some of the best links this evening....
