I had originally planned on reloading for cash games but came to this wonderful epiphany that playing a super loose aggro style with lots of 2.3x raising and barreling and shit might actually be more suited towards big MTT tournament play. I only wanted to play like $1 or $5 MTT's, but since sunday is so juicy I figured what the hell, might as well get my feet wet and possibly walk away with a new life roll, so I joined mostly $10 tourneys.
I ran into a lot of confusing situations to say the least. Just fishy players making really weird bet sizes, or jamming 100 BB's to an UTG raise etc, I was completely lost in most of my hands. When I wasnt shooting blind, I was playing shortstacked on the button and running into aces in the blinds. Now that the big tourney's are over I can focus on the el-cheapo's and just look at them as practice. In fact I may have to pay off some fish just to get a handle on what people are doing with their odd bets, it's really like nothing I've ever seen before. I have a feeling they're just completely bluffing at pure random b/c poker is all about bluffing, but we'll see.
I'd say the biggest leak in my game revolves around proper stack management. How to use my chips effectively and how not to get short stacked too early in the game. I have no idea how to fix this yet, so I'm just gonna keep plugging away at it until I seem to get some sort of rhythm for these things, as they are quite different from cash.

poker isn't all about bluffing and don't pay the fish just to see what they have, just pay attention to what's happening and you'll get all that information for free. |

grinding MTTs is tough man, I normally have 10 - 20 tournies without a single cash so it can be pretty frustrating.
I think u are mostly getting coolered and ur BM is affecting ur desicion making. Why dont u upload hands and I'll gladly give u some advice.
One thing I do is get really high when I run deep, this way Im super paranoid of getting set up and play in the zone.
LOL not that Im recommending any1 to do it. |

meh, I played it and sucked out to bubble it
super tight is usually the way to play so you can steal later
if you don't manage to double up early and keep increasing your stack, you'll be in shove/fold mode soon enough |
