to an MTT new player id recommend the same, reading some books, watching videos and reading forums. theres just too much info for you to take in to learn it all in one place.
if everyone is tight just open a lot of hands. pay a lot of attention to stacksizes and dont raise if you cant call a shove from people that have 10bb or less.

i raise a lot of hands cause i prefer getting the pots hu or 3 way so its easier to outplay people and takedown pots. id say in the first level if i have 500bb in a live mtt im playing 40% of the hands cause people are pretty weak deepstacked.

What were the major things you learned then? What was it like? Who are the top 5 LP HU players? I will come back with more soon. Thanks for doing this Daut!

there was a contest on p5 where people wrote up why they should be picked and i had the best writeup by far.
i didnt really learn all that much from it. before pca we only did 1 or 2 sessions and after pca we did 1 or 2 more. it helped cement a few things i knew and i learned a little bit about hu play after the pca but for the most part it didnt help me a ton.

top 5 lp hu players in no particular order would prob be rekrul, peachy, thor, straate, pooruser.

How do you go about analyzing a hand? do you use excel? pad n paper? if you started breaking even for a large number of hands how would you go about improving your play? where do you see yourself in 5 years? use a pee bottle when playing a long mass table FR session? 8D

no aha moments, hard to say what i really learned day by day. i guess the biggest aha moment ive ever had is when i was watching genius28 play about 18 months ago and i saw him turn a hand into a bluff on the river and i realized there was a whole new world of possible lines i could take.

most of the best LP threads are in general lol. the best strategy thread ive read in detail was probably the one where i copied jman's question from 2p2 over: if you are on the button playing 25/50 5k deep, good solid aggro cutoff raises to 175, you make it 550 and he calls, now you can choose your hand, and rank in order of preference: a) 75s, b) 88, c) A2s, d) KJo. that got a lot of good theoretical discussion and most hands are pretty straightforward.

if i broke even for a lot of hands id prob go look through all the hands i was playing, watch some videos, and watch what the winning regs were doing that i wasnt or what i wasnt adjusting to well that they were doing. would also play less tables and take a lot of notes on everyone.

in 5 years i see myself playing for 6 months a year, travelling, and hopefully be in a long term relationship by that point cause id like to have kids before im old.

i dont play sessions that are longer than 5 hours and i have a pretty good bladder so not a problem.

everyone is more aggro nowadays, and they understand how to react to peoples ranges much better

if i had 10 million id sit at railheaven and play day in day out until i had a 1m downswing. if i had 2m online id sit and sell a lot of pieces of myself. pretty confident in a guy laliberte game if any good 2/4 player sits they are a winner as long as the money doesnt cause them to make bad plays

What kind of activities do you do besides poker to make you feel better about your life? Or are you perfectly fine with just playing poker, hanging out with friends etc. How many times do you check LP a day? Have you been coached and by whom, and what were the "breakthrough- ideas / thoughts / moments" that really helped your game improve?

2barrel more. and 3bet him less oop, more in position, and check behind some flops to make your cbets in 3bet pots more credible.

lately, my life during the week is something like: sleep for 8 hours, play for 5 hours, workout (either gym or jiu jitsu) for 1.5-3 hours, food another 1-2 hours, talk to people online another 4 hours, dick around/watch tv/talk to parents the rest of the day. my friends have jobs so i dont hang out during the week. on the weekends we usually either go into hoboken or NYC one of the nights, and go to some bars around here the other night.

i probably check LP 20 times a day. theres a lot of random open webpage, scroll down, dont look at anything particular, open another webpage.

i havent been coached, but ive talked to a lot of good players, and described one of these earlier. another important moment was thinking about what flops people cbet, what flops people check behind on, which led me to calling more hands preflop that hit the flops that people always cbet.

well when talking about MTT ability its mainly about online mtts because live mtt are deep enough where its like an online cash game for a significant amount of time.
and i put hevad 5th with patrick and i guess the random cash game players when they take them serious are about that same level. live would be different because someone like peachy can do really well and run a tourney over like ept london cause its relatively deep for a long time

live id just say anyone who owes people money and is taking a long time to pay them back. no comment.
