How to get into large multi-table tournaments far in the money? As they round the clock for buy-ins from a $ 2,500 available to be, as often and as long as you can train as you want.
The great thing about tournaments with many players is that the prices are very high. Gains in the amount of 1000 of buy-ins and more are not uncommon. Reason enough to deal more intensively with a strategy for such tournaments.
The goal
Contrary to popular belief, is not the goal of each player to win a tournament. In reality, many players are only there to make the money.
For most players it's just been a perceived victory to reach the money. Of course they would like to win, but really they are lucky if they do not lose the buy-in. After all, you can safely feel a winning player, if you get the money, while all who retire before, are losers.
This setting is actually the majority of players in a tournament if the entry fee is moving at a certain level.
In contrast, put players who win the tournament in mind, a much higher risk of, resign early because they are looking for the chance to go far in this tournament and then to be richly compensated.
Consider, therefore, first, what you want. Do not take the objective, which sounds best - you choose what you want and you can also pursue seriously. If you want to win a tournament, it basically makes no difference to you whether you 2 , or 3000th
Good tournament players do have this mentality, for it is profitable. Here is a simple explanation:
Let's say you want ten tournaments each with $ 1,000 buy-in play. Their plan is to get more money. In five out of ten, you fail, the other five cases it is possible you just to get the money.
Losses: 5 x $ 1,000 = $ 5,000
Prizes: 5 x $ 2,000 = $ 10,000
Profit: $ 5000
In the second scenario, you play to win. They divorced nine times out early and win a tournament.
Loss: 9 x $ 1,000 = $ 9,000
Prize: 1 x $ 300,000
Profit: $ 291,000
As you can see from these numbers, you win only really make money when you win tournaments. The variance is much larger, because in the first case, your balance can never look worse than - $ 5,000, the second contrast, up to - $ 9000th
These figures are intended only to illustrate the vast difference in the payouts. It is pointless to assume that you would regularly win every tenth major tournament. If you win $ 300,000 but once you can lose hundreds of tournaments and are still in positive territory.
Who plays to somehow come into money, will tell of course now that he indeed has the opportunity to win the tournament, or more often to make the money. Although some of the money actually reach more ranks, but among them there are like cash game players have a lucky streak. We will come back to it yet.
If the money ranks are achieved and you are about average in the chip, you will have a healthy amount of luck needed to really get far. While distributing the players win their share of gambling on the whole tournament, you will now have to walk a very high risk to have a shot at the final table have.
Mainly obtained
Many cash-game players are actually addicted to book a session as profit. They are ignoring long-term results, as calculated hourly rates. Such players end a winning session with a fraction of the profits they could have achieved, only to somehow be in the bonus when they stop.
I am not a proponent of this tactic. The setting, each session must end with a profit is not a serious poker players from dangerous, since it limits the profits and sometimes even provides for harsh setbacks.
Sometimes you just play bad. Perhaps you are tired, depressed or just a bit tired. If you force yourself now to remain at the table, because you have to make up your losses, you risk even greater losses. If you can just about winning, you reduce your profits and risking higher losses.
The lucky Strategy
Recognize first that you have to gamble frequently in a tournament with so many players to have chances to win the tournament. You have to win many coin flips, your hands must stand up against weaker and you also need a bit of luck sometimes even when you are in a worse position.
Really good MTT players know how important is the happiness and also obtain this in their game.
Amateurs look MTT professionals too often and wonder how dese are so lucky to have. In reality, they have but of course no more or less fortunate than you or I, if one disregards the actual short streaks.
The big difference is they look for their opportunity in situations where it amounts to a coin flip and they need a little luck, and you know when the right moment has come. If your hand is 60:40 favorite, would you risk your stack rather then against a player whose stack only a third as big as your or against you, has you covered?
Amateurs usually opt for the former, because they remain even in the game when they lose it. The problem here is that you will often find themselves in a position to take such risks carefully in order to get back to where they were ready.
A professional plays to win and would rather opt for the player with the bigger stack, because the pots are larger and give them the more likely the chance of achieving good moves with the front seats.
Also to be considered in this context is the ROI. If you play a tournament where you can earn a 1000 times your income, you need to make strong moves. As a solid player, you should assume that the happiness you meet more than just a few thousand occasions.
If you see that once again a professional far in the tournament comes, do not hesitate to assume that he so far this tournament has already "been lucky" several times has.
So use the strategy themselves lucky. Go to risks if it can pay off for you. In a large Turner you have to leave often be important, so choose the situations in which one is the most may come off for you.
To be continued
In the second part of this article, we will elaborate on the strategy and MTT MTT theory, so that you eventually reach a final table of a major tournament.
Familiarize yourself in the meantime, the concept of playing to win. Concentrate on the first place, not the money.
