Yes to maestro and flexitime as long-term solid players with the ability to do the unexpected. Angryjuice also very good but maybe too similar to DaCus (wham, bam, thank-you ma'am) to be a threat to someone like you long-term?Yes I have had the privilege of "DaCus Light" lately. He has been running strongly since his return to the Free World.

I have only had a very small amount of coaching. What I did pick up was mostly pretty basic stuff as I am self taught there were a few mtt errors I was making that were not specific to hi/lo.
This would apply to all MTTs and not just OHL but I think the difference between guys like you and say, DaCus, is that you have a 5-speed gearbox, whereas others only have 2-3 gears. For me probably the most crucial part of successful MTT play is knowing what gear you should be in and what gear your opponents seem to be in.
While it might be a very difficult thing to describe with absolute rules, if you really want to share skills with posters here, you should elaborate on what, "desire to flip light deep", means to you. Also if you could pick an example of a certain hand that you would play differently according to stack and stage of tournament, that might help some folk understand.
For example you hold Q (Q K) K (or say, (A 5 ) T J) in MP in level 1, level 20 and level 50 with small, mid and large stacks. My play would be full-spectrum fold, limp, raise, shove depending on stack and level, whereas to my mind, not as many as I expect make those adjustments. A lot of guys I play with will raise and shove (A 2) (7 8) with 10 or 100 BBs, whereas the serial winners would tend to take a flop first with larger stacks before committing.
Maybe you don't agree, regardless, thanks for doing the well
