Getting back into online grinding after a few years off. Mainly playing Ignition $5 and $10 MTTs. Have had somewhat successful results the past two months I've been playing. ITM% - 16.7, ROI% - 19, 3 final tables and 1 runner up over 90 tourneys. VPIP is 24.36, with a PFR of 13.71, and a 3 bet PFR of 6.67 over the last 67 tourneys. Got PT4 shortly after starting back. I feel like I could raise my PFR a bit, possibly lower the VPIP just a tad. My 3 bet game is also a work in progress.
Lately, I've been running fairly well in the early to mid stages, sometimes getting absurdly unlucky, (flopped set with TT losing to 77 runner runner flush for 3 way all in pot this evening in the 8K GTD), but what can ya do. But when I'm playing well and running good also, I seem to make it right outside of cash the majority of times. Here is one hand example from tonight. In the BB with 17 blinds, 1K/3K blinds, raised to 6K, I go all in. Maybe I should just call and play post flop, light 3 bet instead of all in? What's the proper play here? Any suggestions to increase my ITM rate? I've been studying ranges, open, calling and 3 bet. Studying every day, analyzing and rethinking hands after each session. Thanks in advance, folks.
Also worth noting here, the PF raiser had an 89% fold to 3 bet PF percentage. I honestly was shocked he called off most of his stack with the hand he had.
