at one moment i was -60k on stars and not focusing at all since i was winning on euros+ftp but when ftp was gone i had to focus on stars and win there too. this only occured because of the game selection. after finding myself profitabile in lets say 55fo 109 162 22c i tried the higher ones too but i dont think my place is there because they are too tough and the only result when i dont win in them is me playing bad

so yeah, game selection is a must do but how can we approach it better by skipping tougher games with no big edge there even if we are rolled ?
I mean theres nothing wrong with cutting marginally plus EV tourneys from your schedule because it raises your EV in the other tourneys because of less tables- Gboro only play 8-12 tables and killed it- I`d be less inclined to cut turbos though since they`re mostly a preflop game- honestly though 9 max stars tourneys bore me to death- only play the 22 rebuy action hour and the occasional rebuy and sunday mill there

came in here to post this : http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=A3JC2...re=uploademail

and read 10min on the IWG/ttkosh/panda/munk posts

you guys all speak the truth in some form or another, the single conclusion I can draw from this (for anyone else) is that success in MTTs comes in different forms and shapes, for the unlucky ones (or the mediocre ones) it takes ages of volume and adjusting and volume volume volume , for the gifted ones it's just like in cash games in today's games:

who already has sound GTO skills but knows how to adjust BEST will be successful in a pretty short time , in any kind of MTT given experience and some time (see your apestyles/djk/boro/yev etc.. )

good post goggles

1bandit- Ya like others have said, just try not to have an ego when registering for tournaments and just do what you are comfortable with. I know you like to play a lot of tournaments and feel like you are just losing $ by not registering for tournaments but if you are not comfortable with the variance of those tournaments or not comfortable with how adding extra tables may cause you to lose some focus then just do not worry about it and pass on some. Basically, if you are not sure if you want to play a certain tournament for whatever reason I would almost always not play.

I agree with Dave, I am much less likely to pass on turbos unless it is a higher buyin with a tough field. I pass on 6max tournaments a lot even though I love shorthanded poker way more than 9 handed.
11-23-2011 , 04:44 PM
I personally think if your too proud to play a 20-50 FO your a ****in tard. You play this game to make $$$$ so should be treating your game selection as a part of your business. Unless you truly think adding some high variance turbos are more profittable then adding some sick value tournament, then go for it!

I doubt I'd ever reg the 200r on Sunday if I was worth 10mm. it's disgusting a ton of regs won't play small FO's because there first prize might be 3k? That's basically the reason midstakes will always be beatable. I have mad respect for ppl who who basically reg all the small value tournies as well as higherstakes. Ppl need yo start thinkin about there hourly not how cool it is to only play touraments that pay 10k +

11-23-2011 , 05:49 PM
meh i guess I agree with what you're saying guru, but I like to play a primarily hsmtt schedule and just focus on regs and note take... I do prefer value over regfests obviously though. that bein said, been on 2p2 binge today and playing 8/6 across 3 tables...
11-23-2011 , 05:53 PM
If there isn't (couldn't find one, but may be ******ed) an "official shove range/shove here?" thread, can we make one? I feel like there's a buttload of MTT threads that are simple enough that they don't need their own thread and are just standard shove or fold spots.

Not everyones hourly is improved by mashing the reg button, while your absurdly general statements may apply to you they certainly dont apply to many of the people you're calling "****ing tards", most of the best mtters dont play the tournaments you're talking about and it has absolutely 0 to do with how much money they have or being too proud, if playing them actually made them more money theyd play them...

paul wall, 2pac, yelawolf, SNO, lil wyte, bun b, masta ace, ludacris, old kanye west stuff (such as drive slow) is what comes to mind right now.

I'm clearly saying play the most profitable schedule as possible, which is a general statement that mostly everyone knows. However, Many don't exactly do that. If you can play a 150+ abi and still crush the game then by all means do it, but many can't. A ton of high stakes players will play 6-8 table at a times which is somewhat low compared to most Regs, but there focus allows them to play extremely well without auto-piloting. Pretty sure I heard a interview by Gboro elaborating on it more then I can. My original post wasn't about players who can beat High stakes with a 25% ROI it was about players who are either breakeven/losing/slightly winners to be better at game selecting.

A good example would be Uaredead, He plays basically every tournament he can ,But i'm sure he would be more profitable if he cut a few higher buyins. Although, he may be playing the highest stakes for TLB purposes?

Yeah thats what I got off your previous post as well Guru- I think we`re all guilty of just grinding it out without putting enough effort into game selecting all the MTTs online nowadays.
Gboros interview was really interesting when he did elaborate on why he did so few tables-I think where it majorly helped him, and I`m sure most would agree on this, is that when he was say 1/30 or 1/40 his takedown rate was staggering
Its so true some regs have an ego problem and play too high stakes but I`m all for that- if anything gives more liquidity to the HSMTTs, and less efficiency in the medium and small stake mtts
