Hi guys n am new to the forum , Iv'e been playing for years but only now getting serious at it , I want to know , can you just be a complete nit in tournaments ? That's basically it right ? what advice would you provide , I'm reading the Harrington's , but to me it really seems to be : be nitty , change it up time and again , and play aggro at final table , is this just super simplistic and silly of me ? Pls I'm eager to learn and don't really know where to post am new

There's no magic formula to being a winning player - if you just have a single plan A you become easy to play against. Good players can play tight or loose as the situation demands it.

2-shove pre as played I dont like the shove so i would call - definitely not folding. When we shove I feel like the hands that call us herehave us crushed ...

Well I started off as a limit cash player so I got the basics from there. I don't know what a tournament player does to learn the basics. If this were limit I would tell you to read "small stakes holdem" by ed Miller but idk if there's a tournament Bible book like there is in lhe. I read Jonathon little's book. That was good. The problem with tourneys and newbies is you can't just nit it up like you can in a cash game because the changing dynamics of short stacks and the stages of the tournament. I think being new and learning how to play tournaments is tough. Im grateful I came up in lhe. If you can play on stars I would say play the micro 45/90/180 man sng and get a feel for how those work then transition into mtt. You could play like 1r - 3-5 to mtt and post and read a ton here and in the sng forums.
