Why play MTTs? - Page 3 - MTT Poker Strategy - Multi Table Tournament Poker Forum

People are definitely braindead in Florida.

Some of us play MTT's for the same people some people visit dominatrixes. We love pain and misery. I'm imagine MTT'ers if winning, or only marginal losers save money compared to those that visit professionals.

Cause banging your head against your desk for no reason is kind of stupid.

You play because you love playing tournament poker. If you don't just do something else with your time that makes you happier

It's not 3:2 anymore? wtf? Did that change in AC as well?

ps: Its been about 2 years since i played blackjack.

started around 2003 apparently, see here:
http://wizardofodds.com/articles/other/6to5bj.html

I don't know what the current ratio of 6:5 versus 3:2 tables is in Vegas, but when I was there a year ago I was told you have to hunt for them, they obv put the 6:5 tables front and center where I got suckered into one and didn't even notice the change until I hit a blackjack and was like... whaaaaaaa? LOL

I think they do it because the fields are softer in MTTs than in the cash games, that must be it.

You've never won a MTT with more than 1000 people OP right? When you do you'll see why we play them so religiously.

because playing 6 hours and mini cashing is alot more fun than playing a cash table 6 hours and building your stack to put you up 5 buy ins only to get one outed by the only person at the table that has a stack bigger than yours to put you down one buy in....

I play 'em cause they help me with my patience. Possibly making a final table, making it three handed, and winning some are other reasons why I play them.

I won my first 8.00 rebuy a week ago for 7400.00. if I could win 100.00 a day in cash games without a bad day I would have to play 74 days for this. think I`ll stay with the mtts

Because final tabling one big MTT is far more exciting than making 5BB/hour grinding out a cash game or making 1$/tournament playing STT and having to play 1000s again and again and again...zzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzz

-Play 1/2 NL for 2 hours and suck, lose life savings
-Play $2 MTT for 2 hours and suck, make 20 cents.

"So! Simple question: why should I or anybody else play MTTs, especially NLHE MTTs?"

because unlike smashing my head into brick walls, it doesn't feel better when I stop
