It depends what level MTT you are playing. If you are playing in more than $100 you should mostly be agressive randomly like these guys said. But if is less than $100 I find poeple calling raises with hands like 9 2 because they say I am not going to let this guy push me around. To counter that I always call or check pre-flop unless I am holding a terrible hand such as 3 5 or a great hand such as any 2 face cards I raise. I use the bad cards to mask my good ones. On the flop I always bet because sometimes even if they have 2nd pair they will fold. Even if they call contiue bettering

With suited connecters you want multi action and a cheap flop. That means unless it is heads up and you want to bluff a low flop dont call a raise with them. But with the right flops you can clean a table.P.S. Even if you get a drawing hand on the flop make sure you have pot odds when calling :wink:

Congrats on the read...Now u relize y so many poeple r addicted to poker. The ability to read and be right is just an awesome feeling. I had on the other day when I raised was re-raised and folded AK off suit; my opponent showed KK

I have to say I play the players. Some players if I raise pre-flop with AK and they re-raise I will move all in, others I just call, and there is only 1 player that I know I would throw it away pre-flop ; he is a rock. I also play the players with my bluffs. Some I can re-raise pre-flop with a 94 and make them lay it down, others I would dare. However post-flop I play my cards more.

I love pokerchamps, only place I play. Support there is great. They have many different levels in tournaments to play. The compition in the tournament really sucks so it is very easy to place.

Yeah I think it is possible, but you need to start with a rather big bankroll. It also depends on what level you play at. I have been only playing in tournaments for a while now and find that around 30% of the time I make the money. If one could do that at a $100 buy in, then you could make a living playing one tournament a day.

I only talk when I am not in the action, during the action I always need to concentrate whether I am raising with 72 off or AA sutied :wink:

I dont think pros do it that much for the camara. Maybe a little though. I took what they did shorthanded and tried to do it my self. I have been having great success with their run and gun poker. I think it is just a good strategy to play short handed.

For tourneys i dont mind b/c i am confident that if I do well most of the time both of us are gettting a good deal, but in ring i see the money i am losing them, whiles tourneys i never see the money
