Table Tournament Strategy (MTT) |
|
Similar to our sit and go strategy
guide mtt’s (multi table tournaments) are broken down into
several stages. Mtt’s also come in several formats including
rebuy & addons tourneys, freerolls, and satellite events.
This guide is designed for the standard mtt’s found on most
online poker rooms daily. Buyins can be anywhere from $5 to
$200 with the amount of players ranging from 150 – 1000
players.
Early Play
It’s early in the tournament and there are plenty of novice
players in the game who play loose hoping to catch that
lucky hand and double up. Do you want to be the person they
do this to? Obviously not, we recommend you play tight and
only going in a hand with something premium like AA, KK, QQ,
AK suited. Also play the hands aggressively betting out,
raising, or re-raising. We’ve seen it and it’s happened to
us many times, do not allow yourself to lose to the fish!
Play conservative and at the same time build up your table
image as a solid / tight player who plays premium hands
aggressively.
Middle Play
In this stage you’ll want to open up your game as the blinds
are significant enough to help your chip stack. Because
you’ve been playing tight, you should have respect from the
players and be able to take down a few pots / blinds without
having to show your hand. In terms of requirement, open up
the range of hands play a style you would play in a normal
game basing it on seat position, players in the hand, chip
stacks, etc… The goal of this phase is to build your chip
stack up and have it over the tournament average.
Bubble Play
This is where you are close to being in the money, usually
around 10 – 15 spots left. You’ll want to open up you game
here even more trying to press the players you see as
tightening up trying to make the money. Think about it,
they’ve invested a lot of time and effort to get them in
that position, why risk it all now? You do it because you
have hopes of doing better than just being in the money.
This is a stage where you have the opportunity to position
yourself to make the final table. Once you actually get into
the money, go back to playing your regular game. You should
be in good shape to make the final table.
Final Table
So you’ve made it to the final table, now what? Well, you
should have a good understanding of how a typical final
table gets played out. Basically you will have a few types
of players at the final table. The few short stack who
barely made it and are looking to double up, the mid range
player (probably where you are) who has a good chance of
making good money, and the chip leaders who got extremely
lucky at the right times (there are a few of them in every
tournament). Our advice / strategy to playing is as the
blind are high, you’ll want to play a wider range of hands.
But you’ll only want to play them against 1 or 2 other
players max, a short stack, or any player to can pick on
that seems to be playing to survive. It’s a touchy situation
but with a few final tables you’ll get the hang of what and
how to manoeuvre through to winning it all. When that
happens, please let us know. We like to hear of success
stories from player who used one of our guides for success.
