Message: [QUOTE="alienat3d, post: 3749299, member: 226185"] Well this is a very interesting thread and theme. I am personally playing no cash games, but a lot of tournaments. Like half of my games are STTs and the other MTTs. My bankroll can afford me to play low STTs and micro MTTs. Some years ago i was grinding like 90% of time STTs 9MAX and i think that at STT game is really more important to get into top 3, where you get paid and then after that trying to overplay your opponents at 3-handed action. On a distance such tactic seems to work well and "tight is right", especially at the beginning of the game. But i found it very quickly it doesn't work that good for micro MTTs or Freerolls. If i try to play decent, i mean not like a stone-nit, but decent. Aggressively playing good hands or some hands with a potency to hit monster, like connectors or gap-suited connectors and low pairs. I am playing them only in position of course. But the problem is, most time i find myself as a short stack on a bubble, cause pretty much time i see super-aggressive play, like monkey-bingo, where you hardly can play anything, except pushing premium hands from 10% range or something like that. And it eats stack up, cause obviously such hands are coming not that often. So what have i do there, gambling like a donkey from the beginning on and hoping i could double or triple up for gambling further? :) Is this kind of strategy for micro MTTs and Freerolls or what can you do else? By the way i have already some experience playing middle MTTs like for $20 or $55 and of course it's a totally different story. Tables are much tighter and people playing more reasonable and decent. I think at such limits it would be kinda profitable to be more loose-aggro, if you can do that well and not find yourself being trapped giving your stack on bluff. But at micros.. so far i see no chance for such tactics. Either you gamble with donkeys for whole your stack with a trash like they do, so you are kinda a donkey at that moment too, but could get lucky. Or you trying to play decent and see how your stack getting shorter. Or maybe once in a while you could have a good run having a several good hands without being card dead or bad beated and get to the final table. But it happen extremely rarely to me, to be honest.
