Title: How to play mtt's when you are dominated Post by: mikeymike2 on August 21, 2020, 04:44:39 PM What I mean by dominated is in the last few weeks when we are down to the last fifty or so players and are in the money I have noticed that over 85% of the players left come from one country and in a couple of cases this has been 99%.
So I have ended up on a table with 8/1 ratio - I am not and do not in anyway infer that these players then collude but you do tend to find that when you open or re-raise you have a few more callers than normal. This has made me play more defensive and less prone to chuck in the odd bluff or open a bit wider than at the start My question is do I play even tighter or way looser I really don't know and when your playing 60/70bb you just can't jam every time you have a premium. Just some info from utg I am opening 20% of hands on a 70bb stack to nearly 45% on the button Title: Re: How to play mtt's when you are dominated Post by: teddybloat on August 21, 2020, 10:07:32 PM @70bb those % arent far off what the best players play: they are little loose UTG and a little nitty for BTN.
but if you are finding you are getting more callers then you want to be tighter and prioritise hands that play well muliiway and can make nutted hands. you certainly don't want to be playing looser oop. nit up considerably. think of it this way: you don't get to play the bottom of your opening range profitably, but the top of your range makes more money. i'm not an MTT specialist by any means btw. |
