You said you limp any pocket pair early in the tournament, do you do this in early position? I dont see how it can be profitable. Obviosly people are going to over value their TPTK but if you limp you are gonna get raised if they have a hand like AK, AQ, AJ or a high pocket pair. I just dont feel comfortable early in a tournament playing these low pocket pairs. How important do you think it is to play these?

Be ready for the insane jump in variance for the $26 ones. I dont know if its b/c its a lot more people or something but even though the competition is about the same as the $11 one, I've gotten for a lack of better choice for words, RAPED. I mean kings getting annihilated byshit hands over and over and over and over and over and over.............AND OVER.
Good luck everyone!

Just wanted to post a hand I thought was pretty important. On my end it was an easy hand not really much else you can do with KK. On the other hand (literally) this guy really thought I was trying to take the pot away from him I guess?
I just want to show that even up to the 26$ these people in rush don;t know how you play due to the rush factor. So betting like this is important to make them think you are constantly trying to take from them, so that there defenses kick in and they make stupid calls like this?!?!?

I would be willing to put up $1 towards the buy-in on occasion, not that you need it, but as a pay-per-team-view thing Im confident I could better my game by watching your strategies/techniques.

KC, I understand you don't use HEM or PT3.
The next time you final table one of these, could you maybe catch the stats FullTilt provides, # of hands, vpip, wtsd etc. Maybe a screen shot even.
FullTilt doesn't provide those stats with those names, but they represent the same stuff. Might help noobs begin the process of learning what information can help them.
In the standard 135 seat RUSH games my PT3 works great, but in the MTT's it fails big time. Not too concerned about that as the fast pace prevents me studying any particular player for much, until the final table. What I am always most interested in is how they (my villains) might be perceiving me. The only way currently of doing that is via those stats. I have final tabled the 135 seat games with a VPIP as low as 6 and as high as 20, but seem compelled (inexplicably) to want that number to be near 10-12, on average. That puts me squarely in the NIT range.

There ya go, I gave it a try tonight. Got 3rd At the end, we were playing 3 handed with blinds 4000/8000. This is just a luck fest then. I lost a flip and then push with Q3s. I had 36k and on the button. So, was it a good push? He called with A10os. The flop gave me a flush draw, the turn added an open ended! But I end up in the rail. Was it a bad push?

5 final tables out of how many games? I tried 2 so far and finished 3rd and 26th. The toughest part of the tourney that I found out was when there's between 20-50 players. If you don't have a big stack, you need to be able to steal and if the steal doesn't work, you need to get lucky. This is where I failed in my second try. I pushed with around 10 BB with 99 and got called by JJ.
The tricky part is to maintain the 25BB and more edge to be comfortable to steal and continue the story with a CBET. With less than 15BB, this is more a shove move preflop that you need to do. Am I right?

Id say around 10 BB Im shoving in LP to steal with a pretty wide range.
