Dont get me wrong..i know there is alot of skill involved. But no matter how skillful u are if u dont dodge the bullets and get cards or get lucky you dont have a chance in hell at winning a tournament.
Below, bax, ari and most of the other bigtime MTT players play a huge volume to offset a 30 MTT bad run or whatever. A 30 MTT bad run for me lasts a couple weeks..for them it only lasts a couple days. Its just frustrating.
What wins tournaments is aggression...not getting it all in with the best hand everytime and hoping it holds. Unless you get a sick run of cards you do have to take some chances in MTT's. Whats been happening lately is when i resteal with 64s or a small pp or something, the original raiser ALWAYS has a high PP. Not AK or AQ or something where its a race or 1-2..or Ax or something that he can muck. And when i push from LP with the same type of hands, the BB or SB is always waking up with a pocket pair. I have absolutely no problem taking chances where im a 1-2 underdog...but when i run into AA and KK EVERY FUCKING TIME lately, its fucking draining.
