The trick is to learn when to play TAG and when to play LAG.

GREAT STUFF
I have been trying to perfect my tournament strategy and I have tried some different ones and been successful with both.
I won a MTT with 68 people entered on BugsysClub - $10K in starting chips, blinds start out 25/50 with 10 minute levels and I was limping with ANY Pocket Pair, any AXs, and any connector (suited or not. I was also raising with top hands when I had late position always raising the same amount, 2xBB and I usually followed up with a continuation bet of 1/2 the pot if I had callers no matter what the flop.
I also won a MTT with 87 people entered on BugsysClub - $10K in starting chips, blinds start out 25/50 with 10 minute levels and I was playing only premium hands. First 90 minutes of tourney I probably only won 2 hands and that was from the Blinds but then I got KK and doubled up just like that and BAM was at avg stack. Contintued on, folding and folding and just pushing the hell out of my Big Hands. Once it was down to about 30 people I changed gears to prepare myself for the final table. I had built such a good image as a "Rock" that I was stealing left and right. Once it was the final table I played a solid game and won.
I think all the strategies work - you just have to see which one works for you and you have to ttry them all out.
Good luck everyone,
JDK

Having said that, I am going to try to tweak a little Mid-tourney play (if I have the cards LOL) and see what happens...I will keep you all posted...I play the smaller ones, so it will be worth a try...

Basically, he says most of the worst players are going to go out in the first few levels. That's the prime time to start building your stack. It's a ton easier to turn 1500 into 5-6k against a bunch of fish than it is against the tighter players that you'll face later in the tournament, and that's normally enough to have a very decent position coming into the bubble period, depending on ammount of entrants of course.
There's a ton of dead money in these tournaments, I would rather take it from the fish than try to take it from the solid players.
Again, these are just more or less my thoughts, not trying to rile anyone.

You are right about luck coming into play. tonight I was playing a $50 SnG. I was getting no card. 3,5 2,8 4,7. I am finally short stacked with around 400 in chips the blinds are 300 and I am the BB. 4 players left. UTG doubled it all fold to me I have J4o. I go ahead and push because I am not going to do anything with 100 in chips. UTG has K4o. My 4 was a club and I hit a flush. Now I have 1000. Long story short I finish 2nd when 2 are left we are about even I push all in with AJ and the other player has 77. I miss.
The same thing happens in MTT's someone gets hot at the right time what can you do.
Flop I am not sure what you call serious levels online? You have your stratagy and I have mine and I already conceeded that you should play what works for you.
I think that it is easier to teach someone to play tight aggresive if they are new to MTT's then it is to play loose. After they start making the money then they can start adjusting there style for what they feel most comfortable with. To play a loose style you have to pick and choose when it is time to push and when it is time to back off and if our not seasoned you will be eaten alive.

For instance, here's a grouping of tournaments I have stats on:
92 total tournaments,
3 final tables, 23 total ITM finishes
4 bubble (tables - within 9 spots of the money)
ROI% is 189.93%
These are all tournaments with buyins ranging from $1 to $10 though, so if you have a different definition for profitable - then these numbers are awful deceptive.

I stayed and watched, and took notes on players, and another guy, call him Lawyer, got lucky TIME after TIME after TIME...every time he was low stacked, about 5 or 6 BB's, he went all in...and he had KK, AA, AK those times, kept doubling back up, staying alive, hit a flush on the river once, he got to the final 7 players...just rambling thoughts...i DID play a few long shots early in tourny, and ironically, a 9 6 std doubled me up, hitting the nut strt on the flop.
Question, one needs to get in final 3 about what? 1 out of a dozen times to be profitible? Kowboy? Anyone? Any ITM % numbers here for MTT's?
