Re: how long did it take to get your first win?
i started playing poker about a year ago and just won my first MTT (10$/836 entrants). i played approximately 150 tourneys of 500+ entrants, but i was a complete newbie for the first ~100, playing weak-tight going for ITM (interestingly succeeding very often).
I recommend to play as many SNGs as you can to get used to lategame play, which is the key difference between a 15th and a 1st place finish. And then donīt adjust weak-tightish when playing the 5th hour of a MTT. If it is correct to push Q4s into a bigger stack, it is still - and especially - true when you got deep in a large MTT.
(sorry for sounding like an excited noob, which i am)
