Re: The Poker Tournament Formula by Arnold Snyder...
WRX, thanks for the response!!
i do think that most players in those 6 hour $100 B&M MTT's play really scared and you can just "take" pots (even big ones) from them when everyone has deeper stacks. but then when it gets a little shorter i think you really want to pick your spots..... and then that gets down to how arnold describes spots. i think his style is a little impatient, but i think dan harrington's books are a little too slow (probably because arnold assumes 10 minute levels and dan assumes 40-60 minute levels)
i do think you have to be willing to die and i think arnold is willing to do that in an MTT..... in internet MTT's i think many people are, but B&M tourneys have much, much more of a survival bias to them (you've driven to tourney and waited around beforehand, and you're usually playing for much higher stakes than you do in one internet MTT)
