An Anthology of 2+2 Wisdom on MTT\'s (Original Thread)
When I first joined this forum, I asked for links to some of the 'classic' MTT posts. I got referred to a lot of excellent posts, and since I've been here, I've seen a lot more. I've benefited a lot from the gems of wisdom that have appeared in this forum, and I'd like to give something back, but I'm just not a good enough player to produce such a gem on my own. So I thought it might be helpful to others who are new here if I collected some of the posts I found most helpful in one place. A couple of caveats:
1. THIS IS NOT OBVIOUSLY NOT EXHAUSTIVE! I haven't been here long, so I'm sure there are plenty of excellent posts I don't know about and haven't included here. I hope people will reply to this post with their favorites, and help me and others find these pearls. 2. Don't be offended if you aren't on here. See above. I know there are some excellent players and posters on this forum who aren't represented. That just means I haven't been lucky enough to come across one of your great posts yet. Instead of getting angry, please refer me to them. 3. I know Jurollo has talked about having the mods collect and organize the best posts to come out of this forum, and when they do, I'm sure their collection will be much better than mine. But in the meantime, here are my favorites: Game Selection Burningyen Compares Tournament Structures at the Major Sites Getting Paid Off Jason Strasser Explains How to Build Pots and Get Paid Off With Big Hands Woodguy Refers Us to Some Tips From Fimbulwinter on Important Ring Game Skills CardSharpCook Teaches You How Not To Be a Fish Jason Strasser Discusses Creative Tournament Play Controlling Pot Size MrMoo Gets Some Advice About How and Why to Control the Size of the Pot Making Reads Gigabet's Almost There With Success and Failure Aggression MLG Explains Why Aggression is Good (Even When It Doesn't Work) Playing the Big Stack Gigabet's Theory of Stack Sizes MLG Contemplates Knowingly Taking the Worst of It MLG Initiatives a Discussion About That Mysterious Inflection Point ZeeJustin Wonders Whether the Big Stack's Chips Are Really Less Valuable Woodguy Starts a Discussion of How to Play With a Big Stack Full Tournament Reports Adanthar Wins the Empire 15K Guaranteed Punker Wins the Party Super Tuesday Punker Wins the Party Super Monday |

All I can say is thank you, tremendous stuff. I really appreciate this, and I'm sure all the rest of the 2+2 community will, too.

Re: An Anthology of 2+2 Wisdom on MTT\'s
Awesome contribution. This is exactly the format I've thought about in terms of an FAQ - themes with links to all of the excellent posts of the past.
If anybody cares to add some additional themes/links please do so. You can also access the archives and link to posts there. I'll re-post this as a sticky and will certainly give credit to those who have contributed as a small ongoing token of our appreciation. |

A good point here is that there are some great posts that will benefit us as MTT players in other forums. Those would be great resources as well.

Oh, and if you can suggest what theme a post should be attached to that would be great. See if it applies to an existing theme and if not, suggest a new one.

Re: An Anthology of 2+2 Wisdom on MTT\'s
Here's one category I meant to include originally. The tone of these threads makes it sound like this was a pretty frequent debate at some point, so I imagine others can add some good links here. Among other things, I couldn't find the Raymer and Phillips posts referenced here.
The Early Stages: Accumulate or Survive Che Argues That Survival During the Early Stages is Not an End in Itself Woodguy Isn't Good Enough to Pass Up Small Edges Early (And Neither Are You) I've also heard a lot about Raymer's original post on the Stop and Go, but couldn't find a link for it.... |
