Default Re: MTT\'ers... what is your edge?

When I play on Absolute I can see everyone's cards. That usually helps a little.

I have a "go big or go home" attitude. Everyone remembers Babe as the home run KING, but what many people do not know is that along with the home run record, Babe also held the record for most strikeouts!

A product of making less mistakes than others and exploiting bad players better than others.

For a concise explanation thats spot on, i merely suck less than most others.

are you talking about what makes you better than the other players in the field who are beating the field, or the field as a whole?

I guess beating the field as a whole. Obviously you don't have to be the #1 player in the field to be a winner ('cept HU)

At what point does it require more than simply "not sucking"? Does it require more than not sucking to be profitable in the Super Tuesday or Stars 109r?

When I only play 1 tournament, I'm able to quickly and accurately gather reads, enabling me to make better decisions. Yet when I'm playing 4-6 tournys at once, I still make what should be considered "good" decisions.

Also, when I play 1 tournament I find it easy to pick spots to make moves when neccessary (such as who to resteal on) regardless of my cards. But when I play several, I am simply lost and w/o reads, and probably just auto-fold in these potentially profitable spots.

We don't make incorrect preflop calls with hands where we're only proceeding if I make a certain hand.

We don't bloat pots with one pair hands unless we're willing to put all the money in.

We find spots to get chips, not use our cards to get chips.

We run really really good.

[/ QUOTE ]


all of this (although I haven't figured out the 'run really good' part yet), plus most people completely ignore position despite it being probably the most important thing to consider when making a preflop decision.
