early on I would say you have to get into a lot of marginal situations in order to get enough chips to make the final table. If you are folding in possible coinflips you are passing up giving yourself a chance to win it

Agreed. Look for confrontations early where you can hit a big hand and take advantage of someone that overplays AK, AQ, or a big pair. Thats why, especially early, I'll limp or call medium raises with suited connectors and ALL pairs.

Easy to double up at first because
A) Donks overplay medium hands
B) Most people are trying to cash, so they dont take any risks, so you can push people around.

Once you realize that to win MTT, you need to stay out of races, you'll lose less races and place higher in them.

I JUST started playing them this week. I normally play SnG and cash, mostly live cash, but I played 7 tourneys with 700+ entrants each and placed 150 or less in every single one. Even cashed 3 times. Not bad for my first few tourneys...

Avoid getting all your chips on the line, bad beats and losing races happen, so avoid them. Be cautious preflop, be extra concerned with position, and if someone calls a raise when you have top pair, check/call, or check/fold because you're probably beat.

Whole diff strategy, don't get frustrated, it's acutally easy once you learn the rules. Play super tight for the first hour and you'll be to less than 200 people in a 700-1000 field in no time. Especially $15-$30 buy in events, they are like Jerry Lewis Donkathons. Double up one time then wait for premium hands or suited connectors in multiway cheap PF pots. Also, play ANY pocket pair with any decent sizable raises, hit a set, double up.

I'm saying, early on, dont get into races. Going all in with 10-10 or AQ and stuff like that. Play with more strategy early on, see a lot of cheap flops and build up your stack.

I folded JJ early in a tourney yesterday.

I had about 3400, UTG raiser like 2500 and UTG + 2 had like 1700
Blinds 100/200

UTG raises to 550, UTG+2 raises all in, I fold JJ.

Folds to UTG who calls.

UTG has KK, UTG+2 has 66.

6 On board, my hand was 3rd best post flop.

Ended up cashing in this event BTW.

How long did the tourney take? About 2.5 hours or so.

Multitable 2-3 tourneys and sometimes a SnG and cash game, all while txt messaging, listening to music, eating pizza, and watching porn.
