What else do you want to see from 'things it took me a while to learn'

Maybe something about post-analysis techniques and how to use PAHud and PT to your advantage

I second this. Maybe something that covers how often you sift through your hand histories. What are you looking for when you’re trying to identify leaks in your game?

Thanks for this series! It is certainly appreciated.

There's a great post in the NL cash forums by fimbulwinter originally here but also below about when to move up from one level to another, and it would be interesting to get your (and others) perspectives on it from a MTT perspective.

first off you should never view it as a quantum leap kinda thing. just take little shots when you feel comfortable, have the money and are good enough. here's a hand waving yardstick:

try 50NL when:

- you're confident in your preflop game
- you understand position
- you have a good idea of their hand by the river
- you have an ok feel when to continuation bet
- you have 500 or more

100NL when:

- you're confident playing draws
- you can spot good semibluff opportunities
- you can lay down AA/KK unimproved
- you're attacking the blinds in easy steal situations
- you have 1200+

200NL when:

- you're ok betting your stack on a draw
- a PFR from you doesnt always mean AA-JJ and AQs+
- you're starting to play one hand while holding another
- you have more than one mode
- you have 3000 or more

400NL when:

- you can ID profitable preflop steals
- you know how to pick between b3b and c/r
- position factors heavily into your play
- you're good at manipulating pot size
- you have 6000+

1K NL when

- your lines don't define your hand
- you're good at playing and winning lots of small pots
- your oop opponent must hold a strong hand to win a pot from you
- you understand the real math of the game at least at a basal level
- you have 20000+

Bond, I've just read all your articles and I think they are excellent. I agree that the post above would be very interesting to see in a MTT light.

i'm apparently not observant enough to see my opponents' tendencies or categorize them accurately. anything you could help with in those areas would be great... i felt i was relying too much on pahud and stopped using it for a while. my results went down. started using it again, and they went back up. i guess i'm not sure what information to reduce and retain to help narrow their holdings, etc. it's easier when i see some showdowns but without that, i can't seem to track the frequency (ie vpip) they play or how often they fold to other's cbets, etc. i'd like to play more live but i need the confidence i can do it (well) without the software. thanks.

Bond,

I'd like to learn more about changing gears during the first ante level (120/240/25 on FT), where you have a stack of 30BB.

Also, at 25/50, 30/60, 40/80, gameplans you develop to build your stack depending on table conditions where you are at 30 - 40BB.

Playing the 10-19bb stacks late

An article on hand reading would be awesome.

Bond--

How to play the river after the turn gets checked through, plz. I think it's very hard, and I think most people are terrible at it.

Thanks (whether you do it or not),
