Hey panda im looking to get staked but it seems parttimepoker and 2+2 lean toward stacking players at low levels and low volume games.How did you go about getting stacked?Im a winning player but my numbers wont blow any one away opr says i have 12,000 in profit this year with a 42% roi sharkscope says 6months 5,427 13%roi.I was wondering if you think (knowing you have been staked) if  a staker would  be interested?

Could you give me some advice on things I should improve for my next live tourney? 

Are you playing any more epts?

hey it was great playing with you twice 😀  I would suggest opening up a bit, maybe taking some creative lines like triple barreling against someone you know only has 1 pair most of the time.  a lot of the time you would just cbet and give up and if you do that for a couple hours you will obviously get credit if you run a big bluff vs the right opponent.  you could open up more suited gappers in early/mid position and use those as your bluff hands postflop if need be,  or you can just cbet/ give up etc… try 3betting light more, you had me on your right – perfect candidate. 

i think you played solid though, although the Ac check raise i already told you i woulda just shipped the river, hes never folding for extra 10k but if you ship he will be like omg this kid has the nut flush everytime zomg take 10 mins and fold

Been grinding the 18 mans on FTP. Been a lil profitable not over the top. About what volume size is good to judge my success in these?

I've been playing with pokerstove and a fold equity calculator taking equity if called vs. calling range + times villan folds to figure out my EV.  Tell me if this makes sense to you.

9 handed blinds 500/1000 100 ante

UTG-CO fold

BTN min raises to 2000

Pot = 4400

sb folds

HERO 20bb's deep in BB w/JTs – it's a profitable shove vs. non-nits because villan is only calling with top 10% hands and folding 90% of the time.  When we shove JTs to make this profitable villan only needs to fold 72% of the time with the chips in pot pre.  He's folding 90+% of the time per a common estimate and read of X villan. 

Does this make sense? 

Seems like this is also even more profitable doing this via the squeeze play.  When a passive MP raiser comes in for 2.5x and gets the btn to call I can profitably shove JTs, 89s, 67s type hands 20bb's deep from blinds. 

Does this make sense?

Satellite question:

Which would you play and why? A 10 man sat. for $110, one person wins entry to an $1100 event….10 min. levels. Or a 30 man same bi, 3 win entry to the same event…15 min levels. Assume competition is weak-avg and may not make the propper adjustments to the stucture.

i would probably play them both if i was looking for volume to grind.  the first one preferred though

yeah definitely shove hands like broadways and suited connectors against late position opens they are profitable if they're opening wide.  also villain would be calling top 10% say , but you can't know he's folding 90% because he's probably not opening 100%.  make sure you factor that in

What are the HUD stats should one aim for to be a successful MTT player?

 

Ie:Flops seen, aggression, etc..

 

Thanks

Tim

don't worry about stats i didn't use a hud for a long time and had pretty good results because it made me pay more attention to the actual gameflow and player dynamics.

focus on playing good poker.
