Most of you here proboly don't know me but i play a lot of poker at the micro level right now. I really need to start spending a little more time in the forums instead of watching vids. I am proboly the sickest of them all when it comes to learning and putting in time on and away from the tables. I am currently trying to hook up with other players just as sick as i am! Anyway i have been looking to tone down on my agression; So that i am not such a spew tard 4 to 6 hours into these mtt's. Usually when i am 40+ bigs i am playing very laggy with ante, stealing pots ect! 30-40 i am usually opening as usual late but i tighten up in ep ect ect ect. My biggest problem is knowing when to stop trying to run over the table when i am 40+ bigs!!!! Is there really a point in the tourney post ante where i should just look to pick my spots sparringly being so deep?
Thanks in advance TPE

thinking about it, i usually tighten up when i am about double average. yes its good to open up your game when you are deep, but you cant just continue to own people, they will adjust so you need to adjust with them.
so if you are opening often, and you get 3bet twice in a row or something like that, i would make sure the next hand i open i am doing for value rather than just to steal.
Im not sure its bb or “deepness” dependable… table dynamics are much more crucial, if you can pound on the table and they are still folding keep doing it- don't stop
If they are beginning to make a stand like benny said just start picking your spots.
Until your opponents give you a reason to stop exploiting them, keep exploiting them…

How many tables do you have going? Few enough that you have good reads on your opponents? This fast or slow or how ever should be totally table dependant. Short tight stacks to the left, keep it up. Laggy big stacks to the left, just have to see what they let you do. There is no real cut and dried answer to this just go with your reads.

just keep raising any pair, broadway, SC's, gapped SC's, suited aces, offsuit aces… like top 35% and more if ur in LP as long as noone starts playing back at you regularly. If you start raising any two in any position it will happen sooner. So raise quite often w hands that flop wel, play ur position. When ur down to about 30bb i'd limit my raises to strong hands in EP and when in LP to steal and play position, but not w 37o and other crap. You still want to have some credibility when u raise so ur not loosing 10bb in an orbit raise folding. Dont feel bad folding an orbit once in a while to use that image and open up another orbit like you've been hit by the deck. Being relentless aggro will only work once in a 1000 to take one down, but controlled aggression will get you further in a few. Even if you're 100-150bb deep, too much aggression can see ur stack dwindle down very fast if u think you can push anyone off from their hand. Some situations you can turn it up like crazy, but one gear only wont get you far most of the time. It's better to steal 3-4 times succesfully than to try it 9/9 and only succeed twice when loosing more during the other 7 attempts. Experience will ultimately show u which styles are best to get through certain fields, and ultimately I will learn too 🙂
