MTT Week 1 Review

So the last week I gave myself a challenge to try out grinding some MTTs on Full Tilt, and it went ok. Ok, as in not great, but not bad... just ok. After 6 days and 159 MTTs I'm up a measly $51... but I'll take it! My bankroll has climbed a bit since a week ago which is good, mainly thanks to cashing in a Super Turbo sng $75 after using a token from my Iron Man promotion, and running decently in the $7 Super Turbos too. Its kinda nice to be putting in less volume on them actually, I tend to do better shorter sessions, but this is definitely something that I should improve on.

I've been mainly grinding the Turbo $6 27 mans, I kinda get the feeling that the players are kinda weak, especially when it gets to the final table, most of them are just too tight, and with a big stack its easy to manipulate the situation. However, since I like to start the day with MTTs and finish with Super Turbos, the volume of [European] players aren't as high as later on, and the 27 mans take a while to fill up.

I'm also the type of guy who lacks patience. I find the KO 90 mans are a long affair, and after playing for 2 hours is it really worth the time and money? You can be grinding these for ages and not cash, and when you do, since its structured so steeply its a lot of pressure to cash big. I find the same with the scheduled tournaments, they take ages and the payouts may not be worth your while unless you get top 5 or something...

Last night I had the most insane Super Turbo session, I played 31 sngs, got a ITM percentage of 42% which is really good, but still made a loss of $24 because I lost 7 heads up. Never won one. Was ridiculous. And then the final 4 tables totally sucked out on all of them including a sick 3 way all in when I had KK vs 99 vs AT 5 handed and the board ran JTTTT.

Now its the end of Week 1 and I think I'm gonna continue grinding the MTTs. As you were... as such, but I'll make it more formal in the next blog...
