Default Re: MTT Strategies

Big difference(OK well Ive only played in like 4 X 100+ tourneys 1 live-4th place BTW-) from what I can see is ALOT more limping is allowed in low buy in tourneys especially early. Some people in higher buy in tourneys will simply pop any stray limpers if they are on the button or even CO. People tend to play mid pairs for more value from what I ve seen in bigger buyins. They consequently will make raises and reraises with hands like 8-8 9-9 and 10-10. In smaller buy ins people shy away from raising with 9-9 etc... bc donkeys will simply not fold their AQ AJ QJ KQ KJ... and then they wont respect the preflop agression post flop rather with TPTK they will simply call you down. So basically much more of the higher buyin tourneys are preflop games, and the lower buyins are post flop games..sort of. Also bc people will simply call of their chips more frequently hands like AXs and baby pairs are worth playing even for a modest raise bc if they hit there is a good chance you will get paid in a smaller buying tourney.

So to review--Big Buy in--- MORE AGGRESSIVE PREFLOP AND JUST GENERALLY.

Small Buy in-- More passive preflop and MUCH MUCH more calling.
