What´s most important in a NL-MTT? Preflop-system?

As you recieve a hand in a tournament you think about alot of things thats positive or negative for your EV. How stong hand do you need to raise? Well anyway, what do you think is most important, rate them.


-Actions from other players
-Position (How many is going to act after)
-Reads and handstrength (handstrength and comparance, gap-concept)
-Reads (Post-flop play, bettingpatterns, what moves will work, what read they have on you?))
-Blindsize (compared to stack and much value to steal)
-Table and involved players tightness tightness (easy/hard to steal blinds)

My own list would be like this:
1. Actions
2. Postion
3. Table and involved players tightness (easy/hard to steal blinds)
4. Blindsize
5. Reads and handstrength (handsstrength and comparance, gap-concept)
6. Reads (Post-flop play, bettingpatterns, what moves will work, what read they have on you?)


Opinions on my rating?

Well based on this rating we now can create a system.

Blinds (100/200) 350/800 players left, 80 places paid, 20$ Freezeout NL Texas Holdem

Button (t4375)
SB (t8160)
BB (t2270)
UTG (t6915)
UTG+1 (t13325)
MP1 (t2025)
MP2 (t4370)
MP3 (t17470)
You (t20835)

Preflop: You is CO with QQ.
4 folds, MP3 calls t200


Ok, so let´s use the system

1. Actions - 1 call
2. Position - Good position
3. Table and involved players tightness - Table is loose, player MP3 limps alot
4. Blindssize - Blindssize is still very small
5. Reads and handstrength - read is: MP3 raises his top hands and limps alot of average hands.
6. Reads - MP3 bettingpattern is easy to read, His read on you is prob tight/agg.


Maybe you could rate the situation with numbers according to this system, you have any suggestions?

For example, on the bubble, nr 3. the table tightness greatly increases and you can raise more often with +EV.
Another example is when you have no read for the othere players handstrength, thats very -EV.

Please help, and we´ll make this system a great one.
