Online MTT's are beatable and profitable for many on this forum and not because the deck is hitting them consistently.

There are very few people who make a ton of cash at MTT online...some of them post here but if you are a winning 10-20 player(and your intial post said you were) you are MUCH better off value wise grinding mid level limit games $$ wise...enjoyment wise is a different story entirely.

My advice is if you are playing for $$ only use MTT as a stress reducer bc its a leak in most players bankrolls.

A sure fire way to choose who to pick on is the time they burn. If they are burning clock every hand, you know they won't make a stand unless they have a top 6 hand. These are the players you want to rape.

Not up on the terminology but sounds interesting. What is burn? Can you explain in laymans terms please?

They are stalling, hoping that others will get knocked out and they will slide into the money. "Burn" has no significant meaning. It's an expression--buring up the clock.

If you people think you can win a tourney without having major luck thats ok. When Raymer won the WSOP he got ridicoulously lucky , yet Im sure the WSOP was +ev for him..do u ppl get my point?

I think most will agree that you have to get lucky at some point to win a tournament. You certainly have to survive more than a couple of coinflips and bad beats. But after surviving the early minefield action there are sound strategies and tactics for building a stack so hopefully you have the other guy covered when getting into coinflip or bad beat situations.

But the point that I and others are making is that you have to get yourself into position to get lucky. That means taking advantage of situations and the opportunities they present along the way. You have to get a little lucky for sure but you have to know what to do once you do get lucky and you have to get yourself into position to get lucky and that is where the skill comes in and why you see certain individuals consistently cashing and making final tables.

Bad luck or breaks shouldnt be the reason you're knocked out of a tourney in most cases. You should be constantly picking up small pots ... and those small pots should compensate for the bad breaks youll encounter in the tourney.
