I have a really large bankroll and I always go all in on the first hand of every MTT I play.

Fear me you [censored] [censored] [censored]. In fact just transfer your entry fee to my account on stars. PM me for it.

Edit: Dont hate me cause my [censored] got by the censor. I didnt do anything but hit post.

Edit again: I'm gonna censor myself in these uncertain times.

As evidenced clearly by Joseph Hachem, far and away the best tournament no-limit holdem player in history. A full 50% better than his nearest competitor, Greg Raymer.

This sounds like a great, fun idea - but extremely complicated...I would be very interested in seeing how you progress and/or being a guinea pig.

Good luck.

I think that a MTT IQ test would have to have questions about strategy, and not so much about odds. A typical question would ask how to play a hand like this early on against a UTG limper:

Table '13241924 36' Seat #9 is the button
Seat 1: flmodesq21 (2540 in chips)
Seat 2: JHRose (2915 in chips)
Seat 3: thrillhill (3165 in chips)
Seat 4: check_kills (3055 in chips)
Seat 5: Joethegamble (4420 in chips)
Seat 6: mrh86 (2725 in chips)
Seat 7: sulcata (3120 in chips)
Seat 8: GG X WR (2015 in chips)
Seat 9: #1UT Voll (2255 in chips)
flmodesq21: posts small blind 50
JHRose: posts big blind 100
*** HOLE CARDS ***
Dealt to mrh86 [6c 6s]
thrillhill: calls 100
check_kills: folds
Joethegamble: folds
mrh86: calls 100
sulcata: folds
GG X WR: folds
#1UT Voll: folds
flmodesq21: calls 50
JHRose: checks
*** FLOP *** [Td 8h Ts]

What would your answer to the question be mrh86? Say the question was worth 4 marks, what would you have to say to get each mark? If you think this question has a right answer, then that would be perfect, but if I am giving this to 100 odd people, then I can't go through each question for each person and judge it on its own merit. I need a more viable option.

how about something simple like this
explain why, if you have less than 8xBB and have a hand you would normally raise 3xBB you should raise all-in instead of making your normal raise.

not too hard to mark, reasonably easy to quantify if they understand the concepts and possible to give credit if they make a reasonable argument about why the statement is wrong.
