Optimal strategy against known bad players in lower stakes mtts?

PLAY NAKED

play naked against good players also

NEXT

although my sharkscope shows me as a small loser at stt's over 600 games. I consider myself to be a better mtt player, certainly results and profit and loss would suport this. I am not convinced that using sharkscope gives u accurate results re players in mtt's. Just an opnion mind.

P.S WHATS URE POKER NAME

I disagree its more than likely you have run good in a few mtt's scooping a bigger reward and therefore feel you are a better mtt player because of a few big wins

again i disagree with above. I may not be at the same level of the likes of doobs, Ghadaffi, Rhino et al but i aint far behind. i note that a number of these players run badly in stt's but are clearly talented at mtt's. My name appears regularly in the top 50 leaderbord on betfair so i conclude otherwise.

Personally, I'm getting worried about all these poker-related threads you keep making. Don't you realise this is BETFAIR poker forum. It doesn't happen here ;)

Interesting point RICHPICKENS i find it pointless bluffing in these events early. Using ure position is key especially against doods u have not seen before. More and more fish getting into these MTT'S because of the qualifiers.
You should be licking ure lips

Ghadaffi? Lol.

is that u A.P

Dont think u can argue with GHADAFFI'S rsults (consistent) at between $20-$50 MTT's to be honest.

I know, hoping he would see this. Got very good bankroll management has the Colonel - most improved mtt player on Betfair. He'll be the first to admit I taught him everything he knows ;) (rockme)

ah rockme some good results recently. vn

cheers MM

ty u m8.

Mussleburgh -its true Sharkscope is only a guide but i find looking at stts results more of an indication of a players ability than mtts as one big result can skew the roi completely in mtts

i ask the question because recently in low level mtts i have cashed about twice in 20. thats pretty dire but again variance is a tricky bgger. having said that i havent played particularly well as often i dont give the lower buyins the real focus i should, also i haven't fully adjusted my strategy for the mtts, hence the question

Pointless thread.

Basing SNGs results to determine if a player is a bad MTT player??

.

thats not what the thread is about - read it

I have been playing a lot of £30-£50 mtts recently. with Sharkscope I can see that 70% of the field are crp and only around 15% are winning players

so having played very weak players in mtts a lot in the last week I tried to figure out an optimal strategy for playing against these donks. So far I have

apologies i slightly mis read ure ?

Thinly disguised my sharkscope is cr ap post.

I think abc is probably best btw. Bet big hands hard, punish limpers and do not bluff a calling station. I'd be pretty weary of calling non scandanavian reraises on ip oker. The average reraise range of many players there seems to be just AA and KK.

I don't see any harm in using sharkscope, but I rarely bother. It is usually obvious fairly soon who is a donk and who isn't. And if playing on ip oker just assume anyone who speaks french is a) a donk and b) a calling station.

I'd also say sharkscope is probably more useful later on to see who is scared money late in an MTT, though if you have shut your other tables, you should be able to suss this out fairly easily too!

I know at least 20-30 players who are sh it at SNG,s so there stats look dire on sharkscope. But are some of the best MTT players on here. Your plan is flawed.

For that reason i'm out.

I have not lost money on SNGs so hardly bad compared to alot of players on here. Including u Doobs :-)

As doobs says u should spot the bad players within a orbit or 2. If you don't i'm afraid its you.

Deckie Spider - my post is about strategy, it assumes i use Sharkscope as a guide to player abilities but thats jut an antidote to the main question

so what do u think?

Doobs i agree about reraising ranges being narrow on IPoker for the higher stakes but defo not sub $50 stakes!

It is just a guide ffs. Someone loses 10% on $10 games is likely to be a much worse player than someone who virtually breaks even on $100 games.

And if you read the whole post it was about how to play donks, not how to recognise them.

Doobs

My point was u should not need sharkscope to spot them in the first place..Anyway

All the standard ABC and mix it up e.g.

when you or oppo have raised 4BB+ and you hit or over pair and you lead underbet pot alot of time oppo re raise and re raise.

Early postion Min raises to aggro table with premium (has to be right table) reraise JJ + AQ AK as there ranges lot wider

smaller pairss 2's -7s are leaks imo when playing ur avg donk just hope for set or fold.

'smaller pairss 2's -7s are leaks imo when playing ur avg donk just hope for set or fold.'

agreed

Dont know if this has been said but sharkscope for MTTs? I wouldnt go on that i have a - $4k sharkscope on stars (rigged) But have loads of mtt profit

plays lots of pots smallball and try to catch a flop hit a board.

donks cant pass so try to catch something big and then they stack off.

10/20 level u wouldnt think someone could give away 3000 *****on a one pair hand but they do all the time. even hands like 47 etc are playable in level one 2 of a big mtt because implied odds are so huge.

Sharkscope is a handy tool when playing SNG as it will tell u how some one performs in these games, to compare it with an mtt is ridiculous also cash games. You could lose 1k in a week playing sng but make 10k the same week from mtt and cash, sharkscope will have u down as a fish but u would be a massive winner outside of sng. Some of the best cash and mtt players have negative roi on sng so make what u want of it...

On some sites eg ipoker u can look up mtt results only 000000 so iam assuming this is what hes done.

To add to the list in smaller field mtts 100 to 300 entrys its fine to play almost nitty as long as you can open up your game from the bubble onwards.

Deeper field mtts tag or lag styles must be deployed.
