Live mtt question
Settings :
60 players, freeroll (it's actually some kind of "league" where if you finish in the top 10% of the tournament you earn a ticket to the monthly where you can then earn a ticket to the district and then to some kind of big tourney on TV where they have nice prizes...) anyway I play this for fun and have more "live poker" experience as it's pretty limited so far.
Alright... I don't like the structure as I think it's too fast for a live tournament but then again it's on weeknight so I guess they have to keep it short.
Stacks starts at 10,000
Blinds 100 / 200
Changes every 15 minutes (no middle level, always double)
200-400
300-600
400-800
500-1000
1000-2000
2000-4000 etc... you get the idea.
Alright my question is... with these crazy-fast blinds what range of card you have to get to play a hand? I'm sure it's more aggresive than usual live tournaments but I'm wondering...
I doubled up fairly early with AK against A10 (btw it's filled with donks) and then I didn'T catch anything really payable to bust out in 25th or so place on a 910J 2 spades board with Q10 the guy called with 5-6s and hit the As on the river though luck but that's poker.
Anyway liike I said, I'm wondering with the settings, type of players and blind pace , how you'd play that type of tourney?

When the blinds are "cheap", and you have some postion get into hands with a suited face, suited connectors, mid-connectors, basically anything that will pay off big if you hit.
You really don't have time to mess around with playing "poker", just get into basic B-I-N-G-O mode.
Or do what moose says, play loaded
