Congrats Pod1

GREGHOGG

Hi,

Many of the regular mtt players will know Pod1. He asked me a question on my blog that i thought would be better answered here as i don't have as much live experience as i do online.

Pod says  "i got my first big live event(ish) got to national finals of the nutspoker league in nov, and want some advice on playing in a live event on a bigger scale than a local pub league. regionals was 65 people, nationals will be about 200. please help"

The obvious things are things like observe the table and start slowly. But i'm hoping people may be able to specifically advise pod on this sort of comp. Also lets all wish him good luck!

Thanks in advance

Greg

good luck man, think a few things i'd insist on is not playing too many pots early on, play the cards and when you do pick up strong hands play them strongly as it's usually limpers galore in offline tournaments

Hi
The best advice i can give you is play your own game, if it got you there then it cant be to bad.
Enjoy the experience.

I've never played live so I'll skip that bit, but very well done & good luck in the next leg!

 DEFINATLY.... Be the aggressive player when it comes to limpers, 3x BB raise with +1 for every limper... Most will fold to the raise and the 1's that call will noly hit flop 1 in 3 so a cont. bet is always advisable, they will give you a lot of respect because you were the preflop raiser. Very profitable way of playing but dont do it too much as they will soon start to slow play you
