5 Tips to RUN DEEP in More Tournaments
Published 2024-03-13
To win poker tournaments, you have to play every stage of the tournament very well! That means the early stages, where deep-stacks are prevalant, and weak players haven't been knocked out yet! From there, you'll need to master how to play with a short stack, and also how to play nearing the money (tournament bubble).
If you're going to win though, you need to have stamina! Many players lose 1 big hand, tilt off, and they're out of the tournament because of bad decisions! If you can be mentally sharp, and learn how to play each stage well, you're going to run deep more often, and win more poker tournaments!
If you want to test your tournament poker skills, and see if you have what it takes to run deep, check out this poker quiz: pokercoaching.com/blog/quiz-online-mtt-quiz/

Jonathan, I really like the way you explain the "why" behind the charts. I also appreciate how you discuss the other factors that you should consider, such as where we are in the tournament and payout implications. I am really struggling to learn how to make the charts work for me. Your explanations help. Thank you.

Thanks for posting these kind of videos ... Got a big one 2500 buy in and thats the largest buy in i have ever done ... took 17th in a tournament for 8 grand last month ..i really wanna crack the 5 digit payout sometime .... I mostly play tight but aggressive... anyway much appreciated.

I just bought your book sir and so far 40 pages in it is a great read and I will encourage everyone that wants to learn how to play GTO poker with your knowledge to get the book!

The tilt thing resonates with me. Years ago, when I was very inexperienced, I was playing an online cash game and flopped two pair, got my stack in, and got outdrawn. Then I rebought, tilted off another buy in, and was so mad that that beat cost me two buy ins. Wow, was that a loser mindset. Great advice and video, as always.

Thanks, Johnathan! I love your videos, books and other coaching materials. All I know about good poker comes from you! I would like to share my small success - I won the Ladies Event during Polish Poker Championships early this month! I still have a lot to do but I really feel I am making progress! 🌹🌹🌹

I'm not a tournament player, but this past week i came in 1st, 21st, 1st, and 1st. I'm just getting started, and anything Jonathan can offer to help me improve in the future, I'm definitely going to listen to, and study from.

I’ve started playing poker 3 months ago and have played about 10 tournaments and finally got 3rd last week.

If you're still live, I would love if you had basic clue on the game but can only play 1 evening a week. But can study 30mins a day where would you focus your time to maximise improvement and efficiency of your time

I came 4th the other day in a pko . When there was about 30ish players i lost 2 flips almost in a row. 1st i had A 9 s against a shorter stack with aj off. A hand or 2 later i had 10s against a lower pair(cant remember their pair) that caught a set on the river. So i was left with less then a blind. Well i picked my spots and fought my way to 4th.

I'm reminded of the last tournament I played. A guy sat down to my left and was acting as if he was looking for a double up or reenter. To his credit, his acting worked and I was all-in drawing to 6 outs. When I hit, he absolutely lost his shit and bought in and busted twice more that I know of in the following 20 minutes.
