so i have started back playing these mttsng again, i havn't played them in about 18months or more and when i did it was back in the days of fulltilt and i never bothered with turbos. the structure on fulltilt was 6min blinds but had alot more levels in them compared to the turbos on stars today. so turbos are a bit of new ground for me.
i don't have a big sample size done probably a couple of hundered 18,45 and 180's and the majority of these would be 45'sand buyins for the most part would be $7 with some $15 and $2-3 thrown in aswell.
ok on to my point, when it gets on in the tournie and you become shortstacked about 10bbs i take it that the stratagey here still is to steal the blinds and look for people who are limp opening and then try and push over them from late position to force a steal of the blinds and a laydown from the limper. my range for this would be, pp's, suited/unsuited connectors, suited one gappers, any suited ace, A7o+, K9+, Q10+ or there abouts. anyhow i have noticed alot of this limping with big holdings from early position players with 10-15bb stacks, while i wouldn't mind a limp with maybe AA or KK i have seen alot of limping with AK and AQ type hands a few AJ thrown in there aswell and even down as far as 99 while the table is still 9handed. ok if the table is getting shorthanded down around 5 or 6 players then obviously it would make sense to try and induce some one to shove over you lightish if you have a decent hand as by pushing the only person that will call you will be another big hand, but at a full 9 handed table this shurely can't be +EV long term or is this a new angle to get people to try and push you off your hand when you have a monster dissguised?
is this the norm?
just throwing it out there to see what people think, obviously i could be miles behind here and this could be the norm with years.
