WEEK ONE:Fifty Factors that win a Poker tournament

[Steve]

We'll discuss what it takes to win...in speaking with M X 5 - we had a good conversation with regards to what it takes to win.

We like to have lots of input from our members with regards to the factors that it takes to win...be very specific.

Then from there we can take each as its own - and create presentations around how to play each situation etc.

Ex. Ability to 3 bet determined by Stack Sizes with 20-30 BB

Mark _ I'll look for you to expand.

We can start by putting the ideas down - then next week we can rank our top 50....

I came up with over fifty, some blur into each other and some I have never used and don't know the correct way to play them.
I think preparation is a good place to start and this can be broken down into several points:

Physical health to win an MTT you are going to have to play for a long time and still be at your best, exercise and nutrition will help this.

Mental health being angry or emotional will lead to poor decisions, some players meditate to help them achieve better results.

Focus plan to have time to complete the tourney with no distractions.

Bankroll play within your limits, so you can play to your maximum.

Understand the tournament structure and how it will effect your play.

Study the subject of poker.

Look into the play of players you will routinely play.

Revaluate your game , so you dont become predictable.

Have a good life balance.
