My tickets have arrived! (that I won in the bet365 competition).

In time for the weekend, which is...

My tickets came as MTT tickets, which means I am going to be playing some MTT's to convert them into cash. In my mind I had set myself a month or two before I 'switch' to MTT's.

Because I definItely plan on learning MTT's properly for #BOM .

But I'm actually really pleased with how things have worked out. Why was I waiting so long to start honing my MTT skills? Fear of breaking out of my comfort zone that's why! I know basics of mtts:

- Decently tight ranges for early phases.

- Have some understanding of push fold for shallow stacks.

- Have an idea about ICM for getting near the money.

Hell I even grinded a tonne of 45mans about 6 months ago when I learnt MTT's for the first time as I knew eventually I would need to be a good MTT player to realise my poker ambitions. Most of my current MTT strategy I picked up from Asaban on Pokerstrategy in a 5 part video course I took. So I'm not a complete novice.

Time to stop looking at this tournament MTT bull

and instead take it by the horns!!

I'm looking forward to this. The good thing about having MTT tickets also, is it creates nice start and finish goals for a mini challenge. So my new challenge right now will be to play all of my tickets.

I have: -

1 x 50
5 x 30
7 x 10, and
6 x 5

I'm going to share my challenge with you heros by writing a brief post with an update after each tournament I play towards this challenge, and I'm going to call the challenge

#mttbythehorns :)

My next step after I've eaten will be to prepare my setup. Find my MTT charts...

Setup twitch on a small tv next to my pc so I can enjoy watching twitch while I'm on my grind (and learn a tonne I hope from awesome MTT players at the same time).

and... Install HM2 (I haven't used a tracker in over a year! As i've been playing on Unibet).

My food is going cold, but I couldn't wait to tell you guys about my plan so I'll finish here and go eat :)

but then again... :)

MAYBE NOT!
