How to Win an MTT Poker Tournament

[@justinthomas27]

Being able to put in volume like this is good on the mindset so you don’t get tilted from losing a flip

If you're out of position, your decision should be shove or fold, so look at your stack size. If you're in position, you have the additional option of calling or 4 betting. Which path you take if IP will be based on your opponent's style, any history, effective stack sizes, where in the 77-JJ range you are etc. You can take a set mining approach with the low end, and a pure position line with TT, JJ.

this is a very intresting video, i am an (profiabtle) amateur poker player, who ONLY plays MTTs, and what ive learned is, yea having a big stack at the final table is an advantage, i would never give up value, to make it to the final table. because once u get there, all u have to do is play the "ladder game". not that hard. although i would give up value, right before the min cash. because i would rather have a better position, to even make it to the final table. i found that, most of the time, if you are a solid player, AKA confident in short/medium/big stack play, then it doesnt matter. i have come into the final table as a short stack, and just dominated the table, because im a really skilled shortstack player, i am an above average, medium and big stack player. and once it gets to the final 6, alot of people really dont know how to adjust their game. or even 5 handed, or 4 handed, thats where the edge is made. you gotta be a strong 6 max player, and heads up player. think about it, the most money you will make in the tourney, is when it gets down to heads up.

[@planetyam6044]

that's it. I need to be more stupid.

[@nanmapulari4172]

I have spent months investigating poker secrets and found an awesome website at Card Crusher Fixer (google it if you're interested)

[@justinthomas27]

They’re called donkaments for a reason 😉

[@pokerphdio]

I noticed this just recently too! Freudian slip I suppose...hopefully everyone hears the narration and gets the point regardless.

[@ketchup143]

I had an epiphany watching this video. my eyes have truly been opened. they say how hard it is to be an mtt pro. I am very humbled by shaun deeb's results as he has proved the experts wrong.

[@riedstep]

I want a "I'm with big stupid-" shirt

[@justinthomas27]

Crazy how guys put in this amount of volume. He’s basically just a mathematician going for max value when he has the (what he thinks is) most equity and if he loses the flip it doesn’t matter because there’s so much volume the numbers will balance out. Insane

[@elkyelkyelky]

Great explanation and analysis of numbers , of min cash and final table....so helpful

[@mateuschwarz]

Arrives @ FT w big stupid (lol)

[@omarzia]

You really do no know what a big stupid is?

[@luisgrados8310]

Arrives ft w big stupid? WTF?

[@troymcconnell6147]

Thank you for sharing!

[@patrickledonne5547]

Truth here. Best advise i ever got was to play hyper aggressive as the bubble nears. Most people nit up seeking that cash. I've tripled my stack without getting called doing this, and even increased it 10x with action and a little luck. You give up some 2x cashes for better shots at taking down tourneys for 20-25% of the total pool

[@teepspaxton6823]

I haven't had time yet to sift through your material, but if you haven't already, you should get some gameplay commentary, as well-as poker analysis videos. I would personally like to see videos on reading your opponent, situations, and how to get value out of your hands! cheers

[@teepspaxton6823]

So make it to the money, and then take some chances to put yourself into a nice position for the final table.. good video! I often find myself at the end of the bubble, or beginning of the money, blinding out because of one or two bad decisions.. that's why I've always been scared to "take chances" to position myself nicely for the final table.. I'm always worried about surviving, and getting as high up on the pay ladder as possible. Then, the final table is out of the question 99% of the time,

[@ProhibitedCrew]

This looks like line rider

[@tomwangshowhighlights]

15 tournaments a day?! wow...

[@coolmonkey5269]

wow this video made 7 yrs ago i m playing poker fm juzz 1yr

[@EricJaegerMusic]

So to sum it up, they play a huge volume of games, but since they play such a volume of game they can coin flip certain hands in hopes of higher stack, and with a high volume of games they get lucky some certain times to make it to final table with a fat stack. Then he dominates final table by playing for real now with smarter plays

[@buzzin0088]

Can you go more indepth with making it to the final table? I consider myself a really decent tournament player. I played 11$ Sunday Mini Kick off on pokerstars with 9000 players and i finished 21st yesterday but I want to know how to play property with the final tables left. Shaun deeb does something I want to learn, any way you can educate us more about this :)?

[@TheJaYSolo]

same problem i have. I get super deep in everything it seems.... huge fields of avg 2800. But i agree with this video.... and want to learn the same

[@juas003]

Good video. Such a great information, I'm wondering if we will ever have regulated online poker in usa?

[@jonnyht1990]

how do you play mid pairs 7-j's after being 3bet? always find myself in this situation not sure whats plus ev as if you flat and flop 3 under and try get it in youre either dominated or they folded the 50/50pre but you do have the best hand esp wit 1010and jj a good percentage of the time on low stakes 2-12$

[@Ionut.Ciocan87]

From where did you get this info,, mate, I'm really interested, tks

[@elkyelkyelky]

Finished

[@endlessmountain]

13.5 percent cashing is standard as better than 1 in 9 get paid on jokerstars

[@jonnyht1990]

Ever considered making a video on br management? would help a lot

[@svend4988]

20413x135=2.755.755 M . buy in... or think i wrong?

[@iamlegend8509]

Where are you bro ?

[@pokerphdio]

I'm around. Answering comments. Seeing what kinds of videos the fans want to see next!

[@daranga8214]

Excellent work

[@pokerphdio]

We've got a free video here on youtube on Stack Size Considerations. 4 betting, 3 betting, and the full Position video sequence are behind the paywall on the website. I think they would be worth your time. You are asking very intelligent questions and seem ripe for the knowledge.

[@FerreiraTrajano]

Thanks for this video!

[@camlam9524]

great video, thanks mate

[@rkbadshah5443]

Great video

[@RaiBok]

Great video dude

[@charlesbukowski4258]

shortly before comin to money, standard players get to tight, here are chips to make..the same before entering the final table.

[@buzzin0088]

Hey good video u need to make more

[@pokerphdio]

+buzzin0088 do you have a topic request in mind?

[@TrondArneAusdal]

+greenbeanvideos The early stages of MTTs, especially the lower levels, as thats where the most of us have to start.

[@marlonsantana21]

MTT Middle game! Please! Very good vid!

[@pokerphdio]

Beanstalk is totally FREE while I work on other projects. Please LIKE, SUB, and all together view/comment the shit out of my youtube channel. Post to forums, Email links to poker friends etc... love, greenbean

[@wynn2584]

analysis paralysis... there is no structured way to play an mtt, the optimal strategy is to adapt to your opponent whether they are tag or lag

[@takiownspoker7771]

I disagree with your thinking. You need to calculate his average All-In Equity with ICM consideration in all his final tables. Luck plays an insane factor in an MTT player annual income, and some players DO run better than others in final tables of their entire career. This makes a huge difference in a poker player's career.

[@davidp.7620]

Short answer: you run well

[@Tuxster3]

You couldn't have made this video much shorter by simply saying that during the mid-stages of MTTs Shaun likes to gamble and he gets lucky and wins those gambles. You kept saying that skill predominates his play, but you haven't shown this in the video. Please talk about and show where skill predominates.

[@JJTheBigDog]

i lost half my stack after ~3 hours playing although i had ~97% chance winning the hand. how can i avoid that?

[@michaeltutors]

You can't. The hardest but most crucial lesson in poker

[@JJTheBigDog]

haha. i was not serious. lost another hand on 96% the same day.. not sure if i can trust pokerstars.

[@C.J.Enholm]

96% u say? That's 1,5 out? Was it one card that would split the pot and one he was winning on? Enlighten me.

[@tonythrowaway3327]

actually, there is a simple way to avoid that and that's not going all-in unless you have the absolute nuts

[@victorjohnson8266]

Played 1.5 speed. much better

[@MrStevie57]

Novak Djokovic performs at a much higher level in tournaments,he wins at a very high rate.Oh but that's tennis which really is! a game of skill.

[@chriswilson1968]

Running back and forth hitting a ball doing the same thing over and over. It takes more endurance than skill lol

[@skrufy11]

see i must play, 2 mtt a day, and i play the complete opposite way. super loose Agro, at the very beginning, when everyone has over 200 blinds. and then i tighten up during the middle, then i tight aggressive on the final table.

[@jonnyht1990]

thanks yeah i checked it out

[@YammzFGC]

there are a few sites that accomodate us players. lock poker is a legitimate site and has deposits and withdrawls

[@skullduggery3377]

i'm 'big stupid'....and i resemble that remark...

[@kkoz474]

I arrive with big stupid not only @ FT, but @ every tournament I play

[@ketchup143]

do u think this will happen in, say, 3-5 years? if not, im probably going to leave the country at some point.

[@clintrichardsonclintfromny203]

So, its been 5 years. Did you win a tournament or leave the country?

[@ronhernandez8857]

experience edge lol you can't get more accommodating than that

[@stevenst6337]

2.3% final tables over an entire career. Damn

[@ronpepper8315]

He was on UB and there was a lot cheating going on there, I know for a fact, I played in a horse tourney with a friend of mine at his office. We logged in from different computers signed up for the same tourney and they put us on the same table. He supposedly retired after black friday cause he knew he would be investigated as other players

[@brandonhall7968]

2.7 million in entries, 1.8 million in winnings? 14 tournaments per day?

[@RaMaZzZOTT1]

1.8 mil in profit. ;)

[@anehakaur4296]

exactly, but , If anyone else wants to find out about online poker tips and strategies check out *Banfan Insider Card Secrets* (do a search on google)? Ive heard some pretty good things about it and my friend got cool success with it.

[@anehakaur4296]

[@anehakaur4296]

informative video , If anyone else is searching for poker tips and tricks check out *Banfan Insider Card Secrets* (just google it)? Ive heard some awesome things about it and my co-worker got amazing success with it.

[@davidp.7620]

That's why he is the best ever

[@pokerphdio]

I think we will. There is enough political will. The problem is that will is fragmented across diverse interest groups that cannot agree: Indian Tribes, State Lotteries, Horse Racing, Nevada Casinos. Some form of consensus will emerge eventually. The moral conservative voters and politicians have a clear opposition to it, but I truly feel they are a loud minority in the issue. I wouldn't wait around for it. Play live. It will pass as suddenly and unannounced as the UIGEA did.

[@pokerphdio]

$2.7M in Buy-Ins. 1.8M in $Profit. Correct. So, $4.5M in Winnings.

[@pistoleroh2]

just to point this out . his annual % growth is around 13.5% . With all that work u may as well invest the money in the stock market.

[@mikeswivel1291]

can u give a cheap lesson Green Bean?

[@plastikaaa]

Great to now that you had to be "big stupid" to come to the final table with big stack and win

[@leooo1867]

20000 torments * 135$ = 2,7 million Profit 1,8 million 1,8 - 2,7 = 0,9 million loss??

[@shin8822]

we get it. shaun deeb is good at poker.

[@johnspence8141]

Um, ok. So his AVERAGE buyin is $135? And he entered 20,413 games in that time period? So he paid $2,755,755 in entry fees? To win $1,800,000? Um...so you're actually saying his NET (I know you say profit but...) is 1.8 M?

[@craig1131]

John Spence a net profit of 1.8M yes

[@nicholasbruce280]

another example of however someone tries to teach something there are always gonna be morons going on about how he made a mistake just like doug polk says)))

[@Unkn0wN21]

If I play 5 tournaments a day $5,$10,$25,$30,$50 AVG = $24; We take his $1,800,000/4 yrs = 450,000/yr. Divide 450,000/5.625 (I get 5 from $135avgbuyin/$24ouravg) = $80,000 a year playing 5 tournaments a day and performing like Shaun Deeb.

[@daveoberry3075]

useless the for wasting my time. how is this (how to win MTT)?
