Message: [QUOTE="seachicken, post: 1715747, member: 79568"] [SIZE=3]I played in my first online mtt last night. A friend transferred some money to a site I don’t plan on playing on so I could pop the cherry. (I want the first deposit bonuses) I had just split 1[/SIZE][SIZE=2]st [/SIZE][SIZE=3]place in a live 17 man tournament. [/SIZE] [SIZE=3]I thought I played well finishing 5 out of 38, just in the money, until he started to ask me questions. [/SIZE] [SIZE=3]I played like a solid Donk. I played only my cards not thinking what my opponents had, built large pots with small pot hands, made river bets that only a better hand could call or raise, made bets that my chip stack or opponents stack didn’t give me theright odds.[/SIZE] [SIZE=3]Two main problems I see with my online play; not enough time to evaluate the situation and not being able to read people. I have never considered myself a “tells”player but I found that I am very touchy feely. [/SIZE] [SIZE=3]First problem is I don’t feel I have the time to review the action. During live play after the hand ends I go over all the action and make a mental note of what happened in the hand. I have time to review the hand. Online the next hand is being dealt before I have time to really think what happened or to process who had what at the showdown. [/SIZE] [SIZE=3]Next no ability to read a player. My friend suggested getting a HUD and using this information. I know a lot of player’smulti table so they have to be only using HUD data but is that the only way toget a read online? [/SIZE] [SIZE=3]I don’t have the time to go over all the possible ev situations in big hands. We looked over my hand history after the mtt and he dealt several hands live to me. In almost 90% of the hands I made a different play. [/SIZE] [SIZE=3]I find myself not keeping track of the other players chip stacks. I know it’s right there on the screen but I think I forgot to even consider it at least 3 times last night. [/SIZE] [SIZE=3]What advice can you give me for making the transition? I know play more hands, which is the plan, but any advice would help. I think I will have to drop to smaller stake games. Live I don’t play anything less than $1/$2 and mostly 5/10 cash. And MTT’s nothing lower than $20. [/SIZE] [SIZE=3]Sorry for the long post but I would appreciate the help. My friend started online and I have been helping him play live but he hasn’t been a lot of help. He is great at helping me review my hands but not about advice to transition. [/SIZE] [/QUOTE]
