Message: [QUOTE="dmorris68, post: 1501244, member: 40397"] Nobody's claiming it's a smart strategy, not even the author I mentioned. He's not saying "play all of your MTTs like this," he's saying that if you have any doubts or underestimations of the importance of position, this strategy can cure you of that oversight. Post-flop play is played by a chart of pre-determined actions, just like pre-flop play. You will sometimes get called down by a better hand, but you'll often fold out the villain(s) or get called down by worse. As a rule you're never going all-in (well, not until you're on life support), so your risk is relatively small when the blinds are small and stacks are deep. It works well enough that you'll generally have amassed a pretty large stack by the time you do get called down to the river and lose. The reason I said it's best against micro or low-limit players is because the majority of them will play consistently enough that you can read them. Whether that's consistently bad or consistently mediocre or whatever, they tend to not change gears. Better players not only change gears and are harder to read, but they're more likely to pick up on what you're doing and exploit you back, hence the distinction. That's not to say there aren't very good micro/low stakes players, they're just a very small minority. I don't want to fully reproduce Snyder's basic position strategy here as it might not be appropriate, but the books are inexpensive and well-reviewed. I've enjoyed the first one, and look forward to the advanced strategies in Vol II. It's definitely a different take on MTTs than HoH, and in fact while he credits HoH with a lot of good strategy, he disagrees on a point or two. Bottom line is it's a fresh approach to the usual boilerplate tourney strategies I'm used to reading. I can highly recommend them if for nothing else than a different way of looking at MTTs.
