Study more, be patient to develop good hands, play in position, and be aggressive when necessary.

Keep grinding, it's not easy bro
Poker is a very cruel thing, since there are no rebuts in this games, you should try to not lose your stack in the first few orbit. Have patience and your hands will come

Only about 10% wins, so keep it up :)

Be patient, you won't always win tournaments. If you don't achieve this, you'll have a hard time playing without tilt.

Patience, lots of patience. CC freerolls aren't easy; there are some very good players here. My advice: as I said before, be patient. Try to take notes on the players, evaluate where you went wrong, and try to correct it. And very importantly, don't give up. There are good days and bad days, so don't give up even if it feels impossible.

Congrats on taking the shot at Silver level, that’s already a step forward. 💪

First thing: one tournament means nothing. Variance in MTTs is brutal, especially as you move up. Don’t judge your level based on one result.

If your goal is to get “in the prizes zone” more consistently, here are a few practical adjustments:

- Tighten up early. At new stakes, avoid marginal spots until you get comfortable with the player pool.
- Respect stack sizes near the bubble. Pay attention to who’s trying to ladder and who’s abusing it.
- Study push/fold ranges for 15–25bb stacks — that’s where a lot of tournaments are won or lost.
- Avoid unnecessary hero calls. At these levels, population tends to under-bluff in big spots.
- Review your bust-out hand every time. Ask: was it variance, or was there a better line?

Also, make sure your bankroll supports the level. Moving up is great, but staying comfortable mentally is even more important.

Keep playing, keep reviewing, and don’t let one result define you. The “prizes zone” comes from consistency, not one deep run. ♠️

Don't expect to win some cash very often, despite the fields are small, but there are also sometimes some strong experienced players around.

If you manage to get in the money about 20-30% in of the times you played a tournament then you can say you run good.

Most players even top ones are more in the range of up to 20% ITM. What makes the difference is the amount of 1st and 2nd placements in these 20%.

Just starting out in Silver, congrats, the play is a bit stiffer so you have to adjust your style maybe. avoid going in with garbage and also do not play with emotion, keep a level head with every hand. Good Luck!

If the intention is only to reward, be patient; the bubble takes time to burst, and someone always gets involved too early and falls through.
