Hi guys and seasons greetings 
I'd like to ask all of you to get involved in this one, and there's a bit of a festive poker prize in it for you too.
It's been a buzz working on the site the last couple of months, and this December as an MTT coach in residence I'll be bringing you a three-part live coaching on how to survive and play optimally at the different stages of MTTs.
In week one (look out for it in the schedule, week of the 1st December), we'll be looking at the early stages of play in MTTs, deep-stacked spots and what considerations should be paramount here. How to stack your villains for max value and how to play different formats optimally in the early stages, from rebuys to KOs to good old traditional freeze-outs.
I want to ask everyone to chime in and send hands, which will be featured for discussion in the live coaching. Please send hands from the early stages of a tournament, let's say where the effective stack in play table is generally at or over 60-70bbs. We'll keep the hands here but without commenting on them just yet, saving all that for the coaching.
Whoever posts the best example of poker ownage in the early stages, be it sick value or a bluff, will get the chance to be featured in a juicy guest spot in one of my own training videos early on in the New Year. I'll get you on mic with me on the vid and give you some time on the poker airwaves. Who knows, it could be the first step towards your own career as a poker coach.
So if you think you have what it takes to offer some nice reasoning on a great play in early stages MTT poker, drop the hand in here. Whether or not your hand gets picked as the sickest of the bunch or not, you can be sure we'll cover it with some analysis in my up-coming live coaching series: "Xmas Cracker: How To Crack The Early Stages of MTTs"
Happy Christmas
and good luck at the felt!
