MTT Strategy $240 buy-in
On Feb 27th and 28th there is a 2 day poker tourney that you can qualify for or buy-in for $240 provided you have met the entry requirements. It is actually a big event just for the state that I live in (Aus) which is ran by 888 but a live game just like the 'pub/bar poker games' that they run on a weekly basis.
Obviously this is a way bigger event than their little $0-35 weekly games where the old people/degenerates/donkeys/im better than you players come play and try and win/have fun.
I am unsure what would be the best way to play a tourney like this, given a large part of the field playing it will mostly end up being level 0,1 and sometimes level 2 players. It'll be full of limping everywhere and someone may 3-4bet and may still get half the table calling.
I don't know the levels yet but probably will start at 50/100 I guess
100,000 stack stack
30min levels
$40,000 prize pool with $15,000 for 1st ($240 entry no rake)
Any advice?

Nobody is on the forums to provide any insight? ahaha
100k starting stack? Is that for real?
Yes for real, because the players are all the bad donk/station types and its a $240 buy in but majority of players will have 'earned' a ticket through a 'donkament' at a pub where final table everyone has <10BB...so they give $30,000T to players in those games which is anywhere from free to $35 to play hence their logic is to give everyone massive stacks, but there is legitimate cash up for grabs and I need to work out the best way to tackle it.
If the tournament is filled with weak players you'll need to play very solid, don't try and execute any moves you think will work on thinking players as they'll just call, and wait for them to punt off their stack.
If they're as bad as you say you can build pots with your strong hands by raising all the limps and either take it down with a c-bet or if you both catch a piece take down an even bigger pot.
Agree. Just play solid/straightforward. Look for spots to pick up lots of dead money when they all limp/call. No need for elaborate bluffs since they won't understand anyways.
I also think you should play very tight for awhile. 100k at bb100 is a ridiculously huge stack. You're in no rush to do anything. Sit back and watch the donks go nuts and try to pick up reads. These guys should be full of live tells and bet sizing tells.
What i'm wondering is should I even c-bet when the flop is bad for me if they are non-observant stations who love to call.
Also, I will probably open 3x UTG i get 4x callers or I raise 7x after 4 limps on BTN and get 5 calls.
With c-betting against these types of players I would be prepared to fire a 2nd barrel on turn. A lot of times they will have nothing and cant continue after 2nd barrel.
I would raise a strong linear range in position against ep/mp limpers, alot.
I would also try to play alot Ax and Kx suited hands, fishes might have troubles folding flushes even if its a very big pot. I would also vpip very high % in position, If you have a significant postflop edge on these guys! Just keep an eye on everyones tendencies and try to handread very good postflop.
Bet strong with valuehands&good semibluffs, dont try to run multi street bluffs with air.
Dont be afraid to overbet when laid a good opportunity. Fishes dont have good idea how to defend against them.
