Also I played about ten 45-mans tonight and shipped two 1sts and two 2nds. I've been pretty much raping the 45-mans since I started grinding them in early December. I give a LOT of credit to my daily grinding of the 45-mans to my recent string of final tables and solid scores. The 45-mans keep me incredibly sharp at final two table play, final table bubble play, final table play, shorthanded play, and HU play. All the necessary skills to pwning MTTs can be learned and sharpened in 45-mans. Obviously, 45-mans are just abbreviated MTTs and the situations are all the same. Here are my 45-man results since December 1st:
And the graph:
And this is what I truly mean about "raping" these:
After playing nearly 300 of these things, the position I've finished in the MOST times (out of all forty-five possible finishing positions) is 1st place. And clearly once I'm down to three-handed play I'm completely dominating as I have five more 1st place finishes than 2nd and 3rd place combined. I was blown away when I looked at this chart earlier today.
I'm 110% sure all my practice and aggression in the 45-mans over the last 40 days is a major part of my recent string of final tables and nice cashes in scheduled MTTs. Confidence breeds more confidence in poker and the confidence from the plays I make in the 45-mans to push deeper and deeper in the field easily spills over into the MTTs. I'm in a really good zone right now and I wouldn't trade it for the world.
