Since I haven't been able to post about wins and I didn't want to post about breaking even I went a new direction. I play the lower buy-in MTT's when I can and it seems alot of people that read this site also do. I was wandering how I could improve my game and share it with this site. The idea came to ask top internet players if they would do a Q&A with me that I could share on Tworags.

The first player to come to mind was PURPLEPILS99. I have railed him many times and watched him make some nice scores. I also noticed while railing him that he was very friendly and outgoing to the rail as well as the table. Well I pm'd him and he said yes. I said SWEET! Then I had to come up with questions that I think many low limit players have. I also didn't want to ask too many questions and make it a burden on him. I decided on just a few simple questions.

What limits did you start off at?

"Limits I started at were play chips obv, I used to play play chips for hours and freerolls to get better, I didnt care about the money, I played for the love of the game and to try to beat out my opponents as I am very competitive ."

Which sytle do you think works best in $10 -$30 mtt's?

"The style I think works best in 10-30$mtts is to just play really solid poker because there are alot of horrendous players who are very willing to give away all of their chips."

First level of the $10 20k on stars, JJ on button , utg+2 raises 3bb, whats your play?

"The first level of pretty much any mtt in this situation I flat call with JJ because there is no point reraising to make the pot big when you can just see a flop, hope to spike a set and stack someone, if overs come you can muck easily without losing many chips, and if the board is low just keep the pot small and get value out of your overpair."

Best tip you could give a low limit mtt player.

"Best tip I could give an up and coming player is to beat the lower levels first and then advance as you beat the levels, start off freerolls, once you can beat them move up and etc 5$ 10$ 15$, be patient, dont move up stakes too quickly. Beat the easier mtts and move your way up as you continue to get better."

Thanks PURPLEPILS99
