Dear Alchemists, I hope you are all well. My last few weeks have gone okay so far in poker. Slowly I have the feeling that more and more pieces of the puzzle are falling into place and I generally understand mtts better. On the one hand, there's the theory, where I'm mainly dealing with single raised pots in position these weeks. On the other hand there is the amount of mtts you manage to play to see a whole variance cycle. The latter is faster with sngs due to the small number of players, as it is of course less likely to have long loosing streaks. With mtts, however, this becomes much much longer.
