Multi Table Tournament (MTT) 202

Master the Essential Study Tools for Tournament Success

You own the software. But are you using it to its full potential?

Most tournament players have Poker Tracker 4, ICMizer, or other study tools installed but only scratch the surface of what these programs can do.

This 2-hour course shows you how to harness the full power of four essential MTT study tools to optimize your study time and accelerate your improvement.

Taught by George Mathias

George takes you through the tournament-specific features of each tool, showing you exactly how to use them for maximum benefit. This isn't about installing software, it's about extracting real value from programs you may already own.

Prerequisite: MTT 101

This course builds on concepts from MTT 101, including ICM and tournament-specific terminology. If you haven't taken MTT 101, start there first to get the foundational knowledge needed for this intermediate course.

Bonus: Custom MTT Poker Tracker 4 HUD

The course includes a downloadable custom MTT HUD designed exclusively for MicroGrinder students, giving you a tournament-optimized heads-up display you can start using immediately.

What You'll Learn: Four Essential Tools

Poker Tracker 4 for Tournaments

• The HUD: Creating custom tournament HUDs, understanding default stats, categorizing opponents, and knowing required sample sizes
• Analyzing Results: Breaking down graphs, charts, and stats specific to tournament play
• Reviewing Hands: Using filters, tags, and hand replay features to study your tournament hands effectively

ICMizer 2

• The Basics: Understanding ICM, chip EV, Future Game Simulations, and range requirements
• Running Simulations: Importing and analyzing real hand histories to solve ICM spots

SnapShove

• Navigating solved ranges for shoving, calling, and re-shoving
• Understanding Nash equilibrium models and their applications
• Using SnapShove as a foundation for short stack strategy

PokerRanger

• Range Construction: Creating custom ranges for street-by-street analysis
• Equity Comparison: Using equity tables, equity evolutions, and board texture analysis

Why These Tools Matter

These programs provide solved, mathematically perfect strategies for many tournament situations. Once you know how to use them properly, you'll be significantly ahead of opponents who either don't use study tools or use them ineffectively.

The difference between owning software and actually using it to improve is enormous. This course bridges that gap.

Building Toward Advanced Strategy

MTT 202 prepares you for the more advanced MTT 303 and MTT 404 courses, which cover deep stack play, short stack strategy, and final table dynamics. The tools and techniques you learn here become essential for studying the concepts in those courses.
