Greetings everyone, Question about playing small and mid stakes MTT’s. Is “Harrington on Holdem” volumes 1-3 still enough to do well at these levels, or do I need to learn GTO strategy that seems to be the gold standard of study these days?

Btw….the stakes I play at are $50 - $150 with roughly 60 - 100bb starting stacks. Players range from not so good to very good….but mostly very average.

For live MTTs, maybe. For online MTTs, hell no!

In his second book there is a chapter about slow playing before the flop where he says with smaller pairs and unpaired cards in a 3 or 4 handed table that you should always bet out- but does that mean bet only if no one has bet into you already?

He also mentions about that after a flop if action is to you and you have nothing of note that it is worth to bet out half the pot in the hope it takes the pot. But does he mean only if you are against one opponent in this situation
