Early stage play may seem a little rote and boring, but the fact of the matter is simple: if you don’t execute in the early stages, all of your late-game skills are absolutely useless. In this tournament strategy video, Tony ‘Bond18′ Dunst takes you through the core mechanics that he’s developed to excel in the early stages of MTT play, discussing several fundamental lines and tactics key to building stacks in the first few levels. The video runs just over 30 minutes.
