Tips for planning your online MTT week

Set goals: Decide whether you’re playing for experience, practice, or profit.
Bankroll management: Allocate a specific budget for tournaments and stick to it.
Time management: Plan your poker schedule to accommodate the tournament length, especially for major tourneys which can last several hours.
Understand MTT structures: Each tournament has its own structure (e.g., deep stack, turbo, rebuy). Familiarize yourself with these to optimize your play style.
Review past hands: Take time to analyze your gameplay between tournaments to improve skills for future sessions.
