How to improve your MTT preflop strategy?

Tournament poker does not stand still: strategies are becoming more complex and formats are becoming more diverse. Until a few years ago, it was hard to imagine that Progressive Knockout would become so popular on tournament schedules. And it seemed unrealistic to hold one tournament for several days. One of the few things that is stable in MTT is that the blinds go up against the backdrop of a rapidly dwindling stack. To be a successful tournament player, your preflop ranges must be perfect. The best tool for this is PreflopHero MTT.
