Tourney strategy
How do you go abouts winning a NL tourney? I'm gonna be playing a big tourney tomorrow with about 45 people are so....and basically winner takes all. Just sit tight during the early stages...then start making a few steals when the blinds go up? Should I be taking more risk than normal, knowing that it's winner takes all?
Any advice? Thanks. |

since its winner takes all... your going to have to make some moves you wouldnt other wise. I would say play tight but not so tight you end up blinding off and if you enter a pot, I would play my hand aggressively (more than normal) so you can win whatever pots you enter more times than not.

Good Luck
Good Luck. I don't really consider 45 people a big no-limit tournament, but if winner takes all u have to play aggressively. Don't be afraid to raise and reraise. With this tornament format u have to play like Gus Hansen. Hopefully you will pick up the cards and pots to win the tourney and once again goodluck.

Why do you have to play like Gus Hanson? Being loose aggressive is only one "tournament strategy." I would imagine in a home game where there are a lot of loose players, it would be better to tighten up, especially in the beginning rounds.

If it's a "homegame" type of tourney, you will get the chance to limp in to hands with 6-8 callers...
Suited connectors, Any suited Ace, and any pocketpair are your friends in this situation. As well as the usual "top hands",

I just played 2 free roll tourneys this past weekend. Saturday there were 151 players (I placed 35th) and Sunday there were 136 players (I placed 10th). How was I able to do very well in back to back tournaments? Easily, basic stagerdy in the begining of the tournament always helps out. Play tight and when you make your move, make it aggressively. When your chips stack up, then start making your move on pots. Aim for the short stacks. I rather have their chips then someone else.
But just keep it basic up front and change up in the later rounds. |

yeah thats a basic plan in every tourney... play tight, play your big hands aggressively, etc...
This is why Phil Hellmuth and other pros dont even show up during the early stages, they rather not get involved in a big pot early on. |
