Tournament Strategies
After receiving pocket cards, you are immediately faced with a choice: play your cards and either raise or call the blinds, or fold.
Practice Matters
Make sure to re-raise with these hands
Make sure to re-raise with these hands when you have position on a weak opponent who folds too often. Keep these concepts in mind and you will find yourself winning tournaments 10BBs at a time.
When You have Between 60 and 40BBs
When You have Between 60 and 40BBs With between 60 and 40 big blinds, take care not to get your stack all-in with a weak holding. Do not fall prey to fancy play syndrome, as one wrong move will often cost your tournament life. In general, tighten up just a bit more when calling before the flop but still be very willing to attack the blinds and pre-flop raises of weak players. If you keep your cool, you will find a way to survive.
