Have Avantage In Texas Hold 'Em Tournament Play:

Time and time again, I've seen too many players misplay their cards in situations that c for it. And they pay for it; they lose their chip strength or in the worst case, get kicked out of the tournament. Chip management is the single most import skill must learn in poker. Bluffing pales in comparison to this import skill, and now, I'll teach you how to manage it well.

Early in the tournament, when the blinds low and with a good number of weak poker players around, it is import that you stay tight rather than jeopardizing your tournament dream. The es low, so there is no rush to be the chip leader. Relax and take it slow, only playing the best-looking hands. Don't be a rock though, because no will c your bets when you finy have a hand. In a nutshell, mix up your play but be conservat around 80% of the time.

In the middle of the tournament, where a third or half of the competition is g, and the tables becoming smer, with only f to seven people around, it's time to speed up your play. From here, you uld start putting up continuation bets and eat up sm pots. This is import because the blinds now chasing you and will substiy take a part of your stack if you become the big or sm blind. Your poker instincts become more import this time around, because you will have to read your oppnts plays if they retaining their conservat nature or beginning to w some courage.

Nothing is more import in the end-game than your feel for the table and your aggress technique. You uld learn how to play cards like 9-4 and take it to the top. Top players like Doyle Brunson have won the World Series of Poker with cards like 10-2. And in fact, he has d it with the same card twice.

Since this has confused many, I'll g you an example. If you dealt 10-4 and at the sm blind, just limp in and see if he/she cs. If your oppnt puts up a reasonable raise, just c it because you have a high card in 10 and it is unlikely that he/she has an AJ gn that there only two players. Also, there lesser combinations for the card deck to work with. If the flop ws 2-4-9, bet around half of the pot and it's likely that your oppnt will fold it. That's the nature of heads-up play. A low pair is equivalent to a high pair in a full table and in my example, getting nines is a premium holding card. Keep that basic rule in mind and you'll have an idea how to play in a rt table and more importly, heads-up.

From what you may have noticed, the style you uld follow early in the tournament is a conservat and as the game marches on, you uld adopt a more aggress approach. That's why uld be familiar to both styles as it will aid you in tournament play where millions at stake. Poker's reach has extended through farther regions of the globe and is gaining popularity in places like The Philippine Islands and in New Zealand. So to speak, a No Limit Hold 'Em game may be ongoing a few blocks away. If you keep these rules in mind and you may win a tourney in those local casinos day.
