AspiringPro 0 Posted May 7, 2006 Share Posted May 7, 2006 I am 18 year old english student. I have a lot of experience in 1-2$NL cash games and limited experience in 2-4$ NL cash games. I also do well in low buyin mtts. I have 10 000£ bankroll exclusively from poker and I have been playing for about 2 years. I qualfied to play in a live 6 man st tournament on tv (semi final) in copenhagen from a 5$ rebuy qualifier win with 50 odd players. Winner got place in final 2nd got 500£. I played a tight solid game and opened up at end and was lucky enough to win.The final is in early June and is a 6 seater same as semi final. I have limited live experience also with only about 10-15 trips to casino under my belt. I have pretty good record live though despite small sample size. Prize structure is as follows1st - 25000£ plus 2 ept seats and expenses2nd-10 000£3rd- 6000£4th -3500£5th- 1500£6th- 1000£ Tournament structure can be best explained by terms deepstacked turbo. This allows for quite a lot of play and my semi final took 6 hours to complete.50k starting chips blinds 100-200 but go up quickly etc.Now my question. What is the best strategy to employ for me because each step up guarantees a big proportion increase to my bankroll. So I could play tight but this is what a lot of other players may feel and try to do. Is it best for me to play aggressive and go for first prize since with my bankroll when will I get another chance at 25k. Also what would you suggest as preparation for tournament in June. Unfortunately can't see other semi final heat winners as it is aired in denmark. I am reading HOH books as preparation and playing a bit down the casino. I am also playing a 300+20$ mtt tomorrow which is biggest I have entered so should be good practice. I suppose I have nothing to fear as very good players would not have entered a 5$ rebuy tourney despite the amazing value. Ok this is long but hope for good responses as always.

lordofelt 0 Posted May 7, 2006 Share Posted May 7, 2006 First of congrats on the big win and chance to win even more. Clearly the ballsy response is "Play to win" cause thats what all top players do but with the prize being sooo huge compared to your bankroll I'd probably be playing tight and wouldn't blame you if you played tight. That being said probably unlikely you'll get another shot at 2 ept seats so going for broke probably not a bad idea. Link to post Share on other sites
reedmcneal 0 Posted May 7, 2006 Share Posted May 7, 2006 I'd go balls to the wall. Your opponents will probably be very tight early, and the payout structure heavily favors just going for the win. Link to post Share on other sites
AspiringPro 0 Posted May 7, 2006 Author Share Posted May 7, 2006 yes this is good idea. However, I am naturally TAG player if i pick up no cards early on and every1 is very aggressive what should i do. I could use my image to bluff I suppose. I am also happy seeing many flops early on with suited connectors and marginal hands when blinds are low as I feel I may have edge on post flop play. Link to post Share on other sites
No_Neck 0 Posted May 7, 2006 Share Posted May 7, 2006 I'd go balls to the wall. Your opponents will probably be very tight early, and the payout structure heavily favors just going for the win.I would post this in tourney forum for better answers. What I would do would be find the weakest player, and get in pots with him. Also avoid anyone that has you covered.If the weak player has all the chips than you are going to have to gamble.
