kes1981 0 Posted January 11, 2007 Share Posted January 11, 2007 First tourny ever. It's at 7. I have no clue how to play tournys so I'm treating it like a cash game! Any advice? Link to post Share on other sites

simo_8ball 0 Posted January 11, 2007 Share Posted January 11, 2007 1. Play like a cash game, but slightly more risk averse.2. Expect a LOT of very bad players.3. Play shove or fold if you are down to less than about 12xbb.4. Read all three volumes of Harrington on Holdem within the next hour.5. See 4. Link to post Share on other sites
kes1981 0 Posted January 11, 2007 Author Share Posted January 11, 2007 Play tight earlyI run 23/18 in 6 max cash games. Is that to loose? Link to post Share on other sites
murok 0 Posted January 11, 2007 Share Posted January 11, 2007 that tournys blind structure is awful for the first hour and you only start with 1500 in chips so... first hour you need to double or triple up. So be aggresive when the time is right and sit back till that big hand comes.... Link to post Share on other sites
mario_kelly 0 Posted January 11, 2007 Share Posted January 11, 2007 They are changing structure to 2500 chips and 15 min levels starting tommorow night..Cant wait. Link to post Share on other sites

So be aggresive when the time is right and sit back till that big hand comes....if the structure is this bad, you're better off seeing TONS of cheap flops early and overbetting made hands. you will definitely need to chip up early if you want a chance to win.edit: do these things have overlays? i haven't deposited on mansion yet, but i'm considering it.
