I like the fast paced turbo tournaments. I still prefer normal. To win you have got to build your stack very quick. Everyone seems to think the same thing, and the play seems to be alot looser. I like to play solid early because I usually can pick up extra chips from all the loose players. Like many of you guys or gals have said, you must change your game sometime during the course of the game to be successful. I remember a tournament once that there was around 60 people entered and I decided to play super tight. I probably only played a half dozen hands besides the bb until it was down to the last 5. I was the low stack but not to the point where the blinds were hurting me but it was getting close. I changed gears and started to play very aggressive. It got down to 3 players and I still remained very aggressive when 1 of the players started chatting to me, telling me he could'nt beleive how I was dominating them. I don't talk at the tables at all so I did'nt reply. After I won the tournament the 2nd place finisher told me that was the best he had ever seen anyone play because I was so unpredictable. I did respond to say thank you very much. Problem is I cant seem to duplicate my play that day.  |
