my 2 cents here.....
here you are at a tourney you have bought in been seated and now are waiting to play or are in the early stages, be aggressive! not stupid but get your money in call lots of hands while the blinds are cheap. attack the dead money and extract from the fish get your stack up. once all the fish are eaten and the dead money buried, the blinds are going to be eating at you now that they are bigger. if you dont make a stack early you moy not be in a position to do anything but play your cards and they may not be the best... but hey life hands you lemons... you know the rest. tight play when you have the best of it is reccomended because if you lose a chunk of money on a loose call it will be aginst you on your next attempt. never give away free money, be prepared to back up your raises and have no fear if you dont have the stone nuts and a stone bluff cant buy it theres always next hand... so id sum up that theres three stages; 1 aggressive- building at the start 2 tight-keeping your stackin the middle 3 aggressive- end play  |
