What are the good tactics for early rounds in NL hold'em tournies? I've been told that when the blinds are tiny relative to stack size, the best thing to do is play your best ring type NL game.
Thing is, I have no 'normal' NL game. I feel pretty confident (more confident anyway) once the blinds get high and the money gets close. It's then (I figure) my natural aggression and my steal-sense work well for me. My problem tends to be getting to that point.
I have the Reuben & Ciaffone book in transit to me, as it's been recommended highly. Is that the right direction to go? I'm a little leary of playing much side NL games for awhile, but could anyone recommend any internet nl games that are good? Those pokerstars .10/.25 seem like a good way to give it a go without putting much on the line. Just not sure how valuble they'd be.
Any responses welcome. Wedding proposals considered, death threats returned, unused.
