1. I can't remember the exact details, but generally speaking... In a R&A tournament,i get TT in MP. I am in 15th place with about 60 players left (we just got into the money). Someone raises ~3/5 his stack from UG. Folds to me. I have him covered but would be very weak if i lose to his total stack and very strong if i beat him. How would you play from this point? The BB was at like 7k. His raise was to about 25k.
2. Are there any good poker books that discuss playing in tournaments where the blinds increase quickly (like normal internet games)? Something for a beginner.
3. I try to observe people i see often successful in tourneys, but can't say i've gained much from it. Do you use this strategy to learn? What do you look for? Do you study players that play in higher buy-ins? Do you try to study the same player or different players?
Thanks,
