Ok, so I'm finally starting to understand the strategy once you get into the money (especially heads up /images/graemlins/grin.gif). However, one tough part is when there is only 4 (and sometimes 5) players left in the tourney. I am so confused because I have read some advice that says you should tighten way up, especially when other people go all-in and you are forced to either call or fold. In fact, I have heard some advice that says to ONLY call if you have QQ, KK, AA, or AK. I have read other advice that says to loosen way up and try to steal almost every blind and call all-ins more liberally then the previous advice. Can someone help me make some sense out of this?
You know what would be great, if someone came up with a chart/table that says "if you x amount of chips then push with these hands and call all-ins with these hand" and "if you have y amount of chips you call with these hands" and "if your opponents have z amount of chips you should push or call with these hands" etc... Does anybody have anything like this about 4 handed play? I realize that each situation is different because of opponents tendencies, others chip stacks, etc... but it would be nice if we could come up with a "general strategy" which we can then make some slight/minor adjustments based on the situations that arise. Just let me know if anyone has anything along these lines or just an idea and then maybe all of us here on the forum can "tinker" with it a bit.
