I thought that I would discuss it a bit and get your advice.

My advice is to not spend any more time developing the optimal play money tourney strategy.

Since it is positive EV I want to have all of my money in the pot so that I maximize the amount I earn.

Once again, this is play money, right?


In one interview Phil H. bragged about not having to go all-in until the final tables.

I'm not a tourney player, so I don't know if his point was he didn't want to go all-in or just that he is so good that he has everyone covered most of the way. In any case, though, I'm pretty sure he wasn't talking about play money tourney strategy.

Opponents are so freaked out about going all-in preflop that they fold great hands.

Does anyone really get all that "freaked out" about anything in play money tourneys?


Thanks for an entertaining read.
