Default Re: Speed Tourney (Fold\'em Hold\'em)

I like to play my regular game, being TAG until the blinds are 100/200. I think it is important to play as fast as possible while the blinds are low to build your stack. Play your premium hands and try to double/triple up at every opportunity.

So you play your regular game for about 12-15 minutes? With blinds going up every 3 minutes you aren't going to be able to wait around for premium hands. I played one of these tourneys and you may as well buy lottery tickets with your entry fee. I also don't recall a time where a 4-5xBB bet was even possible after the first 30 minutes unless you were the chip leader. In fact, late in the tourney the chip leader usually only has 2xBB. My advice is to avoid these tournaments.
