Re: Chapter 4 and Levels 1-3
[ QUOTE ]
When I played the 800 chip tourneys I was uber tight early. In the 1000's i'm a bit looser early on. Well if I am interpreting chapter 4 properly, sklansky is saying that this is not wise. In fact that I should be playing TIGHTER early on in the 1000 chip tourneys than in the 800 chip tourneys.

Two things:
1) With escalating blinds, you still don't have much time to wait. The structure will quickly become one where you must be getting loose, and you'll be at a relative disadvantage compared to others potentially if you're too tight early on.
2) I also think this applies somewhat more to limit than no-limit, since implied odds become much more important, which is the real reason to loosen up a bit in 1000 chip games.
