List of concepts you need to understand to beat the $11's for a moderate ROI:

10x BB rule: when you have 10x BB or less, push all-in
ICM

[/ QUOTE ]

I don't think the 10BB thing is in any sense a RULE. So with 100/200 blinds, and with 1900 chips, you're going to push all in any time you play a hand?

[/ QUOTE ]

YES!


[ QUOTE ]
This is certainly not necessary at 11$ games.

Maybee you can be profitable without pushing, but i think it will be much more profitable if you learn to push.( i don't have that much experience with the 10's, but a lot with the 20's.)

You also can be quite profitable not even knowing about ICM, and you definitely won't need it to soundly beat the 11 and 22 tournies.

[/ QUOTE ]

Yes, but you still need a decent understanding of what hands are worth calling on the buble.

I don't follow the 10x BB 'rule' and I have a 32% ROI over 650 11$ tournies on party poker. I think it is much more applicable at 50-200 buyin where you run the risk of being reraised with any 2 or outplayed postflop. People will fold their blinds to minraises at the 11s.
