Re: Tournament Adjustments
Good points.
What I posted were "general" rules to making it far in a tourney. I believe that you can at least make it to "pay" following my guidelines. However, they will not take you to the final table w/o doing the sort of plays you are talking about.
Until you reach the mid-to-late stage -- you really are not ready to make sophisticated plays. In the first 1/3rd of the time nearly 2/3rd of the field gets eliminated and you are left with a higher caliber of players against whom you can make sophisticated plays. For example your serious bet with an A-K won't be called by a dufus holding A-2 and he is lucky enough to bust your stack.
One more thing in a big online tourney is that there is so much table churn. You have little time to discern and make sophisticted plays against players you have no idea how they play. Later, however, as churn stabilizes a lot of sophisticated plays can be made.
