Re: beating a low stakes tourney
There's one move that I've found works VERY well - even in freerolls. Most bad players aren't thinking about what your hand is...they're thinking about what their hand is. So if there's a flop that's unlikely to have hit anyone a decent sized bet (say 2/3 of the pot) on the flop will often win it. Ideal situation is something like 1 or 2 other people in the pot. Everybody limped, or players you know are very loose raised preflop. The flop has no aces and only one card T or higher (or ideally no high cards). Your opponents will typically fold to a bet often enough to be very +EV. It doesn't matter if its implausible that the flop hit your hand...bad players just aren't thinking about that.
