The Basics of One-Table Tournaments
I've been a lurker since about the start of summer around Two Plus Two, and have, at least what I think, is a general strategy summary regarding different stages of a tournament. I'd appreciate any feedback/comments/flaming/corrections in my post.
Early/middle stages: Call, in late position, with mid- and high-suited connectors, and small pocket pairs for set value (89s, 66). Avoid ugly Broadway cards with middle/bad kickers (A8, K10). Always raise with premium hands (99+, AQs+). Don't bet draws against more than one opponent. Bubble play: Mix it up. Push any small edges. Don't wait for big hands, as you'll have less folding equity. Use first in vigor, espcially in late position. Loosen up starting requirements. I feel like I've got a good picture, but am still missing some stuff. Any help would be appreciated. |

[/ QUOTE ] Bubble play is a lot more complicated than just pushing small edges. At times it is inccorect for you to call even being a 2-1 favorite to win the hand. A piece of advice: when the blinds get high HU, push a lot. Edit: probably a much better piece of of advice is to not call all-ins with Aces. When I started out in Stts I really overvalued them. |

Not call all-ins with aces? I assume you mean after the flop and you hit a pair of aces, not preflop pocket aces, corect?

I meant a hand like a6o.

Lol, I'm glad he made that distinction. "Aces" are really different from "Ace-Rag".

Youre probably missing experience. Just my guess.
