Out of my comfort zone
I am off to Vienna in one week to play at a no limit European poker tourneyment. The good news is it looks to be a lot of fun. The bad news is I don't play tourneyments and I dont play no limit.
So I dont know how to best prepare for this thing. Should I just play sklankys system, play the way I do in a limit ring game, or study up quick? Let me know you opinion. thanks in advance |

Re: Out of my comfort zone
I recommend buying Harrington on Hold'Em as soon as you can. It's improved my game a ton!

Re: Out of my comfort zone
i think it would be interesting to try sklansky's system (the improved version). i voted for that. i will try it myself in some small tournament.
however, it's not a bad idea to study some literature on NL tourney play, talk to people who are good at that etc, whether you decide to go for the system or not. |

I have to plead ignorant here. What is the improved version?

Pick up Harrington and read it on the plane twice. Oh yeah, play tight.

Re: Out of my comfort zone
Warren,
You are among the most disciplined people I know. You plan everything carefully and make your decisions on solid data. It seems totally out of character for you to make such an extreme change. I hope it is not a BIG no limit tournament. Good luck, Al |

Re: Out of my comfort zone
Thanks you Al, I appreciate that. It is a big no limit tourneyment. What happened was this. I was playing in a $100 buy in limit tourneyment which I felt quite comfortable in. I won first prize $2500. Immediatly following was this satalite tourneyment with 600 people in it for a buy in of $11 and the top 6 players going to play in Vienna ($4000). I miss read this to be a limit tourneyment so I played.
Unfortuanatly it turned out to be a NL tourneyment. I came in first place. Now comes the tricky bit. I dont play no limit. On the brighter side the worst case scenario is a payed vacation in Austia. The money in this case (very unusual for me) is not the issue. There are going to be TV crews and live European publicity and such things. I just dont want to look too foolish. |
