Default 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

I recommend buying Harrington on Hold'Em as soon as you can. It's improved my game a ton!

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.

not simply just going all in based on your hand, but going in or not based on your hand/position/limpers/stack size

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

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
