Multi-Table Tournaments - FAQ

[Chief911]

Lets generate the Q and A's here, and then once we have everything, we can consolidate. I dont think its necessarily fair for one person to "come up with" the information. But collaboratively as a forum, we should be able to generate a pretty good FAQ.

I'll start listing some questions below, and will hold off from the answers til we have some great ones for each.

-What is FE (Folding Equity)? Why is it important?

-What books should I read for Multi-table Tournaments?

-What kind of bankroll should I have for MTT's to start out?

-What is the probability of <insert situation here>?

Question 1: Is it ever right to fold KK preflop?

Answer 1:God no, unless u ABSOLUTELY KNOW the villain has AA. Also, you can fold KK (and even AA) if ur in a satellite and can fold into the seat.


I see this question at least once or twice a week from a n00b poster. I think this has to be on the FAQ

What is FE?
Why is it important?

I think that we should give links to and descriptions of twodimes and pokerstove.
