Some tournament tips (5)

Friday, October 16th, 2009

* If the tournament is still in its early blind levels, be sure to make BIG preflop raises with your premium starting hands, especially in deepstack tournaments. If you raise it three times the big blind in a regular tournament, make it four or even five times in a deepstack tournament.

* Suppose you’re in a limping pot and you flop two pair on a paired board, for example: you hold 68 and the flops comes TT6. If somebody bets into you, consider making the minimum raise here. This way you gain pot control and it looks very suspicious to your opponent.

* A last tip, especially for online poker: if you raised preflop and you are being minraised on the flop by some amateur, don’t expect it to be some kind of advanced move by this guy: he most likely just hit a monster.
