Instructions
Step 1
Play tight early in the tournament: only raise when you are confident in the strength of your hand. If you do not hit the blind and you have a weak hand, then fold it without hesitation - do not tempt fate. Only accept bets when you have a strong hand. Remember that your main task is to be among the winners. Each cut in your stack will push you further and further away from the top spots. The risk and excitement at the initial stage of the tournament is unacceptable. In the forefront of the tournament are those participants who play poker just for fun and rely only on their intuition and luck. Be careful and don't keep them company. And during the first rounds, ignore the stack sizes of other players - you will be amazed at how unpredictable and dramatic the situation will change in the future.
Step 2
In the middle stage of the tournament, there are noticeably fewer players, and the blinds are relentlessly creeping upward, reducing your stack with each bet and forcing you to act more actively. At this stage, the game needs to be taken into an even tighter framework, because the most offensive thing is to fly out of the tournament a couple of steps from the prize-winning place. On strong hands, play as aggressively as possible, while at the same time looking at the stacks of your opponents - if your opponent has a very large stack, then it is better not to fight him at all. Stick to your goal of reaching the final table by hook or by crook, even if you have to fold good hands.
Step 3
If you got to the final stage, then you have not lost, but in no case should you relax. If your stack is small compared to the stacks of your opponents, play carefully with them. The final table is a competition of secret poker techniques. At this stage, you can observe professional bluffing, aggressive play, shocking bets and other delights of poker. At the final table, you can win even with the smallest stack if you behave calmly, steal the blinds occasionally and wait for the big stacks to show off and push each other out of the game. If you have a large stack, then try to squeeze out as many opponents as possible, squeeze them under you, but be careful - if you go all-in to intimidate your opponent, you can lose everything. But if you are confident in the strength of your hand, then feel free to go all-in - at the final stage, no one is trifling with bets.
