Tournament Strategies
After receiving pocket cards, you are immediately faced with a choice: play your cards and either raise or call the blinds, or fold.

The only proper way to practice is to be seated in the usual manner at a card table with a looking glass opposite and much time and labor are saved by this plan. The correct positions and movements can be accurately secured, and the performer becomes his own critic. The beginner invariably imagines his hands are too small or too large, but the size has little to do with the possibilities of skill.
Soft, moderately moist hands are best adapted for the purpose. When the cuticle is hard and dry, or excessively humid, the difficulties increase. A simple preparation to soften the hands and good general health usually produce the desired conditions.
