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.
Practice Matters
When you decide to cash out
When you decide to cash out and spend some of your poker winnings, make sure you leave enough buy-ins left for the stakes you want to play. There's nothing worse than cashing out, not leaving yourself adequate buy-in cushions, and then going on a losing streak. If you're worried about the money, you're not going to make good decisions. So make sure when you cash out you have a plan for your poker bankroll. Don't leave yourself short.
Sometimes life issues may occur
Sometimes life issues may occur and you'll need to pull out larger sums of your bankroll than you'd ideally like to. When situations like this occur, have a plan. Either find someone to temporarily stake you, or play at smaller stakes until you can re-build your bankroll. Always have a plan.
