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
By laying down in "iffy" situations
By laying down in "iffy" situations you save your chips to use in better situations. If you feel that you are the better player, be patient. Time is on your side. Play as many hands as possible against weaker players. Take as much luck out of the game as possible.
By taking control of the hand, pre - flop
By taking control of the hand, pre - flop it gives you the advantage, post flop. Players will tend to give you credit for a hand and you can make a lot of money by playing aggressively pre-flop and making wise continuation bets.
