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
If an abnormally tight player pushes
If an abnormally tight player pushes with something like 8-8+, A-J+ and K-Q, your calling range shrinks right up. You can still call with 2-2, 8-8 and A-J, but you should fold 7-6, J-10, A-4, K-10 and 7-4.
Few players have a set range of hands
Few players have a set range of hands that they push over raises in every situation. Most players will see you raising a fairly wide range and will compensate by pushing more hands. Some players will never get an inch out of line. Figure out each player so you can call appropriately. I suggest you spend a lot of time experimenting with an online poker equity calculator. It will be time well spent.
