Message: [QUOTE="Egon Towst, post: 899809, member: 11768"] It is at least as much about position and relative stack size as it is about cards. Watch the other players closely and try to determine who is playing scared and can be bullied. Aim to win one pot for each round of blinds, if at all possible. This will ensure your stack is not depleted by the blinds/antes. Don`t call. Aim to be first into the pot and open with a raise. If the pot has already been opened, stay out of it unless you feel strong enough to raise. If the chipleader has you seriously out-chipped, don`t enter any pot against him without a very strong hand. In most tournaments, the really big money goes to the top three spots. There is little to be gained by folding your way into 5th or 6th place, so be prepared to take a calculated risk to chip up (and settle for 9th or 10th if you get unlucky). [/QUOTE]
