Message: [QUOTE="Cowboy8112, post: 893100, member: 43801"] Starting a tournament in the blinds or on the button is everyones favorite place to start for obvious reasons. However, for me there is another reason. I am more likley to get priced into a hand even if position one raises. My rule of thumb is (and this can change depending on who is at my table) from BB SB or the Button, I will call up to 20% of my chips with ANY TWO CARDS. That is if I can get 5 to 1 or more on my money. Here is why. If I hit I can make take alot of chips and give the impression that I am a fish or very loose with my calls and that can make me even more money later. If I don't hit I can fold and still have 4/5ths of my chips. I do not recommend calling 20% of your chips with out a hand if you have more than 2 players behind you. [/QUOTE]
