Hyper tournaments. What is the correct strategy?

tagece · Apr 15, 2016

I think I'm a terrible player in Hyper tournaments. In fact, I don't like then, but sometimes I win tickets, and play it.

The first impulse I have is just don't play it, but I think it's better try to improve my game.

What is the correct strategy for hyper MTTs and S&G?

they are mostly an icm test, practice your icm

If you think a terrible player these tournaments, maybe is best avoid. In this case, try search for another tournament that you can feel more comfortable and confident to play your game more healthily.

try to train in a kind of tournament

danndourado · Apr 22, 2016

Usually you will play very very short, and your open raise range must be very very wide. After 10 levels, the game resumes to be a blind steal style. You will face lot of short players with 2, 3 or 4 blinds and HAVE to be super agressive against them. 2 or 3 blinds its the difference to be dead or live in this kind of tournment. Its so hard and you shouldn't play this unless you're very confident.

In these tournaments do not need much, just press Allin, fold and call.

Exactly. Trying to see a flop cheaply doesn't work too well in the Hypers.

paulsmall007 · Apr 22, 2016

Right, half the time u can fold into he money people are so aggro in these, just play tight and wait for decent holdings. A lot of times when people are flipping in these it's with garbage, a lot of bluffer a play these.

These are actually great for mastering push/calling ranges. Be prepared to loose a lot. You have to take and win almost every flip. Learning this can really help in regular MTTs when the tournament reaches the stages where everyone is shorter stacked.

I hate these tournaments too. I tried different strategies, and it just depends on the seat. There is no chance to think in these games. All in whenever you think it's plausible.

It's not that simple. That's is what the most recreational players think. There also strategy for these types of games, but the most important is extract this informations and sharpen your game.

These days I was being lucky on S&G of PS. In 13 or 14 tournaments played, reaches 4 times the final table, finishing 2nd, 4th and 6th (two times). I think, one should expect good hands at the beginning and play them thoroughly, if you get an acceptable stack in the beginning, you should study the opponents and can take risk at lower stack if your hand is midrange.. Si la suerte acompaña, debes jugar más conservador y observando el lobby y los puestos, arriesgar manos buenas o hacer faroles cuando usted lo crea conveniente. Yo pienso que es lo mejor que puedes hacer.

There is not a lof of edge in these. Just push fold.

torres_iie4opa · Apr 25, 2016

if you play on PS, then you can push with junk

MoeJurphy · Apr 25, 2016

The field is a huge amount of non regs who will have no problem shoving very wide and a few regs who know the game well and are crushing. Expect huge variance so have a bankroll that can cover that regs will have a br of atleast 100x BI. These games are very short and can be very fun and also very fustrating, it's all about getting it in good and winning over a long period not individual games. goodluck

I feel in hyper tourneys if you are willing to call a blind then you should be willing to call an all-in because that is most likely what you will face. The hyper tourneys are as much luck as skill. Oh yea don't forget a quick prayer to the poker gods.

Maybe against fish players it's very easy to exploit the players weaknesses an any edge is huge in hyper turbos. Limping and 3bettin play a huge role in these and can be more profitable then simple push fold 'poker'. Keep your stack above 7bb and you have a decent shot

I monitor via pokerranking hundreds of players and found not one successful regular hyper-turbo tournaments. Maybe you know of? Tournaments 1 $ system is considered not as an indication of the strategy I tested and works in plus in such tournaments.

croconow · Apr 27, 2016

Yeah, I know this felling bro. Sometimes I win the seat for some hyper and I'm getting bad results too. As I can see you are Brazilian, so I recommend for you watch the Caio Pessagno youtube's channel. He is a awesome player and have one of the bests roi in PokerStars online games. He likes to play turbos and hyper, therefore he make videos teaching how to play in those scenarios.
Boa sorte nas mesas!

Zhendos · Apr 28, 2016

it is good to know Push Fold, well and to have corresponding bankroll =)) the distance will return everything

Hahahahaha, yeah dude. A little bit of luck is never ask to much, but if the job will be done playing Hyper, is good to take a look at the ICMizer, that is a software that can help studying the fold and all-in situation

Invariably, you have to be prepared to make questionable plays with marginal hands, because I see very little poker played in hypers. Invariably, the luckiest players advance. The critical part is not taking hyper turbo strategies to regular tournaments.

in hyper t game. juz think abt push or not to push～ hahaha
thats what i played in past 20 tourn and it works....
