How to be able to advance in a tournament. You can't just sit back and wait for a good card to play. If so, the opponent only needs to fold when you raise because of the beautiful card, then you can only eat blind bets. It is also impossible for every hand to wait for a new position to play because sometimes there is a position and the card is full of rubbish. Is there a higher person who can guide me or give me an opinion so that I can learn more? Thank you very much. I also won several tournaments with a small buy of $5 or less. But the final score of the tour wasn't much. I can't remember all the hands and the process I went through that tournament at stages like the beginning. Close to the bubble. Close buy in. Then reached ITM, then reached the top, then reached the final and won the championship. I really don't remember it all to be able to repeat it more.

You don’t need to wait for premium cards, but you also don’t need to play every hand. Position, stack size, blind levels and the players at your table should guide your decisions. I’d suggest reviewing your tournament hands afterward, especially the big pots, so you can identify what worked at each stage and repeat it.

I don't believe there is a single formula for consistently advancing in tournaments. Poker is too dynamic for that. But you can try to understand the game better by analyzing not only your own hand, but also the hands being played around you and the overall environment at the table. Your position, stack sizes, opponents' tendencies, betting patterns, and the stage of the tournament can all influence the best decision. I think the key is to learn to read the situation rather than simply wait for good cards
