Hey guys this is my first post but I wanted to ask you a question.

I play in these poker tourneys that are one hour long. You get 1000 chips. First 20 minutes is 25/50 the next is 50/100 then 100/200

My question is how would you guys go about playing in a timed tourney like this. It seems like when I play tight I usually end up losing because I'll get screwed on one of the hands haha.

any feedback appreciated thanks

The player with the most chips wins 2nd most is 2nd place.

and no it is played at a poker fundraiser event, i dont know any of the people i play with.

also, there are 11 people per tournament.

And that was why I asked the question, with such few hands its difficult to play like in a regular tournament.

marm,

thanks for the advice. I've been playing really tight so next time I play i'll def test out your advice

thanks

the problem i always run into is ill get a decent hand someone will raise 300 and then if i lose the hand ill only have 700 chips, then after i get blinded i have about 500. At this point i figure have barely enough chips and go all in when i get a good hand. AHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHH!!!!!!!!!

In this kind of game I would play and Suited cards with a Q or higher included in them. Probably raise 3x the blind with it. Also any suited connector and Hellmuths 16 starting hands =) pockets, AK, AQ, or any suited Ace. After that I would call any face card as long as it wasnt raised and any connectors above 78 not raised.

This is a medicorely loose style and you are basicly required to get a little bit lucky. But get the hell out if you miss the flop. After the flop you basilcy have to play pure pot odds because your not going to get a tell off anyone in a game like this. Betting patterns probably are shot too cause your only playing 1 hour.
