    Default General tournament tips, suggestions, and strategy

    I've been playing poker online for a few months now and am progressing in skill and experience at a pretty decent rate (IMO).

    I recently started playing some small buy-in tournaments with >300 ppl. I start off alright, but always get snagged up when the blinds get pretty large.

    My strategy must be flawed at that point because it seems that I just miss cashing each time....


    What are some general tips, suggestions, and strategies for playing tournament poker that you could give a noob like myself - early in the game and later on?

    Thanks! This site is great!

    I'd say join PokerSavvy+ and do the free trial for a week. Watch a bunch of tourney videos (in particular those by Christian Harder, Tony Dunst, and Justin Rollo). Or you could buy some books...like Rizen's Winning Poker Tournaments One Hand at a Time.

    If your library has that book, I'm moving to wherever you are. (But point taken.) So buy it, read it, sell it back on Amazon.... there, +ev. That you can do the PokerSavvy+ trial for free for a week (or $25 for a month...which also is a hell of a lot cheaper than sites that require a $150 sign-up fee, plus a monthly charge)...also, +ev.

    In other words, obga, I like my line.

    Well, if you're looking to steal (read it but not buy it) the information in the books, you might as well just download it via a torrent.

    Well, LordRahl, I hate to be the one to tell you this, but most libraries aren't illegal.

    For now. Just wait until publishing companies decide that they'd make more money without libraries.
