Hi Guys,

I am playing a $110+10 NLHE live tourney tomorrow night organized by my friend's co-worker. Its been indicated to me that there will be few solid players there, but I will make my own assessment when I sit down.

Anyway, the structure is:

40 players, pays 6
$1,000 to start
Blinds:
1st hr: 10/20
2nd hr:25/50
then every 1/2 hr: 50/100, 100/200/25ante, 250/500/50, 500/1000/100, 1000/2000/200
next 1/2hr to end: 2000/4000/500


My initial sense is that I should be slightly more aggressive in the first two hours and look to build a cushion stack if I can so that as the blinds accelerate more rapidly after the 1st 2 hrs I can play tighter and catch people who are getting shortstacked forced to play weaker starting hands.

I usually play TAG, but I am not uncomfortable with playing LAG, particularly if I find that the competition is indeed soft.

For those of you who play more live tourneys I'd love your feedback.

where do you find tourneys like this? I wish I had something like that around where I live.

You live in NJ according to your info. PM me with your location in NJ and I will get you invited to tourneys like this. This particular tourney happens 10x a year and this is my first invite to it. My brother-in-law also runs a similar tourney 3x a year so I usually have something poppin.

Also, check out this forum. I have NOT participated in any of these underground poker room events yet, but its good to know that they are there if I want to get in on a live game any day. They probably have a site for NJ too. I just googled NYC poker room and thats how I found this.

Have you ever thought of using the search feature? (j/k it was just a ball bust opportunity)
