Your strategy in a poker tournament should be very different from your typical cash game strategy. In this article we begin to look into the strategies employed in poker tournaments. Your poker tournament strategy largely comes down to the number of times round the table you can go putting in the ante if there is one, big blind, and small blind. The less number of times round the table you can go without losing all your remaining chips, the more you need to increase the range of cards you are willing to play. Likewise, the converse is true – the greater the size of your chip stack in proportion to the ante and blinds, the tighter you should be playing. to be continue.....

This means that early on in a tournament, you should not be taking too many big risks or playing too loosely, unless you’ve lost a lot of chips and end up very short stacked. Early on in a poker tournament a player will typically have more than 100x the big blind, and there’s no antes involved – so you can get away with only playing your strong hands, establish a relatively tight poker playing image and take down solid pots when your competitors chance it with a weak hand.

I disagree. For the most part, in a tournament or a cash game, your play should be identical. +EV is +EV.

Who the hell is Skalansky? I knew a George Skalansky once . . . big dude, worked construction. Doubt he wrote a poker book, though . . .

A math dude "David" Actually has done well for himself I believe back in the day.

A for paying attention to the math of what you have and when you enter the pot, its more than just counting chips and orbits. When you put your chips at risk ANYTIME, more pay attention to what you and the people in the pot have behind. If your going at it from a complete math perspective of blinds/antes and your chips, then your cards matter very little and more often than not you will eventually lose a race.

But even saying that AA is a definate ship if your in a lot of pots no matter whom your sitting with, you will get looked up probably by AKoff suit, I will take this race everytime my $300 to your $100 many times as you want!
