  • Try to look at your cards last. Subtly watch as others check out their cards, very subtle facial things and ways people put their cards back on the table happen when people don't know they are being watched. When you stare at someone and they know they are being watched they are usually very concious of their actions. I think online play and excitement about your cards make a lot of people forget about the first 10 seconds of a hand before any bets are made. I have personally been trying to do this more, got caught a couple of times, but also made some people jittery that they were always under the microscope.

    Good luck!
  • I'm curious if you mean the final table or the final three? I've made the final table a few times, (only once at a live tourney) and have never had enough chips to bully. Of note, I've not yet won a tourney. You'll definitely want to read replies from the super senior members. Dick Hertz has some advice in his signature.

    Are there rebuys, an addon? For me, I feel it's necessary to use them. I played in a tourney at Port Perry that arguably I shouldn't have been in. I rebought because I suffered an early and brutal allin bad beat. Had I been outplayed, I would have kept the bulk of my pocket money.

    Now I feel my Great Blue Heron experience was an overall good one. I felt it raised my game slightly and provided many hands to reflect on.

    If it's a free tourney, absolutely enjoy.
