When you are playing a serious poker tournament, be careful and try to avoid these things:
1. Never call the raise and reraise with less than K-K (Except if you know that your opponents are aggressive).
2. Never take risks in the beginning of MTT tournament.
3. Never play tight when you are a ship leader
4. Never bluff beginners or aggressive players
5. Never think that you won before the tournament finish.

Not a bad list to follow. Is item three for those carnival cruise multi ship games?

I agree with most except #2. If you are in a freeze out maybe I could see doing this, but if you are planning to fire multiple bullets the risk is justified and taking risks can propel you ahead to an early lead and this is essential in certain tournaments such as knockouts because if you cant knock anyone out, you are sacrificing half of the prize pool.

Nothing on Poker is a law, just addapt yourself against each player and maybe your JJ its good enough in a 5bet all in pot.

1. Wrong, sometimes you can get in with an extended value range

2. Wrong, of course you can try to autopilot and cooler somebody. but you will win less and its less fun.

3. Wrong, sometimes the payoutstructure, stackdepth, tabledynamics, require you to do so.

4. Wrong, only somebody being a beginner or an aggressive player says nothing about their continuing range or calling frequencies.

5. Right :))

all this is true ... it can and should even be taken as advice, but not as a rule. Since there are no rules in poker, there are situations in which you need to look for the right solution, using your advice as well .. this is my opinion. good luck

Never play drunk. Alcohol prevents thinking
