Big Blinds Slow Me Down

Roger1960 said:

I try to do the 3,4 times the BB rule of betting. That way you almost force yourself to keep up with the blinds.
As with all advice, different times, different strategies. When I first started playing that was a big problem for me, when blinds went up.. I was timid in my playing.
I do sometimes revert back to limping in, and pay for it. lol

The strategy I use in tournaments is as follows, at the beginning with the blinds still with small value I use final positions paying little with the intention of seeing many flops with the intention of hitting, no bluff at the beginning, with this strategy I am trying to accumulate chips at first. As the blinds increase in value, we can use other bluff stealing strategies, always using a final position and respecting your opponents' raises. Poker is very interesting, we must pay attention to several details, I can write a lot about this subject because the knowledge is really very deep.

Why don't you try to play your aggressive game further, not only at the beginning of the tournament. I would do so. If you manage to increase your stack at the beginning of the tournament, then why do you play as a weak player in the future?

Interesting tips! in MTT I also try to play middle and senior hands as aggressively as possible, accumulating stacks, but sometimes problems arise in the later stages of the tournament

When playing in MTT's I tend to be much more aggressive early in the tourneys when the blinds are smaller. Once the blinds hit 500 or larger I tend to hesitate much more and fold more often, which causes my chip stack to drop. When my stack drops to around 10 BB's I get desperate and usually go all in with any two decent cards and the big chip stacks tend to call me more often than not, due to my smaller stack size and most of the time I am out of the tournament at this point. Any suggestions on how to correct this? Thanks

I would say that hands such as AA, KK, QQ, AK, KQs, JTs, and some suited connectors can be considered strong and medium hands preflop

however, of course, you must understand that these hands are personally my opinion, and from game to game, there may be corrections, well, I have not so much experience ... the only thing, I’ll add, you should take into account your position, and the opponent’s, to assess, and this will help your experience, reading articles on this topic. I am just studying, I hope, someday I will be able to evaluate my answer from a professional point of view
