I was reading some books about strategy tournament, so I have founded something interesting about the rule of 5 and 10.
This rule is used when you are thinking about calling a raise with a speculative hand.
The key points about this rule:
1) If the raise is less than 5 % of your stack, it is an easy call.
2) If it is more than 10%, it is an easy fold.
3) If it is between 5% and 10%, it is a judgment call.
Be more apt to call if:
1) You have position on the raiser. Position is very important with suited connectors, but not as important with pocket pairs.
2) You have a medium pocket pair (7s or 8s), rather than a smaller one.
3) You have a no-gap suited connector such as 76s, rather than a 1- or 2- gapper such T8s or 96s.
4) Your opponent is type of player who rarely folds top pair or an over pair after the flop.
Dear friends if you have more tips on how to play in early stages, please continue with this post .
