Hey guys! This is good moment to talk about how we play with small stack in the tournament (doesn't meter freeroll or buy-in).
First moment: we want to double up, so sit and wait for the strong hand.
First mistake: even 66+ seems to us like a strong. With small pair we often call big raises from big stack guys and what we get? BAD BIT in the result. (big stacks can close straight with only 1 card, or get 2 better pairs then yours, and so on ...)
Firs advice:
- Ace heigh pocket hand better then little pair
- Wait for TT+ hand
- DON'T call raise, better be raiser! Wait when all before you folded, and make all-in
- Don't play any call. Be ready make all-in with you hand
Second moment: tilt after losing.
Second mistake: be sure, that you complied conditions of the first moment (read higher).
Second advice:
- Don't play all-in even with AK against chip-leader of the table. Trust me, he win with his 72o
- Don't puzzle if you lose with JJ+ hand (verify that all-players before you folded and you was raiser)
Third moment: before becoming small stack, try to avoid any trouble. Feel confident and don't male anything stupid moves. (I mean middle stage of tournament, when you was big stack and became small stack).
Third mistake: often you win strong can even huge stake in the middle stage. And with only one mistake you can lose half part of chips.
Third advice:
- If you lose half part of chips try to keep your mind cool. You have still fairly stack to play tight.
- If you lose half part of chips, try to change your game strategy for this moment. If you play more loose, play tight and vice verse.
So, I wait posts from you to know, how my article was important or not for you. Give me an answer about mistakes maybe I allowed.
