9 players left or 10 good players getting lucky and got skills..
It's hard to make a play when the blinds are so big especially less than 10BB.
If you push and try to steal someone got a good hand or getting lucky with a flip.

If you are talking about Omaha, (i saw your game in profile) it don't need to be skilled players left, because Omaha is more game of luckiness.

Yes 10BB is small, usually system will kick you immediately if you go all in in 1st, 4-5 or more hands.

Trust me, you can't win even with better hands. This is how it goes, PS wants to finish trounaments as fast as they can ( = more money for them ) so.. play tight and fold every hand ( and omaha and holdem ), after button pass you 2nd time, than you should shove and more likely to win that hand and double up. with that double system will respect you more, so can that play better. of course after winning hand, raise again big, win another easy.

main advise: don't call anything or go all in, in first two circles, you will be kicked out for sure.

To win at the final table is not difficult if the feature area is not top 3-4

Yeah I agree, I used to play alot of 9man turbo sngs and theres alot of min raise or push/fold spots. I find final tables play the same way, and at some point you need to win a flip, especially during heads up. Knowing how to play heads up plays a big role as well.

Yes, it is very difficult to win at the final table when you have a very small stack at the table and players under you raise the bet and raise and reraise, you need to try very hard or come to you always with a good card like AA - AK -KK -QQ- JJ , and when you have the biggest stack or the middle stack at the table it's not difficult to win and you can play on almost all normal cards and win and get 1 or 2 places!

I think it's not that hard to win on the final table, if you've already come up, then just continue with a good game, wait for your hand, double up your chips and slowly continue to top 4 top 3... :)

It is much more difficult to reach the final table!

And about winning, patience, endurance, knowledge and a bit of luck.
That's all)

It's like in the movie "Maverick": 20 players and 19 broken hearts. Awesome movie.

I don't know. Unfortunatelly I have never been at final table. On the other hand I go to play poker in a club where I win some tourney's in my life. In live poker is easier to win than online because I know the players who sit at the table with me.

If you are short stacked at FT ofc its hard you need to get lucky and win those flips to get back in the game,if you come to FT as chip leader it can be easier if you know when is right moment to put presure etc but even that doesnt guraante you win ...

You see at the final table that lower stack players shove at a certain time and then hope for the best. But as @Infonazar says, patience is always the key! :)

To win at the final table is not difficult. You just need to overcome nervousness and you have to remember the actions of all players reaching the final table for the duration of the tournament.

Tournament poker involves a lot of winning flips and stealing blind. Final table by nature should be tough. The larger the field the tougher the table.:stoned:

It is difficult to reach the final table of a tournament, if you succeed, enjoy it, of course you always play to win, but getting there is an achievement, do not forget that you are among the best players of that turner

Its Very Hard to Win, but you need to Go for the Win, acumulating Chips and survive in the most important areas of the tournament.

i think the final table is much easier than getting to the final table.
For me your already in a decent prize spot , and almost finished with the tourney. so it's time to relax a little and pull out your best game.

I absolutely agree with you.

I absolutely agree with you. Let's start with the fact that it's very difficult to get to the final table, and to win the first place with a 10BB stack is very difficult. But there are different cases, the main thing is to be very lucky and to feel the opponents well. Just need to play a lot and sooner or later you will win the tournament and not even one. And if you're talking about Omaha, then in this game it's even more difficult for me to get results, because it's a more unpredictable game compared to Hold'em. In Omaha, every card on the flop, completely changing the situation at the table, this is the difficulty of Omaha

no its not hard for me. much harder the game before FT. early and buble is difficult phase in tournament. wrong move you out. FT is much relaxing for player with normal stack size ($ already in your pocket).and more excited for player with short stack becouse sometime theyr end up being the winner after jam and jam. FT is Fun becouse there is the best place to get busto atleast.

You say its hard to pay with 10bb stack which is true. This is why you want to be accumulating chips on your way to the final table not just scraping into it and being short when you get there.

Don't be worried about busting in 10-18 place for fear of "not making final table". This is your time to build your stack so you can really play at Final Table.


Playing single table SNGs will help your final table game as well.


You aren't going to win MTTs very often though.

I don't worry about it, I usually do well when I get to the final table of any game. I have no fear but I have played for 13 years so I'm used to it and I have alot of experience.
