Tournaments with 1000 or More Entries

Hello i have entered a tournament on poker stars there are already 1000 people registered. How can I play to stay in last time I played in one of these the blinds knocked me out because people were to forward and kept going all in all the time the only 2 best cards I had were A6 and A4 and got called all in. How can play this next game thanks.

I think you are doing it right, but just don't be afraid to call an all in with AX or a hand better than this against a guy that is going all in with almost any hand. He will probably have something like 84 in the showdown and you will be happy to have called it. But before calling him, have sure he has gone all in in some last rounds with weak hands and he is probably doing it again.

if 3 or more people goes all in, you can call with small cards.
it is not a poker, it is lottery

dont just go all in, it sounds like a turbo with 6 min blinds, if this is the case i tend to shove all in with more range at 20bb, that way you either double or your out, and when you get that really strong hand you can extract the most value,

things to avoid : shoving into people that will call you down super light
- shoving into people that have a stack that could cripple you too often
- if your going to be all in better to have or gain double up, then somebody on a lower stack which you get minimal gain

Try to steal blinds when you're D/UTG going all-in but everything depends on luck unfortunately :/

Try to play with a narrower range,play good hands aggressively!Don't do stupid heroic call)Style blinds,well, try not to be nervous failures))anyway -good luck at the tables!

Stick to the patient route you will find spots to call these crazy shove's and sometimes they are going to win with their garbage.

Sounds like you need to understanding making positional plays/bluff and understanding M.

you will show it is right or not? This is your bankroll!

In that case, you and your bluff and play all in and if you're lucky you and move a little game!

Just prove your game and fix your faults.there is nothing to discussmjust play and think over your bugs!!!glhf)

Get a bankroll and stop playing free rolls

patience, be aggresive at beginning only whit premium and when your stack is behind 15BB you can open your range a bit and push all-in.
try to pay whit small chips if you can by position having decent hands to see flop. normally in this level if you get a good hand at flop is easier to get value.

Just make sure you gave enough time , as these tournaments takes long time to play
