How do you play?

[SweatPea]

im not much of a tournament player, but i have won some decent $.. i just mainly play very tight, and try to survive.. i might make the occasional squeeze play with a weak Ace or low pp with a all in late in the game to steal blinds/antes.. other than this, thats about it.

 

[Alexandr Svinarshyk]

but with bad cards bad to play well, you need to sit and suffer until Arriving better. A bluff with a bad kicker to all

 

[doggycfg]

Limp and call to see the flop!!! maybe wait good hand

 

[Syltan]

Suffer and wait for the outcome of this downstream and continue to play in mathematics.

 

[Tulipaneiro]

I Wait for some good pair or cards like AK, AQ, KQ in colour

All tournament not to have good cards , not something usual , more often not the others to call the bets I make with the good cards . In the occasions I am card dead for a long time , I wait for the good cards a bit more , then start trying to steal more often and playing more aggressively , not wanting to get blind out , if I double , I keep waiting for some good cards to come and so on ...

 

[Svyat66556]

All cards that I don't like I discard if the whole tournament I don't have good cards, then I try to play in a narrow circle of no more than vs 2 players and watch that the flop if have the opportunity to make a bluff or not, sometimes the first raise and if the opponent is weak, they can fold,

 

[DianaPrinces]

In this case I see which player skips more on high stakes and bluffs against the same

How do you play if cards are very poor? and all tournaments you dont have good cards? what you do?

Study pre-flop hand charts, stick to cash until you get more comfortable with the charts

 

[Click400]

There are some very complicated tables, if the wait is not enough, you should try to get into cheaper games. The position of the button and the defense of the big blind are also important. And yes, have a very good reading of your rivals to know when to bet on a good bluff.

 

[jokr23]

It depends.

If it is very poor cards preflop and its late in the tournament would probably fold. Maybe more aggressive if it improves maybe all in if need be such as being short stacked. Less agressive with more chips maybe even folding if I have mid to high chip cards and it did not improve.

If its very poor cards preflop and its early on. May see the flop more often to see how the hands develop. Then make a decision to fold later or bet depending on what happens when the flop is seen or how other players are betting pre-flop. Too aggressive from others will probably make me want to fold pre-flop or if the flop did not improve my hand followed by a raise from another player.

 

[Xcoder]

Normally if I keep getting low cards I'll keep folding them. If it becomes a pattern and I'm starting to run out of big blinds I'll try to steal pots pre-flop in position. If that doesnt work and im down to about 7-10bb I'll shove allin preflop with any decent hand. In position if possible.

 

[CallmeFloppy]

I look for steal opportunities. Hopefully all my folds will at least make my raises earn some respect.

Don't get bored..play your game

 

[Mobcasinos]

I never experience playing at the tournament so can't tell what should I do. Having bad card you have no choice but to flop. I'm you won't get bad card all night long it just happen that some round your unlucky to have those cards.

Having a wide enough range should always be in your tool box of tricks. Playing suited aces and suited gap connectors, even up to 3 gap such as J7suited. Of course always raise and cbet any hand regardless of actual strength. Play it like it was AA but be ready to lay it down if needed. These hands are good for min raises but can still get you into trouble. Tread lightly.

Don't do this, you'll be insanely exploitable.
