Do you play the first hand of a tournament?

[Ketienne]

It depends on what I get I would say

 

[MK_]

I don't base my decision on what hand of the tournament it is... unless it's the last hand

 

[mariale_1990]

I have played the first hand, not always, but I have played it, but not because of superstition, I believe that many factors influence when deciding whether to play or not, I think that at first I let myself be guided more by my intuition and then already After a while playing and seeing how other people play I can play as I see fit

 

[Stanley Aguiar]

Only if I have AA or KK. Many like to go all-in at the beginning, it's not worth it.

 

[makisaa]

There is no serious reason not to play a hand because is the first hand of the game! There is a saying that says: "the good start is the half of everything".

 

[ScoobyNL]

I play the fist hand as i play the other hands in the tournament...

 

[Jogo4]

I play them all, but it's best to stay away for the first 20 minutes of the tournament

 

[infonazar]

I don't care what the hand is, whether it's the first or the 31st, it doesn't matter. The main thing for me is the format of the tournament, my pocket cards, my position and my opponents.

 

[darkvick]

Ask for your friend if he fold AA at the first hand

I agree with nerobs, there is no place for superstition at poker.

This is a game of people, not a game of cards.

 

[Comboss599]

I don't see difference between first and next once hands if hand is good enough for me.

 

[oleg8519]

only if the monster

 

[dompoker]

At the start of a tournament I play a lot of hands, because you have a lot of chips and you can play more.

 

[dongato2]

It depends on the hand I play, I don't think it's special whether to play it or not

 

[MishkaZL]

I have no superstitions about the first or any other hand. The only superstition I have is "not to play with junk"

 

[kaynbergo]

depending on what if it very good why not play it

 

[scobido]

Of course I will play a good hand, it is important for me how I start the tournament.

 

[plusia]

Τhe first hand is like any other hand and I see no reason not to participate in it
Superstitious am I not

 

[Surveyor]

I think that don't care first or middle hand i have, if u catch ace's or smth like that, it must to be pushing especially if the tournament is knockout

 

[kaynbergo]

I always like playing the first hand of a tournament.

You can't win every hand if you don't win the first one!

But I have a friend who is superstitious and mucks the first hand without looking at the cards.

He says that he can't bet enough to motivate folds from players during the very first hand. Everybody wants to play.

And sometimes he doesn't even play one hand until after the first break.

What do you think?

Does it bother you that there are so many limpers the first hand?

Do you adjust your game? How?

I don’t understand where you got the idea that the first hand should be played, I even adhere to the fact that half of those who like to go all-in every hand merge, and only then enter the game

 

[dzsire]

Since the blinds are still low and no one is raising, it is actually worthwhile to bet with any hand, who knows, maybe even with worse hands you can immediately see a good flop. In the early stages of the game this can be a good idea, even with the worst hands.

 

[Mauricio Perrotta]

I will play the first hand depending on the cards and the position that they touch me on the table

 

[Eduard0Felipe]

It depends solely and exclusively on the cards!

 

[kitchy65]

I don't see difference between first and next once hands if hand is good enough for me.

There is one difference...and it's a huge difference.

Can you get there on your own?

 

[kitchy65]

It depends solely and exclusively on the cards!

When you really force yourself to think about it...it isn't true, is it?

 

[Bnobob]

Playing the first hand on the micros is always complicated, many of the villains are looking to climb the bubble quickly, but if I come with a strong hand I play normally
