final table strategy

[alfiyka]

playing at the final table you get more satisfaction.And if you're in the top three-you have to try to win.It is at this table that the most interesting part of the game begins.Only play that card a lot.Not all of it..I can only bet on a few aces or kings.And someone puts on any card.Is that a sign of fatigue ? Or what is the calculation?

My dear, I guess you should put such questions in poker general part of forum.

Of course, the FT part is the best part. But it definitely depends on what stack you have, when you enter the FT. This determines what cards you can play somehow. And of course also what other people have. If someone is very short, he has probably a wider range to push.

Being as I have only reached the final tbl so few times , I am not one to give advice on this . Sorry . anytime I have made it that far ... it is usually late , my bedtime , so I generally just try to go out .

 

[terradan]

whiskers77 said it perfectly. If you've showed up with a short stack you are shoving with a wider range. If you've arrived with a healthy stack, you're waiting for the lower stacks to bust out, then change gears to hopefully run over everyone.

Usually, it depends on the behavior of the opponents.
I only try to play with strong cards, but if I see that the opponents make mistakes, I am ready to use it in my favor.

Playing at final table isn't easy at all, especially after 4-5 hours since the tournament begun so players do mistakes sometimes playing wrong cards or doing wrong bets but these things are in your advantage; poker is also an endurance game so if you are a person with increased resistance ( especially menthal resistance) be sure you have a big advantage against the opponents.

Knowing that you are a nit player under you specially come with trash and exploit your range, creative players always sees it and do not be surprised that you often get the badbeats because of such dynamics.

Hello.
I play poker for 5 months.
And at the final table I was only 3 times. I try to play very carefully.
Sometimes my caution prevents me from getting the chips of my opponents.

When I'm at the final table, I'm trying to play the right hands in the right way!

 

[redmast]

If we are talking about a small number of players at the last table, then it is necessary to play and raise on the average map. You can not always choose a good card. Here and bluff is more often used than throughout the game.

All depends on your situated in my opinion. Your to the left of two big stacks for example it makes it hard to steal with medium hands etc. stack size is a major part and also your opponents styles. Loose, aggressive... there’s several circumstances that decide as to how I chose to play.

 

[ScottieDuncan]

Play with patience and good hands.

 

[natasha555]

At the final table, you need to play more carefully and patiently, because the highest payout is the 1-3 place.

 

[well_cap1302]

Your blinds define the way you should play at the final table, starting with the aggressive mode may help if you have a few blinds, with several you can at the beginning choose some hands to play.

Red Zone

By FT, you are often in the Red Zone*, so you are usually up to an "all-in or fold" situation.

That's from Dan Harrington's NLHE tournament book. Don't read it! You might be at the same table as me...

 

[AceKing725]

Yeah

Play with patience and good hands.

That's ALWAYS good advice.

In yours specific situation i recomend to play 9 players sit and go. There you have all the situations of a big tournament happening in a short time.

 

[kara260588]

I've only been at the final table a few times. Basically, my game depended on the stack.

from the stack, the number of cards that I'm ready to play

[jho]

Play smart, play your position, and play your opponents

 

[dragunovich]

can help you play a little looser ... high cards are more important here .. not playing tight is the best option .. although you should not do crazy things either.

 

[alfiyka]

Your strategy depends on many factors, the size of your stack, the type of players you are playing against.
If you are a big stack, you must press the players with fewer chips, and if you have little BB, you have to play aggressive to try to double his stack.

 

[Gamer1]

You need to play a lot of hands to win and be able to throw off when you need it then the result will not keep you waiting, but no matter how we would not like all the same not so often we are at the table in the finals, especially when the kilobol
