How to play tournaments when youre always dealt garbage cards?
I try to play the same. I get 2 cards each hand. They're usually different. Not always.
I would, almost always, always prefer better ones.
Be patient. But not too patient. Pick spots, positions,opponents and tendencies.
Most of my biggest pots have been vs REALLY strong starting hands that opponents have played face up.
Do so carefully, as you'll usually lose a little there. But sometimes win a lot.
Position and odds vs price take a bit more practice than recognizing the top 5% of starting hands. The latter is much easier.
I struggle to, but know, the focus needs to be on the decision. For each hand independently. Try to use all the information available and make the best play you can. When you make a good decision and it doesn't go your way.... man it sucks, i'm working on that myself. lol. But the faster you can forget the result and keep focus on the decision the better.
Loses are harder to forget when you make the wrong decision. Wins are much more easily forgotten. Both - for obvious impulsive reasons- tend to distract from where the focus should be. The decisions.
And, don't get me wrong. I'd much prefer to make the wrong decision and win than the correct decision and lose- at least for the pot I'm playing RIGHT NOW...
It happens all the time in poker, in the short term. But to win long term, luck of the draw won't cut it.
and some else to reed when you play a game. I can teach you.
