Nice video. Short, sweet and to the point. I heard a tip that was not related to winning a tournament, but it gives me a smile.

Bring an orange in your pocket. If you sit next to someone that smells like cigarette smoke or smells bad for some other reason, you can break into the peel and take a few sniffs every once in a while.

I know, not a serious tip; but I actually used it once.

A good set of tips for Tournament poker. I feel they covered the basics of tournament play very well. I will put some of their tips to use when I play next time.

Thanks. The tips are useful for me.

Tips #4 hit me the hardest way it can. I always had such difficulty when I have big stack. I always tend to be more passive when I had big stack on tournament, compared to when I have mid-size stack.

Other point that I'd like to include is be patient and stick to the range. This is another mistake that I'm trying to solve.

these tips I think would serve more in live poker. aggressiveness is necessary in all types of strategy games, I play more passively. but we have to analyze all hands like a calculator predicting the future of the hands to be aggressive or passive. bankroll management for me is the central point of control in the game.

Some important points: Always think about the value of the bet before it is made, to avoid commenting on how you play your hands, to be a good observer at the poker table, in addition to seeking to know the stacks of other players.

The smell of tangerine is my favorite. It makes me recall how much I enjoyed eating them as a child and brings back happy memories and uplifts my mood. It is available as an essential oil for cheap.

This is one of the best videos from cardschat about tournaments. It really is very valuable and helpfull. It contains very important tips for the tournament`s strategy!

I know you were somewhat joking but I really like the tip about the orange! Being a Florida girl I’m surprised I hadn’t heard that one before, but it’s a wonderful idea—though I may have to update it to an orange in my purse instead of my (often nonexistent) pocket!

As an added bonus, people would probably assume I was a very superstitious player lol, which I’m not

A very complete and very good video, it is a pleasure to receive tips from professional players.

Very sound advices. It's just so hard to find those softer fields. Maybe one should try to find at least smaller fields instead of playing against many thousands of people?

What a beautiful video and a lot of information and above all good material, they are very important tips and although we live moments of long poker plays every day, it does not seem like those little things that could lead us to glory, and good tips really help a lot both new players as well as old players since every day new poker material is welcome and it nourishes us with more information when making a move

Great video guys, thank you very much.

I especially like tip number two which is about having a plan for your hand. I think this is always important to have a picture in your head of how the hand will play out for your play and what you will do in situations that follow.

Love the CardsChat hoodies that you guys are rocking. You look so cutesy in matching hoodies!

Very good video!

5 fundamental tips that can help beginners to take a grasp about the basics of MTTs.

I would say the most important tips are #3 and #5.

Choosing to play soft-field tourneys (mainly for online poker) can really give someone the opportunity to make a good deep run out of the nowhere. I agree also with the push-fold tip for less than 15 blinds.

Thanks very much for the kind words and feedback everyone!

I had a great time making this video with Katie

Being aggressive is tough for me but I am practicing. Just seems when I get aggressive, some calling station comes over the top. Drives me crazy. I always try to have a plan for my hand, and it changes as I move to the flop, turn and river. I am not a big fan of the shove/fold when low stack. I like to see a flop and see if I can improve. Works out sometimes...others not so much. Have to play a bit looser as well when I am the large stack....sometimes I try that and damn dont I loose most of my chips.

This was actually the 2nd time I watched this video because it is one of the 'quests' in the Treasure Hunt Event but I am definitely glad I re-watched it. The 1st time I was just so focused on hearing #5 that I didn't pay as close attention to the other tips but this time I did and I am happy for that.

I really liked #2: Plan Your Hands In Advance. This is something I have been thinking about recently and it is nice to see that it is a good strategy. I try not to play hands that I am not willing to commit to.

I do somewhat follow #3: Shove or Fold with 15bb or Less. The only difference is my threshold is a little less and I don't ALWAYS follow that rule. I do consider how others play.

The one tip I would add is to never chase. While sometimes it seems like it can pay off, I'm sure you will lose more in the long run and that is never a good thing. However, I know I am very guilty of that but I am trying to make an effort to change this behavior.

Overall, this a great, quick little video and especially for new players.

Thanks very much! And if you like the matching CardsChat hoodies (omg so comfortable ) then you’d get a laugh out of what we wear at Disneyworld lol—I like to make us all family matching t-shirts; Collin has a tigger one that’s my favorite!

Great tips.
I would add 2 things that i think are so important too:
1. Be patient and do not play emotionally, specially against agro/crazy players that plays any 2 cards; and
2. Do not pay two much chips when you have draws (straight and flush draws), pay only when you have EV to do it.

Nice and fun video.
I'm only in doubt about the tip number 3. It's 15 really the best number to fold/shove action? I read already that 10 is the best option. It depends on the opponents stack, specially on final tables or not? Position to do it probably matters a lot. Or not?

The advice from the video is very good. I also wanted to add that many players, especially at low limits, often do not have enough eggs to turn big bluffs, which in turn makes them very exploitable and predictable in the eyes of thinking opponents who simply stop paying them. And thereby they lose tons of value. You should also understand that to get into the money in a tournament you need to earn at least a triple stack relative to the initial one (and most often even more). Therefore, instead of being careful and playing in a closed style, you need to show strong and aggressive poker at the beginning of the tournament in order to get a deep stack.

These are some great tips. Aggression is definitely key, as well as being unpredictable. Some players create a pattern for themselves which allows them to be bluffed more often than not. A good player can build up a decent chip stack in these spots. I also like the 15 bb shove strategy. I've kind of be confused in these spots, but picking the right spot and shoving can get your chip stack back up fairly quickly when making the right play. Thanks.

Nice and easy to digest video.

I would add in adjusting to the bubble and upping the aggression based on opponents stack sizes

Thanks, tips are helpful.
Maybe add something like this - when someone all-in in front of you several times and annoys you very much, please do not rush to call with a wide range of starting hands.

Thanks. The tips are useful for me. I want to be a professional

hello video is good but would be better if you would have the translation into Spanish. written thanks

Awesoem tips to win more at tournaments is second time I see this video and is always good to remind this tips cause when you start playing you forget them all hahahaha... the one that was more difficult for me to apply was be aggressive I guess it was fear to lose but nowadays I'm better on this hope never forget it on the tables Thanks guys!

Hi members,

A nice informative and succinct video here, with a healthy dose of humour.

I think it would be nice to see those tips in action at the table and invite fellow players to boom or have hand replayers to see those tips in action.

Here is one hand where I tried to play aggressively. Let me know what you guys think on this slippery board...

Tip 1 - Be Aggressive; https://www.boomplayer.com/32851003_0D99874CD1
Tip 2 - Plan hand in advance

I decided to bet 3 x BB and c-bet the flop with the same amount. Then took some time to decide how aggressive to be on the turn..

Drop me a line in the comments on boom and let me know what you think.

Application is important!

Nice Video Tammy!

My favorite is always play to win... unless you are a short stack on the bubble... then play to cash

Interesting, I hadn't thought of it, but I usually play aggressively when I'm losing and my chips are running out.
But as I am learning I need to improve my actions.
I believe that this lesson will help me achieve better results in poker.

Thank you very much for this useful information.
I often use aggressive play style, if not always.
Especially 15bb tip will work very well for me.

Excellent tips, I have put into practice some of his advice in my last games, I am no longer so aggressive and I have concentrated on strategies that I have seen in his videos, I make mistakes like any other player, I really like his charisma in the videos, Thank you

I like what is said in the video, however, would like to add a few things.
1. Be aggressive - totally agree, however players should be mindful of the fact that the average player, online or live, has little knowledge of ranges and odds and stuff, which is why one should not play aggressive at all costs.

2. Good advice overall. It's a shame there aren't a lot of threads about this topic as it is, imo, among the hardest skills one can acquire in poker.

3. Again, completely agree. Also, would like to point out, that once in that <15bb range, players should be mindful of their position as well, and not make their decision solely based on the stack size.

4. Agreed, still, in micros, players are not as familiar with ICM, therefore, we can't expect them to make folds ICM-wise. That being said - don't get overaggressive, be mindful of your hand and how strong it is.

5. Completely correct. When I first started playing live MTTs, I was a cash game only player, with no real knowledge of the game. However since the field was so poor, I managed to win the first two tournaments I have ever played.

Important tips. Being aggressive was one of my changes last. I was very passive and saw that playing aggressively is more EV.

Thanks, Katie and Collin. I always try to play aggressively. I hope the rest of the tips improves my game

These tips should be the ABC for all players starting to play tournaments. Totally recommended.

What would you add to the list?

Play in position/Think about your table position
Position is vital in poker tournaments because it represent a major knowledge advantage. When you act in late position, you get to see what your opponents do before you act. You can get away with playing weaker hands in late position thanks to that advantage.

Thanks. This is very instructive.

In modern poker, any rules and advice of experienced players do not work until 2016. All recommendations for betting in a certain place at the table according to various tables with betting rules with an certain combination of cards have lost their effect. Old books about poker don't work. Poker has become a bingo- game and this is especially noticeable on PokerStars. This is only my exclusive opinion.

Tangerines. I don’t know if they grow in America. But they are smaller and more convenient in your pocket. Also a fruit from the citrus family.

And yet, now you can quite legally wear protective masks. Great life hack for poker face. And no one will mind.

Really interesting video. Thanks!

So on the points))
1. Aggression - sometimes a lot
2. Distribution plan - unfortunately very rarely
3. Show or fold - unfortunately very rare
4. Play loose with a big stack, and play tight with a middle one - everything is exactly the opposite
5. Play in soft fields - easier said than done
Conclusion, work on yourself and your game and work again!

I always like to watch your videos! They are very positive and always change their mood! The tips are very good and I can’t add anything!

It is a good video thanks.
I learned a lot from it.

Simple stuff but very effective, and it's a solid base for becoming a winning player. Good video!

Hello, the All CardsChat Community! I'm, of course, heard and knew these (or similar) advices,
as I think and many others... But in Poker, as in Life, main is not know something, and main
correctly to use their in needing moments, because in Poker, by my opinion, can't to be universal advices:
every situation is unique, as well in Life! But this is only my private opinion. Good Luck Everyone!

The number one mistake I see tournament players make is see a player who has a chip lead or a very big stack and then just blows it off, bluffing, trying to win the tournament too early.

These are one of the best vídeos i have Ever seen. I really liked the #4 vídeo. Thanks for that.

I am guilty of that it is a weak point in my game I am trying to correct. Its just so easy to call and all in with KJ o when you have 5 to 10 times as many chips as the all in.

these videos are always very good. with great days and so I learn every time but and I end up decreasing my losses in tournaments, thank you very much for the teachings
