In the early hours when I hit a good hand pushed hard and if my stack grow as more quiet game. And I following the movements of the table. It depends on many factors my game, like my stack

 

[Ianmacca99]

A lot depends on opponents sometimes early in tournaments players are shoving especially in rebuys. Try and play your game and when the good hands come against aggressive opponents hit them hard

 

[Datdude1]

I play different on each table and in each tournament. I think that it's too many variables that go into determining how you play on a table before you sit down so I play accordingly.

Always push preflop when you have good cards. If you have cards, never call, raise, raise, raise. Dont bluff and dont play shitty cards on entry levels.

 

[roger perkins]

i play whatever way the table lets me. something i found out playing single day live tournaments which usually have a 1 or 2 hour late registration is, i usually have within 20% more or less of my starting stack when late registration ends. So in a majority of small tourneys most of the time playing early really didnt make that big of a difference.

That depends on a lot of factors, but I usually open up and call a lot more early because of stack size.
It's easier to invest 1% of your stack early with suited connectors than 5% of it later.

I try to play tight always. But as the blinds increase, so does the range of hands.

 

[tauri103]

in the first of a tournament. I like to play wide but I avoid playing flips.

 

[gryphon3005]

I play a little tight at first but I don't generally keep playing that way for an hour. A lot depends on the type of tournament. In a turbo with 5 minute levels I will loosen up probably after 15-20 minutes of play. I may wait longer in a 10 minute level mtt.

 

[dorynel7]

I play tight-agressive in first hour of tournament.

 

[cranberry]

In the first hour of the tournament I play tight-aggressive and try to avoid difficult decisions. In the early stages of tournaments, I try to play only strong pocket cards.

 

[mengarda]

I prefer to play tight. Mainly because the chips have a lower value. I know players who don't even register at the beginning think it's a waste of time.

 

[MAGICUZ]

In the first hour of the tournament I don't play, I play have fun.It all depends on the buy-in for the tournament.

 

[RagNar87]

tight play and call in late position near button

 

[antonis32123]

Generally I play tight , not so tight as in the past , but still tight enough unfortunatelly in tournaments . I have to change this in the near future . The more blinds I have , the easier it is for me to see more hands and play more loose

 

[terryk]

Funny thing about tournys,,,,most are won in the last hour,not the first. :deal:

 

[dimon4ik89]

In all stages of the tournament. My favorite style is tight-aggressive. I play more aggressively against tight opponents, and I play more tight against loose and aggressive players. Of course, a lot depends on the size of my stack. The larger the size of my stack, the more I expand my range.

 

[akmost]

In general tight , but I may flat in position some speculative hands because they play good post flop and if the opponent is sticky you can stack him easily.
