How to Win a Multi Table Tournament

someone out like that, the rest of the players will get that much more respect for you, and that can never hurt.

Remember to not do anything stupid. If you make a mistake, hope it is a small one.

Phase 4: – Loosish/Very Aggressive Play.

At this point of the game, the stacks will all pretty much be very big, and the blinds will also be pretty high. With only 5 or 6 players at the final table, you can loosen up quite a bit. You can call most blinds with picture cards or A and 8+. Be careful of big bets and re-raises. Keep generally tight, but get very very aggressive. All of the players in this phase are in the money, and mostly will be happy to finish here, but you won’t.

You want to win! Remember that!

You want to take everyone’s chips and you want to be aggressive in doing it. Most of the others will be hoping to stay in just a little longer to watch another player or two drop out here, so they can be guarranteed of one more place. You can take advantage of this by stealing some blinds, and by beating them when you have good cards. Note, I said good cards, not thenuts. Most of your opponents will be happy to place in the money, and will call most smallish bets with ordinary hands. This is not a hardened rule, so be selective with your bets. If you are raised on a small bet you could be beaten. You may want to think about a fold in this case. Watch out for check-raises here as well. You don’t want to lose too many chips to being too aggressive.

Remember that this is only a guide and you will have to adapt any strategy that you employ to help you win, to the conditions at the table you are seated at.

Now go out there and win!
