Just a little strategy and advice for you all.

The strategy for online poker tournaments is unlike other strategies of cash play. In tournaments one has to prevail in an elevated percentage of pots.

Some common errors in tournaments online include: Bluffing way too much early and betting into calling stations. The strategy used in tournaments for Texas Hold’em differs from that used in cash play. Although the play is identical in many ways, the texture differs because there is a beginning and an end defined in a tournament. In live play, one can choose to hang around until they pick up aces or the kings. In tourneys, you do not have this liberty because the blinds go up rapidly and the only way to remain in the tournament is to accumulate chips.
