| I´m going to join a home tourney on Saturday. It´s a $30 buyin no limit holdem game and 15-20 people will join. I know two of the players and their very good, tight and aggressive, one of them is a very good tournament player, plays the players and reads them very good. What I´ve heard about the other players is that they love the game but can´t play it. They usually play a very passive pot limit game. Don´t know if they´re tight or loose. As you see I don´t have very much information. I´m a limit player, but like to play pot limit and no limit. I´m very tight, and quite aggressive. I don´t know anything about how many gets paid but I think about 3 or 4. My goal is to come in the money. Do you guys have any general tips? | ||

| Don't challenge the players that you know to be good early and punish the one's that are passive so you can build your stack. If as you say a lot of the players are passive, then tight aggressive play (with some luck of course) should be enough to get you to the money. I would play tighter early and see how the table is flowing and then as you get a better handle on the landscape, start making more moves with your good hands (and marginal one's in steal position against the passive's). The one thing that I have learned in no-limit is that you don't want to "call off" all of your chips (unless you are trapping); you want to make the other player have to make that decision, so be aggressive when you have the goods. Good luck and let us know how you do. | ||
