| I have been pretty successful in online nl tournies but I have been having trouble at my B&M weekly NL tourney. basically I play real tight and wait , this type of stategy seems to work great online. At the B&M the blinds go up every ten minutes and it usually kills me unless I catch some great cards. MY question is should I loosen up a bit or just keep waiting until I get a wave of cards and take my lumps untill then. Any advice would be appreciated. A second thought is that out of the last 20 all in hands that I was a pretty decent sized favorite, its seems I am about 4 for 20 is that a normal win rate, I mean it is getting rediculous. thanks for your advice in advance | ||

| In my experience in tournaments where the blinds go up fast, it's bad news to get too far into the short stack. You need to steal a few and/or bluff a few when the situation is favorable | ||

| Online and B&M are two different monsters. However, in any tourney where the blinds increase rapidly, it is important to pick your battles wisely. The first round, try to play tight and get a read on some of the players, try to only be involved in small pots. While you may not double up in the first round, you will also not be eliminated. I would much rather have half my starting chips with three people remaining than none with 8 remaining. Remember your chips increase in value as more people are eliminated. When you are lucky enough to hold the nuts, or if you pickup a read on a player in a heads up situation, take advantage. Always remember that a tough laydown can be even more valuable than a great call. Especially in tournaments. | ||
