Message: [QUOTE="teepack, post: 6747479, member: 113886"] My tips for live tournaments. Arrive well in advance. You want to be in your seat when cards go in the air. Late registrants miss a lot of the bad players who give away their chips early. Also, if it is your first time at a casino or playing in some kind of tour like the WSOP Circuit, you may have to register for a player's card first. Give yourself time to get all that taken care of and pay your buy-in. Bring some snacks, like granola bars, crackers. Tournaments usually provide complementary waters or soft drinks. You don't want to get hungry while you're at the table. Playing hangry is not good. Don't drink alcohol. I don't know why people drink impairing substances when playing a game that demands mental awareness. Give yourself the best chance to succeed. If you want to donk off some money while imbibing, then find a $1-$2 table and have at it. When you are not in a hand, pay attention. Notice if a player always opens when it folds to him. Notice if a BB always 3-bets or defends. If a hand goes to showdown, take note of what the other players have, especially if someone opened in an early position. You want to see what kind of hands they are playing. When you are in a hand, watch the players who are not in the hand. They will let their guard down and frequently react to the flop. For instance, I have seen lots of players either hang their head or lean back and look to the sky after a paired flop (say J-6-6). This almost always means they folded a 6. If you have a jack or a 6, this is very valuable info to have. [/QUOTE]
