Message: [QUOTE="Aballinamion, post: 6662016, member: 289533"] Forget a lot of things about tournaments, for we are playing big stack strategy: we must go to the table having 100 blinds effective stack and set the option to auto top up chips. The basic is to avoid to play out of position and play more in position. Also, it’s good to have a range that fits your own style of playing. I would recommend to play tight, opening 15% range most of times and avoiding hard spots: For example, UTG opens 3x and CO 3-bets to 9x, let’s suppose both players are tight. We are sitting in the Big Blind with TT what is the best move? To fold, because we cannot call here and wait for UTG to decide, but hey, this is just a simple example. Avoid to call from the blinds with hands that seem to be good, such as suited cards or connectors, suited or not. I said that a lot of times here in the forum and I will say it again: the objective of cash games is to play in position versus weaker opponents. You will have to identify which players are better and worst than you and try to play versus those you have certainty that they are weak. One more thing: we must find ways to be stealing blinds and this will happen when we are sitting in CO, BU, SB and BB. But if we try to steal blinds too often, players will notice and 3-bet the hell out of us, so pick a good range to steal and choose tables where you will have tight/NIT players, with a high percentage of fold vs steal, setting by your left side of the table, and loose passive players sitting at your right side of the table. Summarizing: 1) Play in position versus weaker opponents 2) Avoid calling/limping into the pot 3) Try to steal the blinds when you see you have the chance for so doing 4) Play your hands more aggressively than passively, for aggression gives you initiative upon the hand and upon the pot. 5) Choose a table where you will have tight players in your left and loose passive at your right.
