Poker Tournament Strategy - Getting Blinded Out
Here's an interesting email conversation...on getting blinded out. - Rick
Hi Rick,
I thought I would ask you a question that I sent to both Roy Rounder and Johnny. I bought both of their systems and both are very similar. They both have helped me allot in online games. However when I use the same strategy tight/aggressive and play the only the hands they suggest the blinds eat me up.
In the online games the blinds start at 10/20 and go up much slower then in a casino. In the casino they start at 25/50 and go up every ten minutes. Do you have any suggestions you can give me so that what works online will also work in casinos?
Regards
Joe M.
P.S. Are there any books or strategies that focus on playing in casinos rather than online?
Yes, you must bluff and steal more often Joe. It's tough to do, but something that's what
everyone who wins consistently learns to do. The reality is, on average we each
only pick up one really good starting hand about every 2 to 3 rounds, which is
exactly why the blinds eat the tight players right up!
other elements of a winning poker repertoire.
Picking the players to target (the tighter players) and the positions to bluff/steal
(the later positions) and the times to bluff/steal (when you "detect" weakness)
are the keys in my experience.
Great question! I hope that's helpful.
Rick
