Titanpoker.com – Turning Battles into Skirmishes
11 March 2009
www.titanpoker.com – When examining my recent tournament play in detail, I felt I could accurately pinpoint problems with my past struggles in the earlier part of MTT’s and reasons for success in my most recent game.
There were one or two aspects of my game that I approched differently, and upon thinking carefully about what had unfolded during the game, I realised that I hadn’t been all in against a bigger stack until there were only 4 of us left. I had made one excellent call for most of my chips earlier on, but the point was, I was taking care not to risk all my chips or even half of my chips to any hand I wasn’t certain I was winning. I made only one sizeable bluff all night (only because I had a tell), and when I got involved in a hand I made sure I had good cards to play with.
It isn’t always easy to keep pots from escalating, as your opponent can push all in whenever they please, but what you can do is make sure that you are cautious enough to only call when you are sure of your hand.
The key point to remember is that no matter how strong a player you are, you should always try and leave yourself room for error where possible. As long as you have chips in front of you, there will always be another chance to double your stack, and there is no shame in waiting until a better chance presents itself.
I certainly know that the next time I play, I will adopt a careful approach to the earlier part of the tournament, and look to slowly build my stack rather than get dragged into big pots when I am not completely certain of the outcome. Titanpoker.nl
