Deep stack mtt's and short stack mtt's

[Spikelad]

I am looking for some advice on how to play these tournaments,what i find is that in a deep stack tournament,starting with say 5000 chips i generally do ok.However in a tournament with a starting stack of 2000 chips i just dont seem to be able to mount a challenge. The tournaments i am talking about have the same time structures regarding the blinds but there is no doubt playing with fewer chips means i am unable to get anywhere,what do you think is the correct strategy for playing the tourney with the smaller starting chip stack.

Re: Deep stack mtt's and short stack mtt's Wow this is a very open question. The deeper tourneys will allow you to pick your opportunities more wisely and timely but in the shorter format you need to look to create a stack early on that allows you to dominate the shorter stacks and give you room to move again. But don't be scared to take risks. Try downloading a poker strategy guide to online tournaments
