Tournament Theory - Loose or Tight


wizard

Recommended Posts

The up and coming young guns of poker like Ivey and Negreanu claim that you should play loosely in the early stages of tournaments because their is a lot of "dead" money to be won, whereas the more experienced pros like Brunson and Cloutier feel the opposite is true - that you should play extremely tight. Where do you stand in this arguement? I personally feel that online you should play very tight as although there is a lot of chips to be won from nutters, it is very like that they will get lucky and you will be busted out.

Re: Tournament Theory - Loose or Tight Just my thoughts... I tend to play tight during the early rounds unless you get a big pair or hit your flop on the blinds. I don't really start trying to play until the blinds have hit 150/75 as stealing these once twice every couple of rounds can see you through until you get some good cards and if you've been playing tight your fellow players should respect your raises. The middle to end of a tourny is again a different kettle of fish.
