Any advice for playing in big tourney such as 10k , 20 k , 30k gurantee ?

[^Newbie^]

Didn't really want to play in big tourneys but i have no choice , entered the wrong tourney in bodog and got tournament credits instead of cash (finished 1st for $55 tourney credits :wall:wall:wall:wall) Would have preferred cash though . Plan to use this for a 5k gurantee ($10+1) and a 30k Gurantee ($40+4) . Any good advice ?

Re: Any advice for playing in big tourney such as 10k , 20 k , 30k gurantee ? Only thing i can tell you is don't bluff - at least not until after the first break. Play tight and try to trap players with your cards as long as you don't leave yourself open. If wanting to put in a sizable raise when you have "probably" the best hand - raise to the size of the pot (as long as your stack can take it). When i have played these games, i have found that the chip leaders have hit something good on the flop and really make you pay to see the next card. Hopefully get rid of the limpers, and while there should be less muppets in these games, there are still a few.
