Big Time Tourney Strategy

[glceud]

With a number of PL members about to play in major tournies I think we need to work out the best way to play these things. Got back today from my second attempt at a largeish buy in tourney the GUKPT event in Brighton. I know its not the WSOP or the WPT, but with a prize fund of over £300,000, a first place prize of £100,000 and the final table televised it is certainley a life changing oppurtunity in my eyes. I am 100% sure that the standard in these event is little better than the majority of $10 freezeouts. I know I made a lot of basic mistakes in the UK open last year and hoped to do better here. Here is my 2nd hand from the event. Very early so no reads on any one. seat 1 SB 25 Folds Seat 2 BB 50 Folds Glceud Ks Kc raise to 200 seat 3 folds seat 4 folds seat 5 folds seat 6 folds seat 7 folds seat 8 folds seat 9 folds seat 10 calls Flop Kh 6h 3s Glceud bets 450 seat 10 raises to 900 What would you do next? Any comments appreciated

Re: Big Time Tourney Strategy I dont think many of us have much experience of big events .... :unsure When I flop a big hand like that I usually bet it. I feel a check stinks "big hand" - if I miss I probably put a half pot continuation bet in - so I try the same here. (If he really wants to find out where he is, he needs to reraise!! If he flat calls, then I probably check the turn to really "sell" weakness and that I just put a continuation bet in post flop) A possible flush draw out there too which I would want him to pay for, though against one opponent, I'm not too scared of a flush draw... I presume this is going to be a bad beat? :sad EDIT - ooops didn't see the post flop betting - how deep are the stacks? Presume you have something like 10,000 chips?
