the begining of a tournament

[anaindia85]

hello guys , i play poker since 4 years.....had my good and bad results. online i already had great results but when the big tournaments come, like final stages to wpt and so on, i always fail..... i have some question to you about something that i have been thinking how to do. HOW DO YOU FACE A BEGINING OF A TOURNAMENT? IF YOU PLAY ALREADY AGRESSIVE IN THE BEGINING OR WHAT? i have a supersticion, i have always to win the first hand that i chose to go....otherwise, i feel like the tournament will be nothing.....the true is that when i win a all in ( i whait always for a monster hand or just a pocket pair) in the first hand that i m in , normally i make a final table.

Re: the begining of a tournament :welcome anaindia Honestly, I would prefer to face a superstitious player who 'needs' to win the first hand he enters - rather than a player who can lay down his AJ on the flop when it's obvious he is behind. The oft-quoted view that you can't win a tournament in the early levels but you can lose one couldn't be more true. Consider that the next time you see pocket 4s and feel the need to double up with them :ok
