My personal tournament strategy

I use a very similar strategy. It is usually a coin flip near the start. You will either go home early or make it to the final table. It is risky, but that's gambling.

I never ever ever ever advertise hoping for future action. I feel any informtion I give to other players is too much... I prefer to be the one doing the gathering.

I don't understand lugnuts comment. I use everyhand to set up later hands. I will often chase a flush against a tight player HOPING to lose a very small pot and change my table image. Or steal a few blinds not worring about if i get cuaght becuase i can use that too. Remember what you did earlier just as much as you remember what other people did. Molding your image to the table is one of the most important apsect to the game...I don't like it when another player can't get a read on me, I would rather have them think they have a read on me. If he thinks he has a read on you, mistakes will come by the truck load....Cheers

Hey Mark, you drunk yet?

Im with Mark on that i play to throw of people all the time you must play for future hands sometimes losing a pot or 2 is a good thing down the road when you slow play the chip leader with the nuts.
