Hold 'Em Tournament Tips

The following are Hold 'Em Tournament Tips. We have 10 tips for you that we hope you will find useful in your understanding of no limit Texas Hold 'Em poker tournaments. Let's get started!

Tip 1

Keep it simple. Don't play too many hands. Top players are selective about what they play & how they play. Early on, you have more players following after you so obviously you require a stronger hand. Be aware of where you are at in the game.

Tip2

You will find statistically you will complete a flush almost 5.8 of the time. With 2 suited cards 23 percent of the time. This means each time you play cards that are two suited your chances of a flush are about one in every 16 tries. Don't get hung up on low suited cards as a bigger flush can always take you out.

Tip 3

Place little value on small change pairs. Hope that you flop the set after getting in as cheaply as possible.

TIP4

Follow the fit or fold course of action. A flop, should improve your hand. If it doesn't then it doesn't fit your hand so you fold if you have a bet in front of you.

TIP 5

Keep them guessing. When you raise don't just raise blind, always keep your amount the exact same. Keep everyone in the dark.

Tip 6

Cold Calling. This is when you have to call the original bet and also raise it. Save this one only for a very strong hand, don't play silly games with your money!

Tip 7

You will never make it big by going "All In" this move is for the movies.
