Online Tournament Tips

This post is mostly about what I have experienced in alot of recent playing in online poker tournaments. These tips have worked for me in not just Texas Holdem, but 7 card stud, Omaha, and Five Card Draw as well.

On To The Poker Tips
When you are playing online poker tournaments, especially multi-table tournaments, I find that it is better to play your cards and your position than it is to try and figure the players out. There is usually too much going on too fast with too many players changing out to be able to focus enough on how the people are playing their cards. I still post notes on the players that are being very obviously such as making big bets almost every hand, we all know they aren't getting a killer hand every time. I also post notes for those who do get good hands more frequently. These guys are pretty easy to keep track of without much effort. All you have to do is pay attention to how he's playing the good hands that he's getting, this way you can tell if he's trapping or fishing.

Playing your position is an extremely important thing to do whether or not your paying attention to the players or not. Knowing position strategy will help you know when it may be a good time to bluff or maybe just slow play your hand.

Play your cards. Don't play crap cards. I know that some of you see plenty of people calling all-ins with the worst hands possible and end up winning, sometimes more than once or twice. This is a terrible strategy and should not be practiced. Those people won't last long and they are never the ones who win the tournaments.

To sum it all up.  Play your cards right, know how to play your positions, and don't play too much attention to the other players.
