Got a deep-stack tournament tonight, I believe a $60 buy-in, although $10 of that goes toward bounties.
Based on recent tournaments, I think I'm feeling pretty comfortable. I do have some specific goals:
- Early on, play small ball. With no rebuy, I don't want to get a large portion of my stack committed with a weak hand or do a large coin flip. On the other hand, there is a lot of value early on so I don't want to play extremely tight. Just small jabs, try to steal pots, and build slowly.
- Later on, towards the money bubble, get much more aggressive. This generally hasn't be a problem. I do need to avoid playing scared when it could cost me my stack yet I believe I have the best hand.
- Short-handed (if it gets that far) make more three-bets/resteals in addition to opening a lot of pots. This was a big issue last time, and I let myself play too many hands OOP with large blinds. I'm pretty good at pre-flop play, so I shouldn't be afraid to put in a three-bet if I'm playing against an opponent that will lay down a lot of hands.
