in tourny play (tp) you simply cannot exhibit the same level of patience as you should be exhibiting in cash play (cp). with tp the always increasing blinds demand that you must be looser and more aggressive, playing the other players, playing from position, playing situations and THEN considering your pocket cards, whereas with cp it is patience, patience and more patience, waiting for the premium or semipremium hands (pocket pairs down to 10/10 and maybe AK, AQ unless position and situation allow you play smaller pairs or smaller connectors AND never forget that suited cards only means a 3% advantage) |
