REAL POKER MASTERY

Going into any rebuy tournament, you should know before the first cards are dealt how much money you’re willing to invest. Whether you’re playing with a single bullet (not planning to rebuy at all), enough money to rebuy 50 times, or somewhere in between, you should have a number in your mind. You need to know from the start how many risks you can afford to take, and play accordingly.
For me personally, I don’t believe in playing with a single bullet or with unlimited ammo.

Paying $25,000 to play one poker tournament may seem quite crazy. A lot of people were saying that the six-max event would be the sickest (that’s ‘toughest’ for the over 35s out there), line-up of the Series.
Let me share some hands from early in the event:
Guy makes standard raise and is called by the big blind. Flop is 4-3-3. Pot contains around 2,000. Both players get in 60,000. Hands are T-T and 4-4 (ten on turn, obv).
Guy calls three-bet, pot is around 4,000, flop is 2-5-6.

It depends on the player
I read an article recently that reconfirmed to me why playing the online Sunday major tournaments is such a good value. The author of this particular article had won a $24 satellite into a $535 event. Once the bubble broke, the author explained that he was focused on the next pay jump. His explanation was that a pay jump of $500 represented a tremendous increase in his equity, given his initial buy-in of only “$24.”
This is obviously not the best mental…
