Product Description
Product Description
The world of tournament poker is growing at an amazing rate, and one of the most significant areas of growth has been the increased interest in no-limit hold'em tournaments. Hold'em, as opposed to standard stud poker games, has boomed in popularity and so have related tournament events including much larger, no-limit events than ever before - including the four no-limit hold'em events at the World Series of Poker. Tournament play is changing. Most tournaments in the United States are nonsmoking, more novice and intermediate players are playing in no limit games, and more players are playing on the Internet and via satellite than ever before. While tournament rules still aren't standardized, some keys to tournament play and strategy can help players be more effective. Readers learn how to make the best use of their breaks, how to study the blind levels ahead of time to prepare for play, tricks for calculating chip stacks quickly, and how to adjust play for stacks and round timing. Whether a fast-moving, low-buy-in tournament or a five-day main event, "The Pocket Idiot's Guide[trademark] to Tournament Poker" will quickly become a must-have for a player's library. Learn about slow increases, round times, blinds, final table play, and the pluses and minuses of each. Find ways to adjust your strategy not just for the games but also for limits, length of rounds, big and small stacks, and other factors in today's tournament trends. Whether first timers or more experienced players, readers will learn tips on etiquette and format for all sorts of tournaments - as well as the basics of tells, wardrobe, habits, and more. Discover tournament strategies for Texas hold'em, Limit hold'em, Omaha Hi-Lo, and Seven Card Stud. Also included is a chapter on strategy and tournament basics for online tournaments. Find out how to adjust rules for a charity poker tournament.
