To win the tournament, you must collect all the chips for all competitors. However, on the road to success is even more important not to lose their chips, where it is not. We’ll list you on the 5 common mistakes tournament players.

1. Excessive use of contbet

Great tournament (unless, of course, you went far enough) consists of several hundred distribution. A lot of times, putting on preflope, we promahnemsya past flop and will have to reset the card. From time to time we will be able to deceive the enemy and take the bank contbet  continuation bet on flop. However, if we put kontbet permanently, the opponents will be able to use it. I usually play on fruit machines when I have no idea why I’m loosing in poker all the time.

a) Do not place kontbet 100%

case!
b) to place bets on a small size.

Use kontbet if you are very likely to believe that the opponent throw the card in the pass, or when you have a strong draw. Loss of chips on the wrong kontbete affect the course of the tournament. Try not to give away his stack on the flop permanent bluff.

Also pay attention to the size of continued rate. Kontbet in 2 / 3 of the bank or even the size of a bank – an error that will cost you dearly in the distance. Put smaller. If your kontbet equal to half of the bank, you only need to succeed (pass of the enemy) in one case three, to make this bluff was not adverse to the mathematical expectation.

Consider some examples.

Your hand: (A-Hearts) (K-Hearts)
Flop: (7-Hearts) (2-Hearts) (J-Diamonds).
Number of opponents: 1.

A good flop for your hand. Matches you do not, but there are two overkarty and silneo Draw. Kontbet in this situation is fully appropriate, and even if the call by the enemy you have a good chance to win this hand.

Your hand is: (K-Hearts) (Q-Clubs)
Flop: (A-Spades) (8-Spades) (8-Clubs).
Number of opponents: 3.

Setting kontbet in this situation, in my opinion, a mistake. First, a bank, three opponents, and the chances are great that someone of them has an ace or pocket pair. The chances that all three are cast in the pass card, a little bit. Poberegite his stack.

2. Replaying strong hands on preflope

One of the first of the tournament. You are at a late position with (A-Hearts) (K-Diamonds). Big stack at the middle position does raise a 4 big blind. You think a few seconds and switch it to the ALL-in. He kolliruet with (Q-Clubs) (Q-Hearts), and even a few seconds you will retire from the tournament, not having to print in chat habitual «nh».

When playing with a deep stack such iny-ALL – a serious mistake. There is no need to hurry! Better try to look flop.

Best game in that situation – do rereyz. Opponent raises 100 chips, Move it to 400. If he kolliruet, you will flop on the initiative. If ALL-in, I think, throw a pass in the-K will not be a mistake.

The same applies to the steam-type JJ. Too often I have seen the replay a couple of players jacks, willingly going to the ALL-in at preflope, although such an ALL-in kolliruyut only overpary against whom you have a 20% or overkarty against whom you have a little more than 50%. Poker – it is not Russian roulette!

3. Unwillingness to modify the range of the call at high blind

At the beginning of the tournament you can enter a raise to 80 chips with a hand-type (6-Clubs) (7-Clubs), seeking to get stronger and trudnochitaemuyu hand on flop. However, with such blind 400/800 call can become a bad habit.

The same can be said about a pair of minor-type 4-4. Seth, you go once out of eight. 2400  raise 8 times, you lose 16,800 in those seven cases where promahnetes miss flop. Thus, with setom you must win at least 16900. I personally prefer to stay with its 16800 …

4. Lack of aggression against the blinds

The farther you go in the tournament, it must become more aggressive your game. Taytovy style is perfect for the early levels, but low values of M, you should expand from late position raise.

Your hand is: (K-Spades) (10-Diamonds)
Position: katoff
Blinds: 300/600
Stack: 10,000

Before you are discharged. Your hand is not particularly strong, but some value has. And it is definitely strong enough to try to steal the blinds. Take a raise until 1500. If Button reset, and the big blind kolliruet (which happens quite often), you will play after the flop to take the initiative and the position and the opponent is unlikely to blefovat if you do not get in the flop. Your bid for the flop more often than not pick up the bank, adding to your stack of chips 1800.

By refusing to similar attempts to steal the blinds, you lose 900 chips of each circle that reflects poorly on your stack.

5. Collection of Draw-handed without a sufficient chance of the bank

There is still a very common mistake. The player catches natsovoe flash draws on the flop and was ready kollirovat very large stakes in the race for the flash. And on some sites flash Draw is regarded as an absolute GTZ, and received his players not hesitate to call ALL-in.

Your hand: (A-Hearts) (J-Hearts)
Flop: (5-Hearts) (9-Hearts) (Q-Diamonds)
Your stack: $ 11,000
In the bank: $ 2,500

Opponent with a stack of 5000 puts 1900. Can we kollirovat his bid? No, because we have not enough chances to the bank.

Chance to catch the flash is 35%, and for the correct call should be 43%. In doing so, the chance that the opponent in response to reset our ALL-in, virtually non-existent because of the size of its stack.

Reset your flash draws and wait for better opportunities to increase your stack. If you’re overly aggressive play flash Draw, you have good chances to quickly find themselves in a group shortstekov.
