So, what tips can I give you for succeeding in MTTs (multi-table tournaments) and SNGs in general for building poker bankrolls?

First of all, you have to recognise the differences between MTT strategy and cash games. Cash games afford you the luxuries of infinite table buy-ins, fixed blind levels and more or less the same players seated at the table. In tournaments however, the blinds are constantly increasing and the antes will come into play at some point. This not only makes the game faster and forces you to build up chips quickly and play aggressively, but it also means that you strategy is a lot more related to your chip stack. The M-ratio, pioneered by Paul Magriel in defining how to play according to the size of your chip stack relative to the blinds and antes, is at the forefront of MTT strategy. Most solid tournament players will always check their M-ratio, holdings and table position before deciding whether to shove pre-flop or make a 3bet/4bet call.

In terms of progressing in the tournament, you really need to apply a loose aggressive (LAG) strategy into your game. This doesn’t mean opening with any hands or bluffing pots randomly and hoping to luck out. A LAG strategy involves making more raises in strategic positions and playing aggressively against weak or nitty TAG opponents. For example, LAGs will commonly blind-steal from LP or CO by open-raising or 3betting light against tight players on the blinds or a tight table in general. Other types of bluffs and aggressive tactics include double-barrelling, check-raising, bluff-raising, slow-playing, limp-shoving and even Squeeze play. Squeeze play is epitomises the relative importance of table position when stealing blinds in a tournament. It is used to steal pots from an LP open-raiser who is re-raised by an EP re-stealer, and both will hopefully fold or be “squeezed” out of the hand because of the relative strength holding of your hand from that particular position (usually UTG+2 or MP).

Another important principle to understand in tournaments is ICM (independent chip model). This is basically used to make risk vs reward decisions in terms of tournament equity, as opposed to the chip equity (cEV) calculations that you’ll be used to in cash games. The main effects are that you have to play very tight in the run up to the bubble, potentially folding to opponents shoving in front of you even when you know that if you called you’d be a 70% favourite.

The race itself is both difficult and challenging for jockeys and horses, but it is very enjoyable to watch. It is a handicap chase run over a designed track of just under 5 miles (4 miles and 6 furlongs) through a series of some of the biggest fences in racing. Speed alone is definitely not enough, because horses must have perfect form and superb strength to be able to conquer the obstacles and be the winner of this amazing event. Check out the thirty fences to be jumped and various other obstacles along the way; there is always a lot of excitement throughout the race day guaranteed.

The event is held every year in early April, usually Saturday afternoon, and the 2010 Grand National is just a couple of months away. Be sure to book your ticket early or you will not be able to enjoy it live at the Aintree. You will have a lot of fun at the track indeed, especially with lots of interesting moments and betting opportunities added. Last year’s winners took home a cool £900,000 in total; the competition will be stiff, which means a lot of actions can be expected during 2010 Grand National for sure.

If you are new to the game of video poker, it would be best for you to start with the machine where the lowest denomination games are played. You can migrate to higher denominations with gaining practice and expertise.

So far as online video poker is concerned, you will be playing against a machine. There is no time limit for the game. It will be possible for you to study all the hands to take the correct decision in respect of the game. However, do not commit the traditional mistake of considering the ace as the most important card instead of jack which holds the trick.

Holding back the Jack instead of the Ace gives you the edge in the game. Instead of keeping a high card, a pair gives you better results. For example, a pair of two could be better than one high card. Remember this golden rule while discarding.

Another thing to remember is not to draw an inside straight. Even when you are carrying an open-ended straight, you should follow this rule. While having bad hands, do not go back from choosing five cards. On the other hand it would be better to hold the paying hand save when you have the chance of becoming the Royal Flush that is the highest ranking cards in the online video poker.

Most of the players commit the fatal mistake of staking their winnings in high card showdown bonus. It is pure luck and the chances of losing are far greater than normal games.

And never draw five cards if you are having Jack or better.
