Situation: Tournament tonight, 2 rounds, 20 hands/round, NO MAX on the bet, 2 winners per semi-final table. Due to nature of rules, at my table, I'll be one of 4 players with 500 chips to two people with +/- 800 and one guy out of reach at 2500.
Strategies? I'm guessing the two 800s will beat on one another. I know the basics, but how long do I wait to make my move?
Quick! And, thanks.
Let's say the 2nd guy needs 1,200 to get to the next round. The difference between the goal of 1,200 and your initial 500 is 700. That means, you need to win, on average, 35 per round over the 20 rounds. However, if you believe it only takes 1,000 to get to the next round, then your bogey is 25 per round. Plan and play accordingly.
Good luck.
As it turned out, I quickly rose to second place at my table, and it all came down to a split and doubled pair of threes against a six which would have put me in the neighborhood of the untouchable table leader, but the dealer turned it into twenty and out I went.
