What you are describing is exactly what I think Mitchell is talking about. You just talked about your plan on how to play the tournament according to table dynamics. If you just go and play your cards no matter what the other players are doing, then you are really not playing to a plan. But what you describe is playing to a plan, your plan. <abbr><em>McTap03’s last blog post..<a href="http://blindvsblind.blogspot.com/2009/01/january-goals.html">January Goals</a></abbr></em> Hey Francisco.

If you enter a tournament poker event with a plan to be loose and you get to the table and its a loose table I really think you got to change your strategy and went the other way. If you decide to be aggressive ( loose or thight ) and you go into a table with 4 calling stations I really think you should change your strategy... So my point is only after 20-30min you can know what is the way to go... what going to be your strategy! I´m not saying be passive or dont play hands in the begging I´m normally a Loose aggressive guy in the beggining of the tournment so I keep thay way but after 20-30min or 1hour if I got to change I will. thats my 2 cents p.s- talking about style, in a perfect table, imo, I want to play verry aggressive and loose in the beggining ( the 3-4 1st levels ) then one of two things could happend A) I´m a big stack. over the average B) I´m a short stack if I´m a shorty well I´m going to have only two moves all in or fold because after level 5 the blinds should be 600-300 with ante and with 2k left I can´t risk calling If I´m A big stack well I will change my game to tight aggressive why? 1st its always nice to change your way of play during the tournments and 2nd shortys are going to open the range of hands so playing tight I could caught more guys. After level 10-12 I open my range again a go back to my loose game but thats in a perfect tournment and in a perfect world <abbr><em>Francisco Costa’s last blog post..<a href="http://the-truth-k.blogspot.com/2009/01/pokerstarscom-caribbean-adventure-2009.html">PokerStars.com Caribbean Adventure 2009 - The portuguese guys there</a></abbr></em> I agree 100% with Poker Farce

#2 is one thing I never do and going to try to explain my self.

If you enter a tournament poker event with a plan to be loose and you get to the table and its a loose table I really think you got to change your strategy and went the other way.
If you decide to be aggressive ( loose or thight ) and you go into a table with 4 calling stations I really think you should change your strategy…

So my point is only after 20-30min you can know what is the way to go… what going to be your strategy! I´m not saying be passive or dont play hands in the begging I´m normally a Loose aggressive guy in the beggining of the tournment so I keep thay way but after 20-30min or 1hour if I got to change I will.

thats my 2 cents

p.s- talking about style, in a perfect table, imo, I want to play verry aggressive and loose in the beggining ( the 3-4 1st levels ) then one of two things could happend
A) I´m a big stack. over the average
B) I´m a short stack
if I´m a shorty well I´m going to have only two moves all in or fold because after level 5 the blinds should be 600-300 with ante and with 2k left I can´t risk calling
If I´m A big stack well I will change my game to tight aggressive why? 1st its always nice to change your way of play during the tournments and 2nd shortys are going to open the range of hands so playing tight I could caught more guys.
After level 10-12 I open my range again a go back to my loose game

but thats in a perfect tournment and in a perfect world

You never know when you will have a table you can run over or not. I really think you should take #2 off the list. You never know when you will have a table you can run over or not.

In all seriousness, this is an excellent article and I plan on keeping a copy of it on my desktop so that I can continuously review it before playing. Thanks for all the advice and I look for to your future articles. 20% reduction, that makes me an even worse player than I originally thought!
