Glad to hear ur making a run for the big $$$$ in the Open League
Mastering the optimum use of time management is a good first step
Now as a follower of this competitve league I would like to offer up these
finer points for your consideration. Adoption of any or all of these tactics
alone will not assure successfull results but they were utilized by previous contendures.
First and foremost you MUST have THE BIBLE. This is a complete list of starting hands
which must be played strongly if you hope to build your chip stack or folded despite
any implied pot odds to keep from losing your chipees. While it impossible to list all of
them here, a few examples of the wisdom contained in this book are play any
+ black 4 followed by a red 10, it was a drunk russian that authored this installment
+ any 7 2 if the likely caller is a nit holding AA, suspected author was a canuck chap
- fold AA if pot is raised and reraised, origin unknown but obivously a superior being
I have seen this book on EBAY wolrd wide but recommend the version written by a UK lad.
Another finer point of play is to sit out as the blinds approach to be moved to another table most likely being placed behind the button. The Spanish have adopted this move with great success
Should you be the big stack at your table push ATC if there are mutiple players in the hand
and your reads make you confident you are entering with the worst hand. This phanomon
is widely known as "Bigstack, Chip Magnent" and is built into the site software
I hope this wisdom helps you obtain great riches
