Strategies for tournaments II

The concept called M refers to the number that defines the number of rounds that would be before we’re done with our chips. And this is calculated as follows: M = Number of coins / money in the pot

Money is valued by calculating boat blinds plus the number of participants, which is multiplied by the prior.

NOTES:
– This is debatable as it depends on the number of chips own and rivals, blinds and other factors. - The calculation with decimals and everything is not necessary. Just a quick calculation to assess how many laps left until we delete them.

The concept M and the Four Areas

Anticipating the question of the importance of knowing which is the number M, we define which is important when deciding certain issues in the pre-flop. According to the most experienced players, there are four areas:

Green: Ranked among the top 10 tournament. We could choose to play more hands or less. Accumulate chips by stealing blinds freely.

Yellow: With the concept M between ten and twenty, should aggression, but we are full of chips. As far as we approach the ten, possess fewer numbers of bonds to get the boat.

Orange: Concept M between 6 and 10. We have to show us a lot more aggressive. Red: Concept M between one and five. What remains is to make all-in. At this point, the most important thing is to analyze which is the goal we’re aiming to continue in this competition, but if our goal is the prize, we got close, and it is enough, then M is not as crucial.

• However, if our goal is to go forward, and we want more than the prize, then M is an important number.

Sometimes there are just as important as the letters themselves that the well has not entered anyone. Because if someone has done will have to wait for the hand that is if we have a better play. However, if no one came, although we have a very strong hand, we can go all-in in the event that our M is 4 or less than 4, since we will not have rounds. What that means is that we must risk with weak hands if we are to survive.

We must assess the circumstances before the all-in of an opponent, check the index M and the opponent’s own, and check if it is passive or aggressive. If we have enough chips, with the moves of 50 / 50 we would call and would try to eliminate opponents, this would help us earn new cards. But if we do not have enough chips, the situation is shaping up a bit complicated and if we have a very large battery does it’s best to do call and see what happens.

But if there raise and re-raise before it is your turn and two players all-in, are likely to have AA, KK or AK.

And the head ups? is important to make an assessment of the opponents, at least to call regardless of the cards we have. If the opponent then raise, respond to AX, or something similar. However, we must be careful not to use very weak hand, if the raise is constant, however, with premium hands would take advantage slowplay.

It is also possible to call and bring some increase if we have AA, KK or QQ and peers such as Ax or Kx raise, and bring some call.

If we call from the BB position with peers as Ax, Kx or QT will raise. And if there is an increase by the opponent will re-raise Conax, Kx, or QT. However, if you often get raise, we must call or re-raise by reducing the class or quality of any hands.

To call and reraise, we can conveniently raise the quality of the hands, if offered a few raises. Otherwise, if we receive just raise, raise the quality of our hands doing reraise and call.

• If we offer a few raises, we can very conveniently raise the quality of hands to call and reraise. If, however, we received a few raises, it is desirable to improve the quality of our hands and make reraise and call.
