It is somewhat easier to bluff Deposit NO MONEY WIN REAL MONEY - hourly Here is how you do it * Relax. This is typically a 3 hour tournament. 120-150 hands on average with 2-3 breaks. That means you only really have to win about 15 hands to get to the money * Stay tight and only play the good hands. During the first hour you only really need to win 4 to 8 hands. If they are good size pots you will be in good shape to make a run for the money. IT IS ALL ABOUT LONGEVITY. You want to be there in 3 hours. DON'T GET CRAZY! The tourney lasts a awhile. THERE IS ALWAYS A BETTER HAND Usually after the first break 10-20% of the players remain in the tourney I have found that you only have to win 10 to 15 hands the entire tourney to place in the money (Top 28). Feel free to waste time too, it will help in the end. Take the dollar you win here and go to the Cash tables 2 cent 4 cent blinds and start playing * Big tourney satellites are also a good way to spend your money.
