That is over the long run, but at times those who pull the trigger quickly can be lucky and hit the right cards all the time. But in general it is right that it should even out over time and everyone gets lucky every now and then. If you are too tight it could cost you a lot of opportunities on the poker table, but I agree that playing only the best cards is a good strategy in tournaments with a large number of participants. You will find enough players getting it in with bad cards. Catching them usually pays off well unless you get sucked out.

Slots is a luck based game. So, we can also try our luck with poker if we're on that crucial moment where we're on the last round of the table and we think that we're about to lose. Fake bluffs, all-in but it's all emotional concern and our luck will be determined after those rounds. But you're right that there is no technique in slots compared to poker and all that I've mentioned are also strategies that we mostly do. Well, if some slots player say that they have some strategy, let's just guess it mostly about how they manage their bankrolls. Other than that, I cannot think of anything related to the actual gameplay.

You didn't share anything about how you enjoyed the game and how aggressive your game was. Although I couldn't see it when you posted it due to my busy schedule, I will definitely participate in such tournaments next time.

I was quite careful this time and out of 33 participants cmiiw, I ended up 7th. Not bad for me and that's the last table that I was in. On the last rounds, I was too aggressive and the top placer got 21k chips and somehow went down to 14k-17k because of his aggressiveness. I want to take advantage of that and so whenever he all-ins, I am doing it as well. Got some win against him but it didn't last. When I was on the 2nd-3rd place, I sit out and trying to observe until the others in the table got eliminated but that strategy didn't worked.

Poker books quickly become ineffective, and in my opinion, they are not the best way to improve your poker skills. Nowadays, you can easily find lots of websites with up-to-date theory, as well as simulators, programs for analyzing hands, and training exercises.

I would rather play the available freerolls than rely on a book to improve my skills or try new strategies or whatever. I think practical experience is much more effective when it comes to learning techniques than studying something in theory, like from a book or reading an article, etc. Apart from freerolls, cash tables with low stakes, such as 0.05/0.1, or even 0.02/0.04 are good ways to do some practice because you literally lose nothing on these tables, but you will get to learn, observe how others play, experiment with your cards and hands, and I'm pretty sure you will learn way more this way.

How much did you buy the book for, by the way? And what's the name of the book? I've never read any books or articles about poker techniques or ways that can improve our gameplay; everything that I've learned is from practical experiences, participating in tournaments, freerolls, and playing cash tables with small stakes, just like what I suggested above.

Try to participate in as many tournaments as you can, especially the ones which are free, because you will play against good players in them, and that can give you a lot of experience.

You're right, and gaining experience is not that hard these days, especially with platforms such as SwC, where you have tables with stakes at low as 0.02/0.04 chips, which is roughly $0.03/0.06 in you convert its value to USDT, and that's too low, and perfect for someone who is trying to gain experience because you can literally play for whole day with only $5 or less if you don't go all-in and lose it all at once.


I've also noticed that even very good and experienced players join freerolls, and that's only because they want to practice, obviously, because no one would waste their time completing for a few chips if they don't have any other motives. I do the same, I never play freerolls for money, unless it's a private one with a higher prize for the top three or so.

In fact, the table of 0.02/0.04 stakes do not always contains. This is the reason to say. Yesterday got some chips after 2nd place at a freeroll. cash game to play, at least 0.02/0.04 stakes do not have the table available. Because Cash Game has a specific time for the table. However, Minimum 0.80 Chips will be required to participate here.

NLH Freeroll [20 Chips]

And there are 5 minutes time, anyone can participate in.

Yes, it is very low in the prize of these tournaments. But we all participate in at least 3-5 Tournament Event per week. But almost all the events are Buy-in. That is why we should play Freeroll Tournament to enhance our skills. Because the participant in the freeroll tournament is much higher and challenging than the Buy-in Tournament. And if you can top almost all the time here or compete with everyone, it's possible to do best in buy-in tournaments.
