I've been playing a decent 35+5 bounty tourney @ harrah's rincon san diego.
The most people i've seen buy-in is about 45 players. Not a huge tourney but great for the strategy i've been implementing.
I tried the play tight and make solid moves around weaker players strategy and it's just not enough to make the money.
I've actually been doing a no limp, small ball strategy.
1. Get a feel for the table.
2. Open up hand selection in position. Q8 suited and such.
3. Raise, never limp. (exceptions)
4. Fold absolute trash.
5. Make money.
I've played it 3 times using this strategy and i've final tabled and chopped all three times.
Is this because of the low number of players? I'm still deciding whether it's a decent strategy overall or just for lower limits and smaller tourneys.
Full Version: Wait, Raise, Fold In The Money

Variance, variance, variance. The only way you can explain your results is variance. You are lucky enough to have an uptick of + variance.
Having said that, your strategy really isnt a strategy. Its more of an outline. Its not specific enough to give it a grade.
