Poker tournaments are very popular and can prove to be very lucrative for many players.

These 10 tips on tournament poker will help you develop the necessary skills to win.

These tips will help you have a better chance of winning your next poker tournament, whether it is online or live.

Let's start with the first tip.

TIP 1 - PLAY THE RIGHT STARTING HANDS

You'd be surprised at how many players still play with marginal hands, given the abundance of preflop charts.

It is clear that most players want to gamble, and don't care about poker strategy. These players tend to blame luck for their losses. It's all great news for everyone who reads this article.

Here are the Pokernerve recommended preflop ranges, so you won't have any guesses about which hands to play.

When entering the pot, make sure you are first in the pot. You can leave the limping to fish.

POSITION

Preflop ranges will show you that the earlier you sit down at the table, the more hands you should play.

You will have more opponents if you are in an early position. This increases the chances that someone could be dealt an extremely strong hand.

This also means you can play a lot of different games when you're at the button. Because you are in-position, the button is one of few positions that allows you to do quite a bit of calling.

Preflop raises should not be called with hands like 7-5 from middle-position. Due to the flush and straight possibilities, these hands can be quite exciting for beginners. These hands can also be very sneaky, which gives you the feeling of being an ninja.

These marginal suited connectors can be a huge cost to you over the course of many thousands of poker hands. They'll be unable to win post-flop. Sometimes, you might not even see the flop after the pot has been re-raised.

Get rid of any bad habits before the big day and stay within the preflop range.

Also, be aware that strategies with more speculative hands and play in general will change depending on your stack size.

TIP 2 - BE STACK SIZE AWARENESS

It is crucial to be able to adjust your play according to your stack size.

You can categorize stack sizes at the table as short, medium or deep. But, this won't be enough information to help you make a decision at the table.

A lot of players use their big blinds to indicate how deep they stack are. Although this isn’t a mistake, it is best to calculate your stack size using its 'M' value.

We'll show you why 'M' is better than 'BB' if you're currently using it to calculate your stack size.

SHORTER STACKS

Short stacks will push-or-fold. They are too short to wait for good hands so they will seek out any positive all in situation.

You should also remember that this could mean that you don't want too much freedom when entering the pot. This is because all-ins are more likely to occur when there are several short stacks. Because you won't get the right price to call, these all-ins will force your marginal holdings to fold.

You need to be familiar with power numbers in order to make sure you are playing profitably when you have a short stack. This simple system will allow you to play the short-stacked like a pro.

Your win rate will increase dramatically if you use the power number system. To dramatically improve your poker skill, you can watch the video below. How to Hold a Texas Holdem Tournament - Correct Tournament Strategy
