Tight early is actually a really decent strategy, not least 'cos it's the opposite to what most people do. The other great thing to do, which is also opposite to what most people do, is to open up later on. Maybe when the blinds get to 300/600 you ought to have gradually eased through the gears. If you do play super-tight and you've barely played or won a hand by 9.30pm you'll still have over 7000 chips and with the blinds still pretty low you'll have loads of play. Best of luck (unless you're on my table). Posted by NChanning
I hope im there at 300/600 aha and yeah I might plat tight but I still want to build my stack up and up ect and Thanks you + I hope im not on your table Untill the Final table
Can't really add much in terms of advice on top of what other's have already said, just forget the BI and try to make good decisions in the situations you're given, simplez Best of luck tonight Beast. Posted by Lambert180
macacgirl1 won a seat into a UKOPS high roller event, and she doesn't even play mtts as she was a PLO8 dym player. here is her write-up after coming 6th and winning over £2,000 - gl to u2 I should have known really on the FT that I was facing a monster hand, a min raise from that position, but with JJ and only 10 Big Blinds left, I kinda think I did the right thing by getting the lot in. In fact I'm sure it was the right thing to do. I didn't get that far to just try and ladder another place, I wanted to win the thing! So I gottem in hoping I was flipping or that I'd be lucky. Nevermind. It was really interesting to play the game actually. My plan played itself out perfectly. I knew there'd be some serious players there and that I couldn't outplay them, I knew they'd use sharky and see that I wasn't a tournament player, so I played it super passive for 30 minutes, let em take my blinds, didn't defend once. Luckily after an hour or so I found top set on the flop, managed to double up and knock out one poor soul who hit middle set and that set me going. Played super passive again for an hour, let em steal my blinds, then hit another big hand to knock someone else out. After that, my plan of creating a super tight image obviously worked as I was at-it left right and centre! I didn't have a genuine hand for another two and a half hours, but every twenty minutes or so I went for it. Only 'orrible situation was when I was moved to a table with the top 4 stacks and me when I was about position 9 or 10 out of 15, I knew I'd be the target but luckily only had to defend blinds a couple of times whilst I had junk and before I knew it, I was moved to new table as we were down to 12 players left. Yet again, before I knew it, it was FT. so, Mission accomplished and win £100 from freerolls challenge completed! Thanks Neil, I think you're being too kind, I was lucky to be honest. I had to throw a couple of three barrel bluffs into the mix in the last couple of hours just to stick around and luckily I never got looked up come the river. Posted by GELDY

Vwp beast, saw you play, luckily enough Rspca12 was on your table too so that was a bonus. A very tough table you were on especially as Mr Channing was on it, also SoLack with chips. I have heard that when he's got chips he's very dangerous. Hope you had fun.
