How to Improve Your Tournament Game



Gain experience online
Online tournaments are a great way to gain experience. The poker rooms on the Internet offer tournaments with re-buys or freeze outs, with buy-ins ranging from $1 to several thousand dollars. The size of the buy-in will not affect your basic strategy very much. There may be several hundred players in a "cheap" tournament and it will not be easy to win.

Online games are quicker
Online games are much quicker than live ones - there is no shuffling, no chip counting and so on. You play a considerably higher number of hands per hour and thus gain more experience. The online poker rooms also offer many one or two table tournaments. That is a good way to practice final table play.
