END STAGES STRATEGY IN NLHE MULTI-TABLE TOURNAMENTS

Towards the end of the tournament is when the coin-flip decisions become very important.

Frequently, the blinds are so high it makes sense for a player with a low or moderate stack to go all-in preflop.

When you go all-in, you want to have an Ace and a good kicker or a pocket pair.
-Ace/kicker has advantage against all unpaired hands and may even have someone dominated.
-Pocket pair has advantage against all unpaired hands and a huge advantage OR disadvantage against other pocket pairs (depending on who has the bigger one).

Generally, if you have one of these marginal hands, it's best to just shove all of your chips in preflop.

When you are a low stack, you cannot afford to be blinded away anymore. Once the flop comes, chances are it's not going to be perfect.

By shoving in all of your chips preflop, you have the added chance of stealing the blinds and can avoid being bluffed out. Smile

Ah ha!! Now that makes sense...I had been trying to wait for the right hand only to get stuck losing my blinds and sort of fading away...

thanks!

ya waiting for those hands as your money drains away is a pain... When I am low I try to play a good hand just like that. Some nights the cards just don't come your way though and you just have to go for broke and hope for the best.

"Frequently, the blinds are so high it makes sense for a player with a low or moderate stack to go all-in preflop." Just thought I'd throw this in. I've heard SO many times, that there must be something to the 10 to 15 times the big blind theory. The strategy being when your stack reaches minimum 10 times the amount of the big blind, its time to shove. Example: If the big blind is 500, and your stack is 5,000. You'd better get it in there! Otherwise, every hand further diminishes the value of your dwindling stack. And you likely wont scare many, if any, other players off of their hand.
