1 EARLY DOORS

In the early stages of the tournament identify the weak players at your table, and tr y to get involved with them in a few pots.

In terms of starting hand selection it’s best to avoid calling raises with easily dominated hands like A-J, K-Q and K-J as these can get you into a lot of trouble. Small pairs and suited connectors are golden hands early on though, because it’s much easier to know where you’re at in the hand. If you hit a set with a small pair, you know that 95 percent of the time you have the best hand.
