Kenny,

How, for Christ´s sake, do you do it???? I cant win or get to the final table in any tournament!!! I once finished 31st and 30 got paid. It was a freeroll in Party poker with 2400 entrants, so I guess that if it had been a big tourney I would have been paid very decently.

Do you follow a specific strategy of a book? I havent read any tournament strategy books, really. Only the part of tournament play in NL-PL Poker by ciaffone.

I dont think I played them badly. I havent played too many of them, but most of the time I just got really unlucky. Last one I played i FINISHED 38 in a 109 field. I had a very decent 5K chops stack when I got KK. I was in the CO and got KK. What was I suposed to do? I pushed all in. Only one caller and was MP with AA

Obviously, he's also the 6th greatest Prima Tourney player in the world...

Cloutier's NL Championship Hold'em is my favorite book, and also the strategy I use in tournaments.

I try to avoid coinflips as much as possible, and steal blinds when the tables get short handed. Survive, survive, surive..and then get lucky at the end. Thats what it takes.
