Can't Build Table Image

Hi,

For some time now, I’ve been playing odd multi table tournaments. Most of the time, when I’m in a 6 or 10 seater game, I’ll make move to build a table image by being seriously tight most especially earlier part of the game and then will just slowly mix up styles. I believe this approach works as oftentimes I can weigh up and classify my opponents.

On the flip side, in multi-table tournaments, I can’t build table image due to lack of time. Blinds usually increase rapidly so things are a bit harder. This is what my problem is all about. I don’t know any specific approach for tournament play. I’m wondering if you have any.

Also, do you think having a more open game from the start and then having more involvement with hands will be helpful?

Your help will be much appreciated.

Thank you very much!

Bratli,

In tournaments where the blinds move faster, you should play a little loser to try and pick up chips. Playing tight can work sometimes, but that’s only if you catch good hands.

As far as building table image, with fast moving tournaments as the ones you are mentioning, building a table image can become tough. Your best bet is to focus on making good decisions and trying to build your stack if you know the table is going to break soon. Also, you can get some reads on players. Also, if this is a tournament you play often, you will likely see the same players over and over again, so watch their play. While you might only see them a few minutes in this tournament, chances are you will see them again.
