Each tournament requires a different strategy.

There's a big difference in approach when playing different games. Freerolls are looser than buyins. Deep stacks are different from small stacks. There is also a difference between a 6 seater and 9,10 seater.

For freerolls and 6 seaters, loosen up a bit.

For buyins and deepstacks, play tighter in the beginning and loosen up when you get a nice stack or when you reach 12x the big blind.

And no matter what game you're playing, loosen up a bit when you're in position with no raisers. ie. suited connectors, etc.

I know this isn't very thorough but its a simple guide that I use.We'll try to get something more comprehensive written one of these days.

"Americans have played poker throughout history. Playing poker on the internet is simply an example of an American tradition evolving into the 21st century. It is unfathomable that poker, an American pastime and game of skill, should be banned for the millions who enjoy playing responsibly."
