1. Tournament Strategy Fundamentals - The fundamental strategies for winning poker tournaments – all kinds of tournaments, including Sit and Go tourneys, with betting strategies, money management, starting hands to play (and avoid!) and much more.
2. Playing Position Correctly - You'll learn how to use position at the table properly and to your advantage, including which hands to play from which positions, and how to keep from losing your chips due to poor position.
3. Adjusting to Changing Conditions - The secrets to winning Sit and Go tournaments is adjusting your play as blinds and number of players changes. Done correctly, you'll end up in the final 3 in the money. These are the most important secrets of winning on a consistent basis.
4. Winning Heads-up Play - Arguably one of the most misunderstood, yet most fun and important phase of a tournament, is playing heads-up against another good player. I'll share the secrets of winning heads-up with you...you'll not find these techniques anywhere else, and this chapter alone is worth the price of this entire e-book by itself. Playing winning heads-up poker means the difference between being the Champion and coming in 2nd Place. There's a huge difference in payout that goes to the winner, along with the recognition as the tournament champion, so it's important to be prepared to take 1st place every time you can.
5. Beating Aggressive Players - There's something about no-limit Texas Hold'em that attracts the overly aggressive player, and these players can be very problematic to deal with, so this lesson shows how to take advantage of the aggressive and wild players, and strategies for moving their chip stacks into yours. This is extremely powerful, once you understand how to do it.
6. Online Tells - There are definitely “tells” you can use when playing online. Do you know these tells? Do you use them? If not, chances are they're being used against you! Gain the online edge by understanding online tells. Detecting weakness in other players and using this to your advantage enables you to take pots you wouldn't otherwise get, steal blinds more effectively, and avoid wasting your chips when you're already beaten.
7. Successful Bluffing and Blind Stealing - One of the most important moves in poker is bluffing opponents, and in tournament play, you must be capable of successfully bluffing and stealing blinds as the game progresses, including using techniques such "representing the board", semi-bluffs, knowing when to bluff and when not to attempt it, in order to survive increasing blinds and antes and place in the money, as well as to win heads-up.
Then, there's a final chapter bringing it all together, summarizing how to maximize your Texas Hold ‘em winnings. Once you've been through this short-course, you'll not only become a formidable poker tournament player, you'll also be able to use these same techniques in regular ring games to boost your profits there as well.
