Now, let's talk about being micro stacked in a tournament. You know, in the last couple of positions if everyone has folded around to you, you can pretty much go all in with any hand if you're M or CSI is like three. The reason to do this is you still have a minimal amount of fold equity and at this point you can't wait around and hope for a big hand. You need to put the pressure on whatever small amount of pressure you can to get the big blind to fold to you. So even if I look down and I see jack eight or if I look down and I see ten five, if I look down and see six three, I'm gonna put all in because you know what, not everybody will call with a seven six. And in that case I get a couple more precious chips and I actually increase my stack by like twenty percent. That's pretty key. This is a key poker strategy tool that not everybody understands. If you understand it then you've got an even better chance to win at poker tournaments.
