Tournament play can look very similar to standard ring game poker. And most players play tournaments the way they play in a cash game. But there are big differences in what’s correct strategy when you compare tournament play with cash games.
It is definitely possible to make a living playing online tournament poker but I think its easier to do that playing cash games. The volatility in your short term results will be to big and that’s a bad thing when you have to live on your winnings. Online tournaments are a great form of poker for the recreational player. With a relatively small investment you can win really big. You pay less rake compared to cash games. And the luck factor is big, almost anybody can win a tournament.
If you want to improve your tournament poker I recommend you to read Dan Harrington´s “ Harrington on Hold’em “ vol 1 and 2. This is definitely the best books ever written on tournament poker. Harrington explains in details how to adjust your game to the rising blinds. And that’s a key factor for successful tournament poker, you have to get more and more aggressive when the blinds get bigger and bigger, compared to your stack size.
Online there are thousands and thousands of no limit hold’em tournaments every day, ranging from single table events with a $1 buy-in to multi-table events with buy-ins of hundreds of dollars and prize funds of over $100000.
