What is the buyin? And what do you mean by approaching? Like what to do in early stages etc? I play on 888 daily so I may help if you clarify.

Hey NeverAA,

buyins range from $1-4 Dollers !! 10 min blinds, usually 3000 chips (Min 80 to max 500 entrants )

 

i was looking at a lot of vid`s here and most of them are 30min blind levels (Sunday Majors)

where there is room for much more play , should i play kheart Jheart in these 10min blinds from UTG ? or fold ? 

the idea is to accumalte chips quickly as possible , would love to see a Micro series from 888 Poker(Buying $1 – $10 ) 

 

as it is a great soft site to build a Bankroll!!

Play them the same as the micros on PS (that have same structure).

 

There are a fair few series with similar structures. Its like any other tourney where you go off your stack, positions, opponents, dynamics etc 

 

As to the question about KJs UTG it really depends on how good your postflop is.

the 10 minute level structure on 888 is usually quite a bit faster than the stars one, just because they miss more levels. 

 

they play much more like a turbo

I dont play those buyins, but I play 3k 10 minute levels. it depends on the table, but overall on 888 there is a lot of fish.

Lets say you limp KJs from UTG and someone raises it to 300, and because those players most of the time dont know what to represent with a 3x bet, you will be left in the dark but still be tempted to call. Miss the board and you already take a hit. In those tournaments every chip counts.

So my overall strategy is to play my strong hands in conjunction with the gap concept. I charge a lot for draws and get a lot of value. Play marginal hands only in position and versus eligible players(tight, weak).Sometimes they hit though, and I move on.

After you accumulate some more chips, you will realize in about 1 hour people will start pushing or folding. Range your opponents and call them off with mid to top of their ranges.

I make final table almost all of these with this strategy.
