Las Vegas, betting capital of the world. The strip has been referred to as the Disney Land for adults. Anything can happen there. But one thing is for sure, people gamble. Walking around the Casino at night you try to find the game that is most appealing to you. A poker tournament is is going on in the back. You stay and watch and wonder why you cannot do that. Well, you can. There are poker tournament strategies out there.

Poker, like most gambling is tempting. Being impulsive with money is most people's first instinct. This is a big no. Rushing bets can be the end of your game before you even had the chance to settle in. Doing this runs a higher risk of losing money fast, and little to no time to win it back to even break even. I am not advising you to fold when you have a royal flush in an early hand. A poker tournament is like a marathon. If you sprint for the first mile, you'll be out of the race. But the longer you pace yourself, and stay in the game, your chance of winning increases.

Poker is not a team game. Its one against the rest. You will not win every hand. That is not the goal either. The goal should be to be in the game till the last hand is dealt.

Showing anytime of emotion can sink you during live play. If you have a full house ace and kings, though you may want to jump for joy, that would be harmful. Subsequently, if you have a hand of nothing, not even a pair, you cannot show any disappointment. Live tournaments is about reading the players as much as it is about reading the cards.

Live tournaments could be a big step for some new to the game. Online tournaments can be a nice stepping stone. All the same elements of poker exist online. But you are in the comfort of your own home, and not playing in front of the opposing players. Even though you have the option to play other live players.

Online porker play is legal in most countries. The US is still legal to play online poker tournaments. Yet, in recent years it is becoming more of a hassle to pay online. The government has been taking slow steps to phasing out the online betting for all games. Many funders and online player are in opposition to the government in this way.
