The most common playing format for poker tournaments is the knockout
A poker tournament is a tournament where players compete by playing poker. It can feature as few as two players playing on a single table (called a "heads-up" tournament), and as many as tens of thousands of players playing on thousands of tables. The winner of the tournament is usually the person who wins every poker chip in the game and the others are awarded places based on the time of their elimination. To facilitate this, in most tournaments, blinds rise over the duration of the tournament. Unlike in a ring game (or cash game), a player's chips in a tournament cannot be cashed out for money and serve only to determine the player's placing.
In this video, Katie goes through a 180-man $3 Rebuy tournament. She explores the nuances of rebuy tournaments. Other key concepts include: Shoving ranges, calling ranges, equity versus a range, PokerStove, Nash Equilibrium, generalizing reg ranges, playing out of position, and optimal post flop lines.
I will continue to record every thought that crosses my head as I am faced with some tough decisions
that often occur in MTTs. I will discuss when to cbet and when to wait for another street to try and take
a pot away, how our style of play should change based on differing stack sizes, and trying to put opponents on a range of hands in order to make the best play. Enjoy
In this two part series, Katie examines her own hand history from a recent tournament. Topics discussed include: deepstacked play, speculative hands, playing in position, pot odds, bet-sizing, post-flop lines, playing creatively, multi-tabling, mis-clicking, iso-ing limps versus playing a hand in position, applying pressure as the big stack, calling ranges, playing exploitively versus unexploitably, and countering a loose-passive opponent head's up.
In this video you will watch live as I make every decision in an attempt to build a stack during the mid stage of a $60 freezeout MTT.

Playing down to the final table, I continue to pass on marginal spots and pick those that, based on dynamics, are much more reliably consistent to show a profit, and put my opponents to the tough decisions, instead of vice versa.
