Poker tournament strategy is a complex affair and different players will offer different advice. There are a few things, however, which will remain consistent between the advice of any given player, no matter how skilled or unskilled they may be. You begin understanding the strategy related to poker tournament play by understanding how these tournaments are set up. Each player will buy into the tournament by paying for a certain amount of chips plus the fee demanded by the casino or the online establishment hosting the tournament. The fee is usually a percentage of the chips. For example, a $500 buy-in tournament may actually cost $520 once the cost of the casino or online service’s site is added.
