			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>Chances are when playing in a tournament you won’t be dealt many or any premium hands especially when you need them. The chance of being dealt a AA is 220:1, the same for any pocket pair, so for the top five or six starting hands you are looking at odds of 29:1 which are not exactly favorable.<a href="http://vincentfiore.com/wp-content/uploads/2007/12/chips.jpg" title="chips" rel="lightbox"><img src="http://vincentfiore.com/wp-content/uploads/2007/12/chips.thumbnail.jpg" alt="chips" align="right" border="1" hspace="5" vspace="6" /></a></p>
<p>Firstly watch your opponents.  Learn to look for those players who will fold at the first sign you might be holding a better hand.  If these players call your bluff you may have to give up the ghost.</p>
<p>Limit your bluffs to when there is not much other action.  Use your position on the button or small blind to steal the blinds.  If it is check/folded round to you this is an opportunity not to miss.</p>
<p>Use your stack to bluff with.  Push around smaller stacks by making big raises. Don’t go in with a bluff too often as it will be a little like the boy who cried wolf.  At the table your reputation is everything and you want a reputation for playing solid hands to be able to get away with bluffing.<a href="http://vincentfiore.com/wp-content/uploads/2007/12/joehachem.jpg" title="Joe Hachem winning big" rel="lightbox"><img src="http://vincentfiore.com/wp-content/uploads/2007/12/joehachem.thumbnail.jpg" vpsace="5" alt="Joe Hachem winning big" align="left" border="1" hspace="6" /></a></p>
<p>Don’t always make a full bluff.  When you bluff sometimes it is wise to have at least a mediocre hand to back you up.  Especially if it can turn into a monster.  Remember from time to time those two high cards will be enough to take the pot.</p>
