Surviving a poker tournament?

Caribbean Stud
E asked:


This is the first time I’m going to a Caribbean Stud Poker tournament.

Each player will be given $5000 non-negotiable chips in the preliminary stage, which (from what I heard) has 16 or 15 rounds. I calculated that I have about $300 per round ($100 ante, $200 bet) - but almost everyone will be doing the same thing. Is there a better way?

Because obviously, if I don’t win enough, I won’t qualify for the quarter finals. When do I increase my bet to catch up? What can I do if I’m doing poorly for a few rounds?
da_hal,

I don’t think it’s lame. I love Caribbean Stud Poker. :P

Anybody heard of a site called Love That Poker?

Apparently ALL of the games are free. The ring/cash games and sit-n-go’s are the equivalent of play money tables, but you can use the points to enter daily $50 freerolls, qualify for weekly $500 freerolls or monthly $5000 freerolls. They don’t ask for a credit card, registration is simply giving a sign-in name and a password, and there’s no download. Only drawbacks I see so far is I don’t know exactly how the payout system works, as I’ve only been on there a day and haven’t made any money yet, and the traffic is very low so the game selection is limited (there are usually only 2 7 card stud tables and 2 Omaha tables going, maybe 5-10 Texas Hold Em tables, only half of which are no limit, and sit-n-go’s take about 15 minutes to round up 6 players). Other than that, there’s no catch that I’m aware of. If you’ve heard anything about this site, let me know.
Also, if the site sounds interesting to you, I’d appreciate it if you could access it through this link (It’s a referral program):

Like I said, I’ve played on there, and it costs absolutely zero, and they haven’t asked me for any credit card or bank info. If nothing else, it’s good practice (although most people on there are donks). Thanks a bunch.
I neglected to mention, if you use the link, they say they will deposit $10 (real money) into your account. Don’t know if that’s true or not, but if you do use the link, let me know if they are true to their claim.
I don’t know how to cash out your winnings, like I said, i’ve only been there a day so far (but I almost won some money), so I haven’t cashed out yet.
If you check “My Referrals” it tells you how to refer friends. Thanks for clicking the link!
