Poker Tournament Survival
Accumulation and survival in tournaments
 Tournament poker has become
increasingly popular over the years due to television shows like the World Poker Tour and ESPN's coverage of the World Series of Poker.
Tournaments are often where you will find many of poker's fresh faces due to the lure of big money at the end of the road. When
then-amateur player Chris Moneymaker won the 2003 WSOP Main Event, tournament rooms around the world became flooded with new players who
had realized that anyone could win "the big one."
New players often see tournaments as the easiest and best way to make a big score, while experienced players know that being a great
tournament poker takes a lot of time, work, and dedication. Of course, there are players who have won a million dollars just by getting
lucky, but the players who remain at the top of the tournament leader boards do so because they have spent countless hours perfecting
their skills. Many new players who have hit a big score make the mistake of thinking that tournaments are easy, while this couldn't
be further from the truth. Because winning a tournament requires a great deal of luck (especially for amateur players), first place titles
are not easy to come by. However, the more skills you acquire, the less you will have to rely on the cards to go deep in a tournament.
Constantly learning and applying poker tournament strategy is essential to becoming great.
