Calling all small turny experts

[highonbetter]

I have a few questions..

How do you play a small 40-50 player turny, where most players are average.Most are only there to have fun, a superbowl type hold um turny. where the buy in is about 50$ ?
And the final table doesnt all cash, maybe a top 6 payout.
Do you go in this Balls out ?
Describe how you play this style of turny

Play tight early, when the blinds are low a lot of people will play any and all hands. When people start to bust and the blinds get bigger, this is when you should start to get a little bit more aggressive.

Your conditions "most are only there only to have fun" and "$50 buy-in" do not jibe with "most players are average." The first two conditions will likely mean most players are well below average. From what I've seen in my admittedly limited B&M experience, those types of tourneys are rich with passive, calling types. Play accordingly.

Great advice, Thank you. Ive played in this type style before and made it to the final table,but extreme short stack'
And usually go out to a guy with a buzz saying yea i call whatever he got. I have 77 and he flips over A-8 off and spikes a pair. ( i need ammo early

I never write back to any of you .after i make post. but since you all helped me out so much i wanted to tell you how my nite went.

I was totally card dead in the turny. my best hand was a pair of 5's.
i went out early ,but i ended up cleaning house in dealers choice .i won over 200$.
i spent 75$ trying to win 2 flat screen tvs. but no luck. of course 1 guy won both tvs
i did win a gift card good for a pizza place 45 miles away from me. Lol
All in all i wasnt dizzy .i felt great and had energy. so id say i had a great time

I would comment on this, or laugh at it, but Romanian Shark would send an angry PM that I'm picking on him.
