What's the ideal # of big blinds to be "in-game?"

[eqgh5uea]

depends on the attitude of other players at the table, and your style of play for every hand

Thx.

i use to call with every ok hand when blinds are 30 and me 1500 so i can just outplay these instead of doubling up with all in and then when the blinds get bigger i play tighter

Thanks. I wish there was a program to tell you how much chips you SHOULD have in accordance to how many plrs are there, play styles, etc,.

I figure in a 2k plr tourney to get to the -50 mark, you should at LEAST have a goal of 20k chips.

10 bb is the time to push it up. Position and table read is more important til you hit the money line.

It's not in the poker books, but i played a lot of turbo SnG and they give you a different view of blinds.

Freerolls and micro level games, there is no reason to get aggressive here. At the low levels, conservative play, and then betting big hands for value is almost always the right move. With 41 big blinds, I am waiting on the best of hands and/or position here.

Thanks for the insight!!!

So position is important in the long run?? Then when I hit the 'money line???'

well you chip stack and your position is always going to determine how you play a hand even if its aces for example if your early to act usually a smooth call is not a good move cause your sure to get a few limpers and an almost guarantee of a two pair on the flop (so you play fast and big not nessicarily a shove but put their roll on the line as well). And in late position if everyone folds to you a smooth call can be the best option here to make sure 3 to a flush or straight dont show up on the board or even maybe get lucky and pull a set and slow roll em. But position is more basic strategy not so much to do with your bankroll but on short stack bigger hands are usually always push hands and pray. and smaller hands are surefire quick mucks and by smaller hands i mean starting hands like k-10 (it is a weak starting hand especially in the top 50 of a 5000 player tny) so only play larger strting hands aq ak or large pocketpairs 9-9 and higher.
