sometimes i see a lot of pair will win at early stage...but when i stay with my pair i got beat... but after i fold someone will win with pair.. How i gonna read the others card.. big or small... should i stay or fold??

what happen if i got king and 2? what should i do??

also what happen if i got one big card such J,Q,K or A and the other card is 2,3,4 or 5??

Offcourse good players will change their way to play in big tourneys but no need to start thinking too much

The best advice I can give would be to fold any hands that are not pairs and hands that both cards are not 8 or above

See how you get on with that

Thank you with that tips..i actually read the tips... but when in tourney it always give combination of big and small....

that the most reason i lost... i fold a lot like u say play if feel secure and it about 1 play in 5 hand games.. still i lost.. maybe i need more experience and more tourney so i can be more better..

There are big pairs and small pairs. Anything below 77 is a small pair. Anything above 10 10 is a very high pair. You rarely win with a small pair.

A,K,Q,J with 2,3,4,5 is a high card with a low kicker... Not a very good hand !!! If you have a high card, your second card should be at least 8 or 9. You'll have a reasonable kicker and a reasonable chance to win.

Learn to fold early when you know another player is having a good hand (for example, when he is systematically raising or betting high).

Tournaments are about patience and not being the one with the smallest stack. You need to bluff or semi-bluff with a good hand to get out of this position. If you only play good hands and be patient, you will see that other players will kill others players for you. They will often do the job until you get in the money.

It is hard to kick out good players (or reasonable players) while the blinds are small. Be patient and wait until they rise. This is sometimes very very boring.

Last, if you have a very good hand, bet aggressively: raise at preflop, go all-in by the flop or the turn... to make a lot of money. Then wait on your high stack and be patient.

If you have a good hand, raise on players with short stacks, they react badly under pressure (they fold too easily or go all-in while they should not).
