Have a healthy and watchful respect for strong-tight players who are rarely in hands, particularly if they play hand out of position. If a player like this raises in early position you should fold all those marginal hands, and small pairs as well.

When weak players have entered pot, you should be happy to call and take flops with them provided you can do this inexpensively. Slow playing big hands has a higher expected value in No-Limit than it does in Limit games where it is rarely right way to play. That being said, it is a skill that takes a lifetime to master, and can easily backfire on you.

As blinds increase in tournament play you must be flexible with your evaluation of starting hands as you have to keep your chip stack well ahead of pace set by blinds. In tournament play you cannot wait for perfect starting hand, and frequently you need to make your own luck. Be selectively aggressive, especially in later stages of tournament. Initially you should be tight at least until you have a good read on some of opponents at your table. Try to avoid coin-flip scenarios where all your chips are at stake. This happens all time in online tournaments where players feel comfortable going all-in on AK and equally comfortable calling that hand with any pocket pair.

The winners of tournaments at all levels are usually those players who pace themselves early on, make a move in middle stages of event, and then start all over again at final table by once again playing strong-tight.

Deciding The Right Spot for Your Display

Not sure where to put your display? No problem! Almost any place is better than basement or your closet. Many people decide dining room is best place for their display. This is very much case if you have China or other fine or delicate items to display. The den or game room however, may be a better selection if you plan to display your favorite sports memorabilia. Likewise, living room may be a good place to show off your favorite rifle collection or swords. Truly, where you set your display depends on how many people you plan to show it off to.

In some cases, your kitchen or bedroom may even be right place for a display. If you plan on displaying some cherished wards or other private mementos, you may decide you prefer to have them by your bedside. The key here is to think about where you want your display before you go and buy one. This will help you decide right size, style and shape for your display. You can then select style you want to match room you plan to show your items off in.

You can literally throw a display making party. Get out all objects you want to show off, then have friend's help you pick out just right display. You can then have them over again to set up your cherished display case!

Remember, setting up a display case doesn't have to take a lot of time and energy. It can be fun and exciting. You'll pat yourself on back for a job well done once you are through.
