Session 12: Money Considerations

Assuming you've got fully absorbed the content from the primary 11 sessions of the course, the 12th and final session can be tremendously important and can ultimately decide how big of a bankroll you'll build.

The difference between a min-cash and a top-three finish could make or break your year, that is why the cash Considerations session is so vital in your game. Knowing when to get aggressive and when to pump to the brakes will help you move up the pay ladder while simultaneously keeping you in contention for the win.

The first video within the session touches on whilst you should stop accumulating chips and while you should start specializing in tournament survival. In general, when you've got over 50 big blinds, try to be playing to acquire more chips. In case you have less, then your goal is to stay within the tournament. Of course, your overall strategy must be flexible as your tables break and become short-handed, and also you face new opponents.

“When we play in poker tournaments our strategy and our goal is to optimize our profitability,” said Fuller. “But that’s not always the goal for everybody. LOTS OF PEOPLE play tournaments with different objectives in mind. Maybe they only need to make it through day 1. So that they are going to make non-optimal decisions inside the tournament as a way to cause them to accomplishing their objective. You ought to be conscious about these other players so that you can adjust your play against them.”

The session continues by specializing in both deep and short stack strategies for bubble play, play after the money bubble bursts and within the late stages of the tournament in the course of the final table.

One tournament skill that the course doesn’t turn away from is deal making and the way to navigate a negotiation when there’s money up for grabs. The video shows why deals are made or even touches on ICM (Independent Chip Model) deals. The session and course finally end up with monetary considerations, a discussion that specializes in variance and the way to correctly manage your bankroll.
