Mastering Tournament Push/Fold

Push/fold poker is a critical skill for tournament players. When your stack drops below 15-20 big blinds, traditional open-raising loses effectiveness, and you need to switch to a push/fold strategy.

ICM adds another layer of complexity. Near the bubble or at final tables, your tournament life has extra value. Sometimes folding a hand you'd normally push is correct because busting is so costly. This trainer helps you internalize these concepts through practice.
