Playing Poker by Daniel Negreanu : Try playing more hands in smaller pots
There are a couple of methods to amass a big stack in tournament poker. One way is to try pushing small edges before the flop by playing coin-flip situations, like a pair versus two overcards, or vice versa. The problem is that this approach is far too inconsistent. You’ll need lots of luck to get your side of the coin to repeatedly flip in your favor.
