subject: Your Poker Chip Stack Is Getting Short In The Poker Tournament – What Should You Do? [print this page] Why not give yourself a decent shot at doubling up. If you play the all-in with two cards that you are less likely to be called with, you'll have two live cards, possibly doubling your chance of doubling up your poker chip stack. You only have a few hands left to make your stand. When you get two cards, it's nice if they are suited or connected, but the main thing is that they are both live cards. A 7 and a 9, a suited 6 and 4, these are the type of hands least likely to be dominated. Let's face it, at this point you are desperate, and you're going to need some good luck in any play to stay in the game. When making you all-in last stand, pick the hole cards you'll least likely to be called with. Most poker players won't call your all-in with a 6 9 off suit, they'll call with the weak Ace or two face cards. Yes you're still a slight underdog, but you'll have two live cards, not just one, to try to get lucky with. Poker has a lot of luck to it, but if you use a solid strategy you can better put yourself in a position to get lucky. That what wins poker tournaments and cash games as well. Put yourself in a position to increase your odds of getting that little bit of luck you so desperately need.
