I found out that the tourney i play at, doesnt keep the blinds same for as long as i thought. They raise them every 15 minutes.
Starting at like
5-10
reaching up to
something really high.

How do you play a tournament like this when you DONT GET CARDS AND YOUR OPPONENTS DO.

This is what was happening to me, the blinds were raising, i couldnt get a hand, and i couldnt bluff a hand(opponents had monsters)

What is a poker player to do against these people, most just average players.

I think someone here said, (and I agree) when the blinds raise too quickly, or start too high, the tournament depends a lot more on luck than skill.

Get cards.
I don't know what they have to say
It makes no difference anyway.
Whatever it is...
I'm against it.

I'm all about sharing. You can keep it.

Let me elaborate my answer.

You are in a tournament with beginners / intermediates who will call you down with anything, so bluffing is out.
You have the blinds increase pretty rapidly so camping is out.
And you find that a lot of people at the table have monster hands that they push too hard, but still get callers, so chasing is out.

This is what I am understanding. If this is all true, you don't have a lot of options. Chase what you can, cheaply. Push what you have, when / if you have it. Pray that you get good cards.
I don't know what they have to say
It makes no difference anyway.
Whatever it is...
I'm against it.
