Small-Stakes Multi-Table Online Tournaments
小额多桌比赛
Every major online site runs some of these tournaments each day. In the case of the major

sites, there may be dozens of such events every day. Entry fees range from $1 to $30.

(Larger entry fees than this go in a separate category, as they will start to attract the

pros.) The number of players could be as high as several thousand. Your buy-in will get you

$1,000 to $1,500 in tournament chips, and the blinds will start in the $5/$10 or $10/$20

area. The blinds will increase rapidly, however, as the rounds will typiCALLy be very short:

perhaps 5, 10, or 12 minutes each, allowing only 8-to-12 hands per round.
每个扑克室每天都会有几个这样的比赛。在几个主流大站中，更是多达几十个。买入从1$到30$不等。人

数可能多达几千人。你的买入会获得1000-1500筹码，盲注开始于5/10或者10/20。盲注上涨很快，每5，

10，或12分钟上涨一次，每轮只会有8到12手。
These tournaments OBviously involve much more luck than the slower live events. The

combination of the large number of inexperienced players, short rounds, and rapidly-

increasing blind structure means that you're compelled to play quickly and aggressively just

to stay ahead of the blinds. However, there's still plenty of scope for strategy, and a

skilled player can do much better than average. Here are a few tips.
这些比赛很明显具有更多的运气成分。非专业选手，快速上涨的盲注，意味着你必需快速，凶狠，这样才

不会被盲注逼死。然而，还是会有一些策略和技巧，如果掌握了，可以比别人做的更好。以下是一些要点

：
1. Don't plan on being able to use your powers of observation very much. Players will

constantly be moving all their chips in and getting knocked out, so tables don't stay

together long enough to get solid information on the other players. Most of your hands will

need to be evaluated in a vacuum.
1.不要计划用太多时间去观察别人。选手们经常会all-in,然后出局。所以获取其他选手的信息没什么价

值。大部分牌你不能靠阅读对手。（译者个人理解：有很多大比赛选手根据对手的情况来行动，然而这种

小额比赛，主要还是靠自己手中的牌来进行。）
2. Don't plan on running any bluffs. Players are extremely aggressive; they're looking to

double up quickly, and they don't need much to call. You'll see plenty of all-in showdowns

where a pair of fours butts up against an ace-six offsuit. The bottom line: Your shrewd,

well-considered bluff to steal the pot will probably be answered by a big reraise followed

by an all-in! Don't bother. Just make sure you have a hand when you get a lot of chips in

the pot. (Interestingly, although bluffs don't work in these games, you'll still see plenty

of bluffs tried.)
2.不要进行任何bluff。选手们都很凶狠，他们期望快速筹码翻倍，所以只要有点牌就会call。你会看到

很多all-in,是一对4让A6o出局。经常会出现：CPC锫耄?丛庥鼍薮蟮膔eraise，后面还有人all-in!所

以有牌的时候，才可以将很多筹码进入pot。（有趣的是，虽然在这种比赛中bluff没用，你还是会看到很

多bluff）
3. Betting patterns are very different from normal poker. At least in the early stages of

these tournaments, there's very little actual value betting. Slow-playing, trapping, and

all-in bets predominate. A solid value bet, for instance, is almost always paid off,

sometimes with a big reraise.
3.扑士们的下注方式迥异。至少在比赛早期，很少有真正的value bet。slow-play,引诱对方，以及all-

in都很常见。所以坚实的value bet，几乎总是会有人call，有时会有人reraise很多。
4. Crowded pots. Before the FLOP, the pot may be crowded with five to seven limpers. A

significant raise after several players have limped in won't thin the field; it will only

function as a pot-sweetner.
4.拥挤的pots。在flop之前，会有5-7个limper。如果有人raise，也不会让人减少。
5. Optimal strategy. With so many players playing so aggressively, a conservative strategy

ought to pay big dividends, since strong hands rate to get paid very well. If the blinds

were increasing slowly, and the rounds were longer, this would certainly be true. But with

short rounds and sharp blind increases, a strictly conservative approach won't yield results

fast enough to keep your stack from shrinking as the blinds come charging. While you should

be generally conservative, you have to mix in two other ideas:
5.可选的策略。因为很多的选手都如此凶狠，所以如果保守一点，应该会有好处。好牌会有很大的收获。

如果盲注上涨比较慢，的确如此。但是盲注上涨比较快，所以太保守了会死于盲注。当你比较保守的时候

，你要混合以下方式：
A. In late position, try to see some cheap flops with suited-connectors or small pairs, in

the hope of flopping a monster that could let you double up. The large number of players in

each pot makes your implied odds huge when you hit a set, straight, or a flush.
A.在偏后位置，用同花连号的牌或者小对看一些便宜的flop(即limp in或者call small raise)。如果

flop让你成了大牌，就能有巨大的收获。
B. Push your good hands (top pairs, trips) to the maximum, again with the hope of doubling

up. You're much more likely to be called all-in than in a normal tournament. Remember that

even your weaker top pair hands, like nines and eights, go up in value while high unpaired

cards go down in value.
B.将你的好牌（top pair,三条）下注最大，希望筹码能翻倍。在这种比赛中，很可能有人call你。即使

是一对9，或者一对8，都可能会有巨大的收获。
