How to win a poker tournament

I read this today and whilst some of this brief guide (well bullet points really) may well be obvious its always good to keep a note and remind ourselves from time to time when things get rough or you get frustrated.

How to win a poker tournament:

You must run good:
-: Getting paid with your big hands.
-: Winning your coinflips
-: Avoid getting coolered for all your chips.

You usually need to get lucky:
-: When you semi-bluff with a big draw, your opponent needs to fold or you need to make your hand.
-: You will probably need to suckout at least once for most if not all of your chips.

You must play good:
-: Being aware of stack sizes.
-: making good preflop and postflop decisions.
-: you have to pick your spots well (know thy image)

You need to play for the win:
-: Getting aggressive when your opponents tighten up (money bubble, final table bubble, etc)
-: You have to play well shorthanded when the big money is on the line.
-: You need to understand Independent Chip Model and when to gamble.

I always try to avoid coin flips. i try to make sure i dont push all in pre-flop unless i have k's A's

You cant always wait for A's and K's. Ive played many tourneys where I didnt get either. You have to play the players and not so much your cards.

Great tips. I'll try to do this!

Playing aggressive will definitely get you further in a tourney almost every time.
Cards are fine and if you get a good hand then consider it a bonus but more likely then not sometimes that A K won't hit then what are you gonna do😟
I just got eliminated from a tourney early for playing weak. Maybe it might work for some but ultimately for me always make the best of what you have.
