In just over a week’s time, PokerListings will be holding an exclusive online poker tournament on operating giant 888poker’s client, allowing you to play on some fantastic poker software and call yourself a PokerListings Champion.

When Is the PokerListings 888poker Tournament Happening?

Happening on February 25 at 20:00 CET, you can get involved in a fantastic structure with the chips flying all over the online felt.

We are holding this event in the 6-max format, which is renowned for driving more action with less players at the table – if you are going to scoop the prize at the end, you are going to have to widen your opening ranges and not be afraid to build up some pots.

Each player will start with 3,000 chips, and there will be rebuy and add-ons available for those who bust early or want to play a bit deeper. The add-on will net you an extra 5,000 chips, giving you plenty of maneuverability during the early stages of the tournament.

Late registration will be available for 90 minutes, giving players who enjoy playing a push-or-fold strategy the ability to dive in late and double up if they choose. Rebuys and add-ons are capped at two per player, so pick wisely when you decide to put your tournament life on the line!

The total buy-in is $10, with the add-on also being $10 – the most intelligent move would be to reg early and buy the add-on, giving you a mountain of chips early and the ability to push around the shorties.

Either way, we hope to see you there in just over a week’s time – save the date on your poker schedule!

How to Adjust in a 6-Max Poker Tournament

  • Open Wider – Because the under-the-gun (UTG) is now the Low-Jack (LJ) position, you will need to adjust your preflop ranges. In a 9-handed tournament, you would be right to fold some hands like K9s or QTs, but in a 6-Max, these are great hands to open and get involved in pots.
  • Defend Your Blinds – Following the previous tip, you must defend your big-blind (BB) wider. Do not be scared by a UTG open, and protect your BB!
  • Have More 3-Bet Bluffs – When you play full-ring games, having playable hands might incentivize you to do more flatting in a late position, especially when you have a hand like AX-suited or a suited connector. In 6-Max, you should aim to take more pots down pre-flop and punish your opponents!
