I am not particularly good at poker and I still did it in only two or three tournaments. Here’s what I did:
- It’s only really worth attempting it when all but one other player has busted out / folded. Folded is less likely, of course, but it is how I did it. This decreases the odds of someone that isn’t you having a good hand.
- The other players sometimes give tells that they’re bluffing... supposedly. Supposedly buying them drinks increases the frequency. I still haven’t figured them out, myself.
- Fold way more often than you normally would.
- Fold if there’s going to be a pair.
- Fold unless you have a Jack or higher. It’s just not likely to happen otherwise. (Then again, there aren’t a whole lot of hands in the game without jack or higher that you should want to play anyway.)
- Don’t feel obligated to win. For the most part, you don’t have to play a good hand if you don’t want to. And you will want to play some iffy hands in the attempt.
- Don’t feel obligated to lose, though.
- Don’t run up the bet unless you have to. That’s not a hard rule; it just saves time because it keeps you in the game longer with that one other player.
Though, you could just play normally for a long time and it will probably happen eventually. Well, unless you’re playing Omaha.
