Hey, guys! My name's Ignas and I'm a student from Lithuania, just got 20 years young. I've been playing poker occasionally for the last few years and haven't really gotten in-depth strategy, information about the game. Just not that long ago I received a very unexpected gift from a girlfriend, Lou Krieger's book, and started gathering info, all tips I can get about the game because the game started to grow on me. Just few days ago I was still in the place where I lose everything I win, but i started using smart bankroll management and things started to look better in my bank balance in PartyPoker and PokerStars. (For that I have to thank this site) The economy in my country is on hardcore mode and it's really hard to find a good-paying job even to live through a month, so I really hope that in a period of time, I could learn not to only lose in poker, but to invest in bigger earnings.
Came here to learn all I can about poker, even though some important and general things (for example calculating odds & outs) are still difficult for me to get used to, understand or use in practice. Hope to learn everything little by little and become a great poker player, because this game is becoming a passion for me.
I like playing tournaments, yet all info I find on the internet is for Cash Games (the fold-fold-fold strategy), so if there's any way you could help me - please, don't be shy!
Thank you for taking your time to read this. :)

Hello Ignas

Welcome on the PokerStrategy forum :welcome:

There is a lot of information to find about tournaments. I think you can start with the https://forums.pokerstrategy.com/forum/thread.php?threadid=314586&page=1 and than you have the basics right.

Also you can always post hands that you are not sure about in our Hand discussions for Tournaments board and then you get feedback on how you could play a hand better.
If you don’t know how to post a hand the appropriate way you can always check the https://forums.pokerstrategy.com/forum/thread.php?threadid=267242 thread.

If you have in the meanwhile some questions about it doesn’t hesitate to ask it and I wish you a pleasant stay on our forum.

Best regards,
SDK1987
