⚜️ Cash Game Players’ Tournament
Stack Depth Mistakes ⚜️

Cash game players often struggle in tournaments for one clear reason:

They play short and medium tournament stacks like deep cash game stacks.

At 100BB, a player has room to maneuver.
At 30BB, every aggressive action changes the entire hand.

That is why tournament poker requires instance tree mapping — the habit of thinking through the full decision tree before making the first major move.

Key questions:

If I 3-bet and villain shoves, what is my response?
If I call and SPR is low, what is my postflop plan?
If I bet large, am I accidentally committing myself?
If I am near a bubble or pay jump, does ICM change the call?
