At the WSOP Main Event, the chip leader after the first day has NEVER won the event. Now who knows how they played or if they all suffered tremendous bad beats, but sometimes while playing situs poker online (qqidnpoker.Id) you'll wonder how someone can lose a massive chip lead or perhaps you're guilty of such a crime.

It happens, sometimes undeservedly or sometimes just because someone was playing plain dumb.   Tightening up is a safe way to make it through tournaments. You don't have to turn right into a stone, however when you have the big chip stack, it's always smart to start playing a little tighter.

On the flip side if you are the low stack, it's probably a good idea to shrink as well, and prevent playing your low connecting cards or cards that won't give you a monster. You're often pretty much in "All-in or fold mode" if you're the reduced stack.

Securing usually concerns tournament games but when you have lost a large portion of your bankroll in cash games then it would probably be a very good time to tighten and get some good for sure victories. Waiting on the "Nuts" can be extremely boring and tiring but sometimes it's the smartest thing to do. On the other hand, if you've won a lot of money in cash games already it could probably be a great time to play as many hands as possible to win some big pots.  

Don't misquote the pro's once they say "I come to win and take first, not to play for second, " no player ever won a large tournament with hundreds of players in the field with out a little bit of securing. A good rule for yourself is to promise yourself that you'll avoid venturing out on top pair at all costs.

More players go out thinking they've the best hand with top pair than anything else. The bottom line is, if you feel any doubt that you don't have the very best hand, then you should fold before you get yourself right into a very bad situation.   There is really no indicate playing risky hands when you have the chip lead. It may help you sure, but it could hurt you a lot worse.

When your playing tight you really do not wish to be playing cards like King/Nine or Queen/Eight and definitely not Ace/five or any such thing worse than Ace/Ten. You're usually dominated if you have cards like this and playing these cards put you at a very high risk of losing a lot of your chip stack.   You have all the time in the world. Just settle-back, relax and revel in the poker ride.

If you are tightening up, you ought to really only play in hands where you have good position too. Being on the button or close to last to act is always a very important thing and playing low connecting cards is always a very important thing when you are on the button, even if you are tightening up, just as long as you need not pay to high of a price to participate.
