video poker tourneys

At a video poker seminar in Atlantic City a few year's ago, Bob Dancer said the most important thing in a tournament is speed. Play as fast as you possibly can and don't worry about misstakes.
   It probably is more luck for the 10 minute's or so they give you to play. And they change the paytables, so you don't know the strategy until you get there.

3. Once you are assigned a machine, if a blue haired little old lady
sits down beside you and asks, "Sonny, do you know what these buttons
are for", go ahead and kick her stool out from under her as these are
the people who usually win these things.

Hi Don,

Just a bit of advice should you be seated next to me during a
vp tourney. I am a dark-haired little old lady, who knows exactly,
for what purpose, the buttons are there. I also know how to push the
buttons of my tournament opponents, if they get too smart-mouthed.
Anyone who decides to kick my seat out from under me, had better be a
very fast runner!

Cheers,

Babe

This is only true for tournaments that either have unlimited credits, or that have a high credit limit and you are unlikely to be able to use up all the credits before time runs out.

Most tournaments that I've seen give you both a credit limit and a time limit, and often a rate of as low as 600 hands/hour can use up the credits. In this case, speed is not of the essence. You still want to use up all the credits, but don't play faster than you are comfortable with if you don't need to. You can figure out the rate of play that's needed before the tournament starts by looking at what the machines are set to.
