I must admit that I am not a great success at playing cards, but I do enjoy the game. I usually play the free games. Given my skill level (or lack of skill level), it would be foolish to bet much money. In a large tournament should you be aggressive early and bet most hands or wait for the "killer" hand. Please help me with some winning suggestions. For this discussion I should probably change my name to "fish".

This is my strategy: Make the other players confused on what I am doing. Lets say I have a two of spades and a three of spades in my hand. I will bet extremely high. When the first three cards are dealt, I will bet extremely low or just check. Then when someone raises, I will bet extremely high again. On the fourth card, I will be extremely high. On the river, I will bet extremely low or check. You just go to keep them guessing.
