There's a double stack tournament going down on Thursday with Absolute Poker.
Absolute Poker have an evening tournament on Thursday night that features a $10,000 guaranteed prize pool.
The $60 + $6 freezeout starts at 8pm ET and the No Limit Texas hold'em event will start at that time. The tournament features a double stack of chips which means you will have 5000 chips in your stack as soon as the tournament starts.
Tournaments with double stacks help out patient players as there is no pressure from the blinds, at least in the early going. Throw away your crummy hole cards as you don't have to get cute in the early going of deep stack tournaments. Instead make your play with overpairs or with flopped top pairs and high kickers.
Get your money in with an 80% to 20% lead and hope that the poker gods aren't frowning on you.
