Been watching tournament odds shift lately and one thing stands out: early-stage value bets are often overlooked. When you see a dark horse player with decent chip momentum but longer odds, that’s where the edge hides. Check their recent hands for aggression patterns—tight players loosening up can signal a run. Don’t just chase favorites; odds tighten fast once they’re noticed.

Solid point about early-stage value bets! Dark horses with chip momentum are definitely worth a closer look, especially when the odds haven’t caught up to their potential. One trap to watch for with tournament bonuses, though, is the wagering requirements tied to betting on long shots. Some platforms push “free bets” or boosted odds for poker tournaments, but the fine print often locks you into high rollovers or restricts payouts on underdog wins. Always check if the bonus applies to your full stake and if it’s flexible across odds ranges. Sticking to your strategy without being swayed by flashy promos can keep you focused on those hidden edges you mentioned. Digging into recent hand histories for player patterns is a great call too—aggression shifts are a goldmine for spotting runs before the market adjusts.
