Most online players will be used to just playing cash games. In these games they win as much as they can, and then logout. Tournament play is a completely different animal and requires a different approach then cash games.

There is more than one way to skin a cat, and there is more than one way to make money playing tournament poker as well. Is there more than one way to win tournament poker, though?

One of the most exciting aspects of championship poker in the last few years is the "everyman factor," the fact that the game really could be won by anyone. There was a time that the barrier to entry to big time events (and thus, big time money) was pretty high, events like the World Series of Poker costing thousands to join, even ten thousand for the main event. Now that qualifiers are so prevalent, the question becomes, "how do I make the most of them?"
