How to dominate a small time poker tournament.?
I am pretty experienced, just want to know if anyone has any tips or strategy they use to dominate a 2 table poker tournament or anything in that nature.

Pretty much the way to dominate a small time poker table is this you have a 50/50 chance at this though which it is not a big deal if youre playing online with play money but just go all in on the very first hand that you have it is not likely that many will go all in with you but a couple will and if you just happen to have a higher hand then you start off with a pretty big lead

Stupped answer from Darrell T.
In the early stages be very selective and get a feel for the other players. the closer your getting to the money the more aggressive you should be.

There are 3 stages to any poker tournament
Early, Middle and Final Table
Early stage
In a two tabled tournament i like to play very selective in the Early so only pocket Jacks or better. This way by the time you reach the middle stage majority of the fish and calling stations looking to get lucky on the river will be gone. Play aggressive when you do get the cards you have been waiting for. dont get sucked out on. dont bluff unless you have a read on someone
Middle stage
Middle stage to me is around when there are 10 players left
Around here i would adopt the black jack rule where i only play cards that add up to 19, 20 or 21. of course there are exceptions like pockets and suited connectors
Final Table.
I switch to final table play at the Final 6 people
hopefully playing tight has generated you a decent stack. This is where you can loosen up your game and hope to steal some blinds which should be nice and high by now
the reason you can loosen up now is because majority of the people playing will be looking at first place drooling and will play tight
