Players that play in tournaments set aside a certain amount of time hoping to make it all the way.

There are those that play faster than others and those that play less and play more.

It is important to watch your opponents and to play the cards as well as the players and it is also important to have fun! If you have never tried a tournament it is a good idea to play in a few smaller tourneys or even some play money ones so that you get a feel for it before playing in a bigger game!
