n1bet app to keep track of tournaments and set limit warnings on the fly. Choosing a responsible app that integrates session timers helps you avoid tilt, which I’ll address in the mistakes section. This recommendation leads to broader safety resources below.

Another practical suggestion is to keep a small tracking sheet (even a phone note) of buy-ins, rebuys and cashes for a month; that habit reduces confirmation bias and helps you detect losing stretches earlier and set limits before trouble compounds.

## Common Mistakes and How to Avoid Them
– Mistake: Ignoring ICM near bubble. Fix: learn basic ICM charts for push/fold spots and use them during late stages. This reduces foolish all-ins and preserves equity for deeper runs.
– Mistake: Underestimating rebuys/add-ons outlay. Fix: calculate expected spend before registering — set a hard cap. That cap prevents runaway losses.
– Mistake: Playing turbos without adjusted bankroll. Fix: increase buy-in pool size or switch to slower formats. This lowers variance and stabilises your results.
Each fix invites the final section with helplines and responsible gambling tips.

## Responsible gambling (Australian resources & practical measures)
Hold on — if poker stops being fun, pause immediately. Set session/ loss limits on your account before you play and use time locks if you need to step back. If you live in Australia and need support, contact:
– Gambling Help Online (1800 858 858 or via chat) — free, confidential counselling; and
– Your state-based helpline (e.g., Victoria, NSW, QLD counsellors) — available 24/7 via the Gambling Help directory.
If you’re using apps, make sure the operator offers quick self-exclusion and deposit-block tools; many licensed operators (and major offshore sites that provide responsible play features) include these in their app settings, and you can also set device-level app timers to enforce breaks. The responsible measures above segue into the mini-FAQ for common newbie questions.

## Mini-FAQ
Q: How many buy-ins should a beginner keep for tournaments?
A: Aim for 100 buy-ins for freezeouts, 150–200 for turbos or rebuy-heavy fields; that protects against variance and helps you make rational decisions under pressure.

Q: When do I use ICM vs chip EV strategy?
A: Use chip EV (maximising chips) in deep stack early phases; switch to ICM-aware play near the money bubble when tournament equity converts to cash value.

Q: Are bounties worth chasing?
A: Sometimes — if the bounty value materially increases your immediate EV. Model it as instant cash plus remaining prize equity and avoid overcalling marginal hands purely for bounties.

Q: What’s the single best habit to improve my tournament ROI?
A: Track your buy-ins, rebuys and cashes for 90 days and review patterns; discipline and post-session analysis beat hero calls.

## Final practical notes and two tiny personal tips (short)
My gut says: keep a simple journal of hands and emotions — that beat-by-beat record helps you spot tilt triggers. Practically, schedule at least one free day per week off play. These habits reduce impulsive rebuys and improve long-term learning, and they naturally lead you to use app-level limits and support resources like the link above for managing sessions in real time via the operator’s official mobile offering such as the n1bet app. That last bit closes the loop between tools, habits and safety.
