i know noone really concentrates on UB STT's, but have a look:


what do you think??? is this a call on the 2nd hand of the tourney? easy fold for me. i know i'm being results oriented, but in the long run is this an easy call?

Pretty terrible fold, IMO. I call any two there, and I don't think it's close.

jesus. i never thought of that. do you really think in the long run it's worth it? i know you're a great STT player so i respect your thoughts, but don't u think it might be foolish? every chip is precious.

Me? A great SNG player? I wouldn't go that far. /images/graemlins/wink.gif

Anyways, I haven't played in at least a couple weeks (shown by my lack of posting here), so I could be wrong. But considering you're quite sure that the EP limpers will call a min-raise here, the pot odds are just too good. Personally, I call any two.

I'd also like to point out that in a Party SNG, this may be different. In a deep-stacked SNG (such as UB or Stars), this is much more clear, IMO.
