I've loved lurking on this forum for a few months now and wanted to wade in a bit - I think most of the people posting here are extremely good players, and generous with analysis and advice - I've even gone so far as noting the names of posters and trying to avoid them at tables online!
New to online poker, but trying to learn quickly...Been playing 1-2 ring games on party, as well as the 10/1 buy in NL hold 'em SNGs. Placing in the money 36% of the time (23/64), but only 4 first place finishes...getting into money (when i do finish in top 3) shortstacked most of the time.
PArty SNG NL hold 'em
Level 3 - blinds 25/50, 8 players left, I am large stack at 1670. dealt 3 /images/graemlins/spade.gif 4 /images/graemlins/diamond.gif in the BB. 4 callers to me, i check my option. pot has 250.
flop: 3 /images/graemlins/diamond.gif 7 /images/graemlins/club.gif 6 /images/graemlins/diamond.gif
Sb checks, I check, EP player to my left bets 50 gets one caller. Easy fold here? (i fear I may be displaying my ignorance, but hopefully it will decrease in stages!)
thanks in advance.
