($15) Turbo at Stars: 88 on the blind
Hand History is below. Basically, I was on the big blind with 88 against a couple limpers, early in the tourney. Blind is 30, I have T1200, two limpers, button makes it 120 to go, SB folds and it's...

Re: MTT Books
Sklansky's Tournament book has some of the more technical ideas in it. At least, it should give you some stuff to think about if you have experience of your own. I didn't find it very helpful when I...

Re: Big mistake or little one?
Yeah, I was a bit blinded by the two hearts, I think. I decided he was on a flush draw and consoled myself that he would probably also lay down A/weak kicker to an all-in raise, so I got busted when...

Re: Primetime Bump
I'd say you should start jamming it up preflop, try to open up the table. You might even start doing things like blind-raising to get people playing looser. It doesn't matter so much if you bust out,...

Big mistake or little one?
Here's the hand:
Late in a rebuy tourney about 90 left, 63 paid, blinds are 1k/2k with 100 ante. I have 30k left after posting SB. Big stack at the table is in the CO with 105k and limps. The...

Re: AJ and medium pairs in LP
Thanks. I have a hard time playing against limpers because I'm never sure when I should be pushing and when I should just let a hand go because people are in the pot.
Would AQo be a raising hand...

Re: AJ and medium pairs in LP
Ok, then I guess my question is the following:
AJo in CO with ~20-25xBB in your stack, far from the money. Two limpers from the first 5 positions, both with ~15-20xBB. Your image is slightly...

Re: AJ and medium pairs in LP
Well could you give an example of a fairly typical situation where it would go one way instead of another? If you have a tight image and have the limpers and blinds covered, does that make it a...

AJ and medium pairs in LP
What do you do with AJ and medium pairs like 88 or 99 in LP against a couple limpers?
I can see folding them or moving in if you are shorter stacked, but assuming you've got plenty of chips, are...

Re: of course you can go all-in
AK is clearly a made hand, not a drawing one. Which hand would you rather have, if you had to call all-in against an average player who raised to 3xBB from MP, AK or 55? What about AK vs 99? TT? You...

The add-on is always worth it, see the thread "to rebuy or not to rebuy?". I wonder if it is really worth it to take the instant rebuy, though. Obviously, in the tournaments with a rake, where you...

Push preflop?
About a half hour into a $15 Turbo on Paradise, I've voluntarily put money in the pot twice so far, once for a 3xBB UTG w/TT, which ended up winning a showdown. The other time when it was folded to...

Re: What would you do?
if you are going to call preflop, isn't this the exact type of flop you're hoping for? Definitely push in here and make flush draws incorrect to call you, then hope that someone with a king fails to...

Re: All-in or bet the pot?
Yeah, given the guy's previous call (which was all I had to go on about him), I thought that he would call me with just about anything if I bet the pot, but that he might lay down some of the weaker...

Re: final two tables - cold cards and a bully
I don't about it being a monster. Someone who is raising with too many hands could very well be limping with a big pair. I'd say that if there were two people with shorter stacks and one of them...

Re: Could you fold here?
I don't think there's any situation in which this deserves a fold. Calling and losing leaves you with more than 20xBB, so even if you were just off the money, you can lose here and fold into the...

Re: Strategy adjustment vs. lots of limpers
Well, I'm mainly talking about the early stages of 2-table SnGs at Stars, where you start with 1500 and blinds of 10/20 up through the blind being 50/100. During this period, I've seen a lot of...
