Who agrees with Jason Pohl?

[ QUOTE ] The two main differences between full and 5-person games are known to most advanced players, even if they are not fully understood. First, the relative value of big offsuited cards goes up, and the relative value of drawing hands go down. Second, the blind structure forces more action. Blinds come too often, and a good player cannot just wait for a premium holding. [/ QUOTE ] Am I the only one who has serious problems accepting Jason's second statement? |

Re: Who agrees with Jason Pohl?
Would you play a hand differently with the rationale: "Im BB in 3 hands"?

Re: Who agrees with Jason Pohl?
So you think its a viable strategy to play the same number of hands in a short game as you would in a full game?

You're missing my point completely. I'll let others comment before I give you my point of view.

[/ QUOTE ] depends on what u define as premium. If you think 59s is premium (like me) u really dont have to wait for that many hands to find something playable. If you think ATs is borderline premium then I think u need to play non premium hands. |

Re: Who agrees with Jason Pohl?
I would agree with it, it costs more to play than usual, so you're probably going to be playing more hands to maximize your profit.

Re: Who agrees with Jason Pohl?
What Pohl means by 'Blinds come more often' is that in for instance 10/20 you are paying 1.5 BB every 5 or 6 hands instead of every 10 hands. If you play the same cards at both structures you are obiously going to make less or lose more because of the additional cost.
An extreme example would be if you are playing HU. Are you still going to wait for the same cards you play 10 handed. If so lets go right now. You're starters have to be on a sliding scale depending on how many are at the table. |
