Can I sell my Step tourney entry?

[Marcotte]

Don't know Gigabet, never seen him play, and only read a few of his posts. However, I would wager a large % of my bankroll that you are

Why don't you collect all these ideas and post them in a separate thread? Or maybe one thread per new idea?

Mistaken,

I checked out his stats from the CO, the worst hand he played was QJ... and there are other stats that make me think you might be mistaken.

Of course I don't have access to data from successful steals, but thanks for the info... I'll keep it in mind. [img]/images/graemlins/smirk.gif[/img]

Your post is ambiguous. If you're saying my post is off-topic, I was responding to a question posed in this thread. If you're asking why don't I post the stuff in Harrington's book that would be useful for SnGs, I don't think that's a good use of my time.

Wow. That's funny. Yes, it was the latter. I think it would be a good learning exercise for everyone on the forum, but if you have better things to do then I guess we're out of luck.

Oh, and also this observation is only true when Gigabet is a big stack with equal to or less than about 6 people. If he is a large stack then, he likes to start playing very aggressive in order to achieve 1st place.
This is just what I noticed... maybe he mixes it up sometimes.

Thanks. If I make it to step 5, I'm going to try find out when Gigabet and adrtho sleep so I can schedule my first Step 5 try for a time when they'll both be unconscious. That should increase my chances quite a bit. [img]/images/graemlins/cool.gif[/img]

I won my first try on sat afternoon 1/1 no gigabet. I did have chipdaddy, teddykgb, and donflun but mostly unknowns.

In the case of the STEPS tourneys, I think that the benefit will really just be to the top players. I think that the site will be losing in the long run.

The reason is that instead of bad players shuffling their money around the poker economy against other bad players(and constantly letting it ALL slip away in rake), a lot of this cash is now ending up in the hands of top players where it will obviously never end up back in the poker economy.

The bad players will go broke quicker, and long term rake revenues will be less than normal SNGs with less vig.

That's my opinion anyways

Gotcha - thanks for the clarification. I've been sticking with the 20+2s, but I think I will start dabble in the higher as well.
