Re: My first final table in 2 years.
I think it was only about $200. All I know about FJ is that he plays the $215 SNGs (i know you know this, curtains) so i doubt this played into his consideration. No question he's playing for first here.

Re: My first final table in 2 years.
There wasnt a huge difference between 3rd and 4th. The only reason I might have folded here was because I might could have squeaked into 2nd. I feel like it was the right play if the big stack was observant and remembered I never pushed into him. I feel as if it was an iffy push.

Re: My first final table in 2 years.
Well, I dumbly decided to play the $11 rebuy on Empire...I am the chip leader right now, and have been all tourney, going into the final table. I have to get 5th to make any monre [img]/images/graemlins/frown.gif[/img] I rebought 7 times and took the add on. Oh well..maybe I will spend 4 hours to win $300...that would be....nice.
Also, I have to wonder if buyins a big stack is actually a +ev play in the long run. Like in the $33 earlier, I had to get 10th to break even out of a field of 150 or so. Here, I have to get 5th out of 60. I am thinking it will only take one loss to put you behind. I guess I just see that if I take 1st, I am only getting back 4x by buyin. Thats worse than a sng and it takes a lot longer. Anyways, I think I am going to play a few of these tomorrow and if all goes well, I just might buy a stack in the $250 rebuy on Sunday.

[/ QUOTE ] I don't think it is dumb. I think it is a great way to get some variation into your poker. Just think of it as a reward for grinding SnGs. Of course joining a 10+1 during the slow hours will probably mean that you don't get all that excited by the prize money.

Anyone have advice on playing against a total calling station?

Re: My first final table in 2 years.
it is amazing how every time i bet with a good hand he folds and every time i bet something like mid pair, he has a higher kicker.
