Spread Limit Hell
Here in Minnesota, they only allow limit games except in tournaments. In place of no-limit, some casino's offer a spread limit game like $2-$10 or $5-$30. Without thinking about proper strategy...

Re: Unsportsmanlike?
I got a little peeved just reading your post. That was a real dink move on your opponents part. Not illegal, but dinkish.
That said, in order to avoid tilt, I think that it's important to not...

Re: This is whats wrong with online SnG\'s
I would suggest trying the two table sng's. You start with 1000 instead of 800 and the blinds are timed. For the most part, the competition is the same as the 1 tables (at the $10 + 1 level), and...

Wow, so many romantics on this forum.

Re: Bellagio 8-16
When I was there the 6-12 at Mirage played tight enough where a PF raise would steal the blinds, often. We had to teach some of the people what "chopping" the blinds meant because the situation...

Re: transportation to Canterbury from MSP
I'm pretty sure that Canterbury doesn't have a shuttle. Cab fare could be really steep if you got caught in rush hour. That area gets really backed up.
One possibility would be to find the free...

Re: Minimum raises...
Interesting post. I've used the min raise in 10+1 NL SNG's on PP. Early in the SNG, if there are many limpers and I am in late position or the blinds, I will min raise just to build the pot. I...

I like the flop bet, but I would probably check/fold the turn. His call on the flop with that board really scares me. After he called your preflop raise I would think that he could have a set of...

I would re-raise all-in pre flop. Obviously, if he has aces or kings you are in big trouble, but the chances of that are pretty small since you already hold one of each. Plus you get to put him on a...
