Re: Do i have a right to be angry?

How would you feel if you were the one who was disconnected in the middle of a HU tourney? I think they try to make it as fair as possible.

Re: Anyone notice obscene tightness at low buy-in PS SnGs?

That's why I think they enter the tournament and nut peddle into the money (hopefully). Seriously they are as tight as I've ever seen a low limit SNG. I just had the blinds folded around to me 4...

Anyone notice obscene tightness at low buy-in PS SnGs?

I've played 4 5+.50s today and they are ridiculously tight. The last few days was the same story. Any idea what's going on?

Do people use these SnGs to clear bonii??

If I could get anything...

Re: Is this a textbook weak tight play?

Thanks guys. Most replies are of the same general idea. I have no idea why I checked the turn. I was really setting myself up for a tough river call if a bad card came, and it did. Luckily BB was...

Re: Hand from FullTilt 10k last night...

Tough call. On one hand I'd like to peel 4th street, but if you miss and fold, you have no FE so you're in a tough spot.

Most likely you're up against a weak ace who got lucky or a weak king.

Re: Folding AA here?

The biggest question is why would villain put his stack on the line for a measly 2100 in chips when there's 3 people to act behind him that can cripple his stack. How has he played so far? What has...

1/2 Live hand against pretty tight/passive player

This past weekend at the Borg, I am on the button in a $1/$2 NL game and look down at 8h9h. 2 limpers in front of me, including villain, and the SB completes and BB checks. 5 to the flop of 886.

Heading down to AC tonight, plan to get to the Taj around 3:30am, just in time to hit up the $1/$2 NL full of drunks and burnouts and hopefully win my entry fee to the 10:15am $100+20 MTT that the...

Re: A few thoughts.

I think you have less and less FE as the buyin goes down. At an $11 SNG, FE barely matters unless you have villain covered. Just my experience. FE matters more as your buyin goes up because people...

How much fun would a rebuy SNG be?

I think they should have some rebuy SNGs. The main rule would be you can only rebuy if you bust out up until a certain point. You can't rebuy immediately and double your chips, and there's no...

Playing in a MTT as we speak, and I've literally been completely card dead for at least 5 or 6 orbits. There's a lot of raising and general loose PF play at my table, but I am getting absolutely...

Re: Trip Report, the Taj: First Casino Play

Yeah I'm a big fan of freezeouts. If I bust, I bust and go sit at a ring game.
