Re: Overall Tournament Strategy
[ QUOTE ]
I know this reflects conventional tournament wisdom, but I think it's very poor advice. In Party tourneys where there is no ante, the structure allows you to get lower. If the cards...

Re: first hand of a sng
Nearly every poker book I've read says that AK is a good raising hand, but not a good calling hand. (And, of course, that in no way means that you never call with it.)
At best you are up against...

Re: first hand of a sng
Hmm... There are more than 1-table SnGs. Both PP and PS have 2 and 3-table. Seems multi-table to me.

Re: Overall Tournament Strategy
You put a lot of thought into this and I appreciate your time. The only thing I would add is you have to know when you're beat.

Re: Early tourny, tough spot
My experience early in the tourny is that it is hard to steal blinds when they are small.
However, since the blinds are up to $50, you have been sitting here long enough to know whether stealing...

Re: The \"Loose Table\" Rule
Hmm... Lately I have had my premium, high pocket pairs called (3-4xBB) and beaten by 62s, A6o. It gets frustrating. So I play tight in the beginning. The problem with this approach is that you often...

Re: Multi Table struggles
They are stalling, hoping that others will get knocked out and they will slide into the money. "Burn" has no significant meaning. It's an expression--buring up the clock.

Re: Blind War
Some of these guys will call anything hoping that an A hits the board. Can't tell you how many hands I've had to lay down after trying to push a caller out with big bets--A on turn or river.

Re: First post on new forum -- bubble conundrum
It's really a question of how deep you want to go into the money.
The bubble is a good time to push with this hand. Only the big stacks will call. Most people are folding all but pocket AA or KK...

Re: Best MTTs on Party/Empire?
Yeah. I neglected to mention the 20-minute intervals (is that fairly new?). I have more problems at PP than anywhere else. And yes the hand-for-hand is aggrevating.
Another complaint I have about...

You are not pot committed. If I had him JT or a set of jacks I would fold. If I had him on a pair of jacks or flush draw I would call. However, since you have said nothing about how he has been...

Re: Best MTTs on Party/Empire?
I play PP, Stars, UltimateBet and just started at Bodog. Of them all, PP's structure is the worst. They start you out with less chips, have a clunkier interface, and fewer low to mid MTTs. Not to...
