Default Re: Deepstacks at 1/2 NL

i was at the taj about 2 weeks ago, sitting 1-2 nl (60min-300max) most of the people at the table would buy in for 100 with the occasional rarity where someone would buy in for 200-300, i bought in for 2(a bit light on the roll lately and i only had 6 with me for the day so i figure better have 3 buy ins than 2 incase ... well u get the picture
the whole table was full of college aged kids. And there was this one college kid who had a monster stack of about 2600(at its highest point). he had been playing for 27 hours straight when i got there and was still seated there about 8 hours later when i left.

thats quite a run considering most people bought in for 100

when i first sat down he was at 2200 but within an hour he went to go buy a room with a mere 4 of his what looked like an endless supply of green chips, he was back 30 min later after having showered and feeling refreshed. however after doubleing up a few people and takeing a few other people's entrie stacks he seemed to get bored he would make it 15 to go or even 20-30 to go and just push in regardless of the flop. he wasnt just donking away money, he was still playing well, just he almost got bored of playing extremely tight like he was before his shower break and within the first hour of his return, however just becasue he was playing loose he was certainly not playing badly he had worked his stack up to about 2600 at one point but then his play started catching up to him and he kept running into the jj vs qq and so on for lots of money.

he did make one huge mistake while i was at the table: someone made it 10 to go and he repopped it to 30. initial raiser calls, on the flop he just says all in which he did alot becoause of his stack and to his dismay did not realise how much money the caller actually had. (around 400 or so) he said he thought he had much less

so anyway, his basic play was that his raises were alot larger than proportional as well, he was a good player and used his stack well,but the biggest adavatage hehad was every time u were in a hand with him he put u to a decision for all your chips if he thought u didnt have it and in the later hours when some of the people who had been there for a while had larger stacks that could mean 600-800 and on top of that he could very well have a monster himself.

he ended up haveing about 1700 when i left the table but he was still going strong and said he will prob play till tomorow afternoon and he would like to get back to around 3k!!! also he said he only bought in the table for 100!
