Always lucky and good?. [img]/images/graemlins/grin.gif[/img]

I've been trying to emulate your OIC performance at my own pace (i.e.: doubling up every 100 BBs instead of every 50 BBs), and well... I have been a LOT slower (still 1-2 after a week, hopefully 2-4 this week). Any more suggestions for beginners?. I tried the "weak tight" thing and it worked sometimes. My results are better at 6 handed tables than full rings.

Do you live from poker swordfish?.(This rings in my head ALL day: 6 doubles, 36 hours, 6 doubles, 36 hours...LOL).

Thanks and best regards.

Wish I could get a Granny at times like this.

Very well played,

You can almost picture Player F's anger at missing out to what he thinks is a suspect play. He sends an irate email to the bods in support, and receives the following reply:

<font color="blue">Dear Player,

Whilst we can understand your disappointment at missing out in the tournament, what you witnessed was in fact a classic example of a Granny Mae being played to perfection.

We suggest that instead of reacting so angrily, you should instead admire the beauty of a GM played so well.

Regards,
Support bod</font>

I hope you didn't misunderstand my OIC post. I wasn't trying to promote weak/tight play. I was just making a point that under certain conditions, such as the short bankrolled OIC, it can save you a few bets. Your goal should be to play a tight/aggressive game.

Obviously these results are not typical. It was a great run helped out by some good cards and a few weak players.

I figure he has already started a thread on RGP about how Party is fixed because I knew what cards were coming. [img]/images/graemlins/grin.gif[/img]
