Guide to No Limit Holdem Tournament Play

[wjmooner]

This is a funny joke, but for those that couldn't figure that out I'll help:

OP has 1500+ posts. Probably a sign he knows what's up.
Check all of his posts to make sure that 1498 of them aren't in OOT... okay, he's good.

You should generally follow the lead of the other players at the table. For example, you should play tight at a tight table and loose at a loose table. At the beginning of the tournament, you can play very loose, and make and call bets much bigger than the tiny blinds. However, as the bubble approaches, you should tighten up your play considerably.

Gold.

The example with the A9o was great, too.

You guys are wrong, this [censored] is hilarious.

Some of you need to snap out of it and wipe the drool off your chin. This was obviously a joke (a long one at that) from the "get go".

I didn't read the whole thing but what I did read was spot on to the exact opposite of how you want to play NLH tourney. And the funny is, that you see every one of these plays at one time or another.

I'm convinced this was meant as a serious post, although much of it is indeed funny.

It actually looks like a fairly sensible way to play online for fun money. I think that's where he learned this style of poker.

I love the part about not ever raising with A,Q. But then he says that after 2 limpers, I limp with it, then a guy makes a big raise and I'm supposed to call? Them I'm going to surprise his AT of KQ with my AQ? More likely, I just walked into the only hand that would raise here....AA!

I posted this before in the multitable forum. No one took it as serious advice. Only in this forum would people think some of the advice was good and quarrel with specific parts of it.

In response to the other poster, yes, I have won several tournaments.

Obvious parody, but I had to stop reading about 1/3 of the way in, my brain was turning to mush.

But seriously, this guy is SPOT ON, and I urge you ALL to play this way, and to come to my home game...please?

'I know a lot of the players in the WSOP will be using plays from this manual.'

ROLFLMAO!

You went for the big zinger a little too soon, I'd have saved that for the end!

'In general, once you have limped in, you can call a raise of any size.'

That there is sum g00t strategy!

Please use it ALL THE TIME at my tables!

I barely got started, I can't wait to read the rest of this g00tness and all the logically
thought out replies too. (of those that believed it especially) /s/

LOL!

I think they'll be plenty in this years WSOP who will use this style of play.
