Wow, I really hate finishing 31st after focusing for 2 hours 15 minutes, pushing for 9BB in the CO with Q2s and getting called in the BB with KQs. Argh. This is mentally frustrating... [/ QUOTE ] Just to commiserate, I just spent the first two hours as the chipleader. Then in two orbits, AQ<AK, AK<QQ, and 44<10/10 (BB vs. SB) and i'm out in 26th. I hate poker. -J.A. |

I love these things, I'm thinking about quitting my job to just play 180s at Stars (seriously). Just wait for the cards, but if you do get into a pot and miss a flop, extremely aggressive post-flop usually takes it down. Esp. near the end when everyone tightens up to try to make the final 3.
I've only been playing seriously for 3 months. I think I'm above average but nothing special (yet). So you know if I'm beating them handily, the quality of play on these things is pretty piss-poor. Just frustrating in the short run when they donk you out in 23rd place. |

In order for the 180's to be worth it, I think you have to 3 table them, if not more. The play is so bad that you can easily do this. Last week I spent the better part of 7 hours multitabling them with at least 3 at time, and sometimes at 5 and destroyed them. Final tables are easy on these. It's unreal what people will call down with.

Also if you're still learning, unlike say the big MTTs where you can go months w/o making a final table, I think the 180s are a great way to get a ton of experience in MTTs for relatively cheap, and still possibly win a nice chunk. At least that's what I tell myself when I bust out on the bubble after 3 hours of toil.

Hey Clayton why did you leave yourself rougly 250 (dont remember exactly) after your flop bet with KK? Terrible call on the flop by him, but there was no way he was going to fold to the turn bet. Do you think you should have just pushed the flop?
Also...heres a hand from a 180 I played last night. Blinds--200-400. Stacks--Hero 6100 Villain 6365. 43 players left. Villian raises to 1200 UTG+1. Not too much of a read on villian. Hero in MP+2 with 99? Do you stick er in there or fold? |

Apporx how long do these take on average to complete? I have been dabbling a little more in MTTs recently and think these are a good way to gain experience as another poster menioned.

Well, takes around 2 hours to get near the bubble. I would plan for 3 to 3 and a half.
