Biggest waste of 22 dollars ever?

But two pairs, trips and cool draws do happen. I dont care what you say Im still putting less than 1% of my stack to see a flop [img]/images/graemlins/tongue.gif[/img]. You have 40-1 odds to flop 2 pairs( wpt season 1) and 50-1 odds to flop trips( rough math I just worked out)Which means something like a 4,5% chance of flopping the goods, thereby folding any 2 with more than 5 limpers its a disaster, now if we add implied odds+ the time u lose + the times u win the hand without flopping something great+ straights + flushes then we probably have to limp if theres say 3 limpers because with only 3 limpers u can bet ur hand ( k8) with a K42 flop. Im sorry for my horrible english and lack of paragraphs but I hope you get my point of view

I don't know about the meta game.

I think the completion is profitable as a whole. If you took away the possibility of flopping 2-pair+, it might not be. But, after counting the T15 as a sunk cost, you can still play the hand profitably.

I've got to start using pokertracker, but then again I don't crank out enough SNGs to give any good data on something like this.

Oh yeah..I get your point...I'm just saying that after reading the original post...I don't think telling him to always complete the SB is necessarily a good idea....it's -$EV for him right now....however, if he learns from it every time then soon it should be +$EV (barely) and then +$EV (slightly more barely).....

It's much easier to leak from the SB on level 1 than to profit significantly from it....IMO.

You do what you gotta do though valenzuela dude...

Ok I agree with you, I shouldnt tell ppl they "must" do something when theyre losing money doing it.
