December - the 180 man SNG challenge

Last time I limped UTG w/AA, J7 flopped 2 pair and stacked me.

F### SLOW PLAYING!!!!!

Clayton, it seems you always get in trouble with AK?

Evidently

I have been knocked out 3 times thus far with AK, and it should have been four. Idiot raises big preflop with KJo, I make it 350ish in level 1, he calls. Flop AQT. Thank god jack on river.

When I used PokerTracker for my first 3k hands in cash games..one of my biggest holes was AK, especially AKo. Not giving my opponent enough credit for a better hand. To much preflop, and to many continutation bets, along with calling raises, or c/r and losing chunks of my stack. It got to the point that I was scared to play it.

I was thinking more along the line of getting the money in with AKo as the favorite and getting sucked out on, or repushing over an LP pushes and getting called by an EP limper with AA.

But yours works too.

lol...Well if that's the case, nothing you can do about that. Just have faith that in the long run you come out a winner. This why I hate MTT's and have a hard time playing them. You get your money in the middle as a 5:1 favorite 4 times in the early stages and your hand holds up, but the 5th time you do it and get cracked, it's right before the final table and you lost 90% of your stack. MTT's are just so much about luck it drives me crazy. It's not about winning pots, it all matters about winning the important ones.

First day of doing this and I blow. Played 18 and cashed twice, no FT. I'm running pretty bad though. Anyone else trying?

I think I'll try this with you clayton. The past 6 months I have been playing mostly party 33 3-tables with maybe 1-3 large MTT a day (depends how busy I am). As of today I've played 1292 33 3-tables at a 31.83% ROI. If people are as excited as I see with these maybe I'll go with you and see how I do there compared with party 33 3-tables. Good luck.

Great I have played these a lot the last month all I need is a load of 2+2 ers coming along. The play is bad and as such the suckouts can be pretty bad as well, I have cashed in 3 out of lots so I suck at poker although I won one so my roi on these is still pretty good.

It is bizarre that in most well over 50% of the field can be gone by first break in, a couple down to sixty odd players.
