  1. Tomorrow I am playing in a $100 No limit buy-in with a limit of 200 players. They are paying 11 places. The tournament starts at 1 and they hope to be done by 5, so the blind are going to go up quick. I was told that 1st place should be around 5k. Most of the proceeds are going to charity.Most tournaments I would only play these types of hands the first hour AA-10S AKos,AKs. After that I play as the TAG using position to my advantage. I have never played a Tournament where the blinds go up so fast, Not real sure if my normal Strategy will work here.What might be a good strategy for this type
  2. I have plans to do that, I heard his book was worth reading.
  3. [The VAST majority of low buy-in tourney players have no clue how to play a short stack. So, What do think the bacis rules are to playing a short stack?
  4. [What pairs did they have, from what positions, and did they just call or reraise?I'm willing to bet at least one of their calls with certain pairs was far worse than your raise with 44.Nope, They just call, The button had kk's and the BB had JJ's, that's why they gave me grief. I was a big underdog preflop.( I was behind the button when I pushed). with pocket 4's I really didn't want any callers, I just wanted the blinds.
  5. the 2 callers I had, Had over pairs on me, and I got lucky and rivered a 4 to give me trips to put them out, they gave me grief for push all in preflop,
  6. I thought I made the right play, the 2 over pair that I rivered, where say how could you push all in with just 4's, I told I was short stacked ,and everyone was play so tight because want to get in the money, I figured the I could steal the blinds by pushing.
  7. I was 1 behind the deal. I had pocket 4's. I was 2nd small stack. The blinds were up to 1-2k I had about 5800 left.Everyone after the BB fold to me. Just the Dealer and the blinds left. Do you Push here? Dealer is UTG, The Blinds are new comers to the game. I was not in the money yet, needed 2 to drop to get to the money.
  8. Your friend will come across as condescending and ignorant for trying to improve them. And he'll probably be wrong half the time. I guess that he only tries to educate them after he's had a beat beat?you are right , He comes off very condesending and more like a wineing little B*&^H. He playes most low limit 2/4 cash games holdem and High low Omaha, and the players he plays with make is a showdown game, everyone in every hand, I played it for a while. That type of game was very hard (for Me aleast)to win at consitantly.
  9. I just found a web site the will run your home tounrament. It's call Pokertracker.com.It a free site. It seems like a prety good site, It lets you set up the tournament anyway you want, It calulates the payout, keep count of # of players.
  10. Ya, They will call large PF bets and raises. I remeber having AA's I was 2 behind the button, I planned to check raise,but didn't get the chance, sm blind Checks, BB goes all in, bb+2 calls, Im thinking pay day. I call. Everyone else folds.We turn over are cards, BB pushed all in with pocket 2's ,BB+2 Called With 910s, and then me with My AA's. I can see the BB playing the 2's Agressively,trying to push everyone out., but BB+2 (In My Opinion) made a bad call. This was the 2nd hand of the tourney. Needless to say my AA's got cracked, with a flush on the flop.BB+2 won a huge pot. and to this day
  11. I have a game that I play weekly, For me right now it is really the only game I can get without going to a casino. I play live 8 person Mini tourneys. I use do well at this game. But lately there has been a influx of new players that play any two cards and will chase down to the river, and then get that lucky river card they need. I think I play well, I play position, bet and rasie as I think I should. Many times I bet perflop 2 to 4 times the BB when I think I have the Best hand. Trying to get players off their hands. Most times I get 3 to 4 players that call. (for Empl) I have AKs and posit
