I generally try to not to win and leave -- the only instances I can think of where I have left a table after winning (or a few hands after,) are when I was already past the amount of time I set aside to play - or if a tourney is starting and I want to focus on it.I'm normally shutting down tables (last to leave.) The last two days, I've made all my money when it got down to heads-up. Opponent went broke, and my session was done for the night

Just use the formula that RGP used for their leaderboard:Tournament Rankings Formula B = buy-inN = # of playersR = rank points = round(10*sqrt((N/2)/(pow(intval®,1.1))*(1+log(intval(pow(B,1.5))+0.25))),1)

Thanks for all the responses. Think a buddy is gonna hook up a deal at the Flamingo. Be out there on June 2nd! :twisted:

Suggestions?Anyone familiar with or have anything to say about:Summer Bay Resort

I could have sworn that there were a few pros that had said they play specifically for competition:Phil H - maybe more for ego than even competitionDaniel - didn't he say Poker was his shot to be the best at something?Paul Phillips - he doesn't need moneyThere might even be more.As for me specifically, I play for a variety of reasons. I love poker. I still have fond memories of playing for pennies in middle school. I enjoy most card games, including spades, hearts, canasta, etc... Money is one aspect of my poker playing, but far from my focus. I'm super anal about my bankroll and limits, to the point that I'm sometimes ridiculed by my friends.I like the game.I like the competition.The money is close to last on my list, but does add some excitement at times.

Did he mention not hitting it until the end? I only ask, because I know on Tilt, the cards are not necissarily shown in the order they came out during a showdown. Not sure if you mentioned what site you were playing or if they handle it differently - just something strange I noticed on Full Tilt.I did lose to two baby pair. He didnt hit it till the river. -
Sometimes it just helps to post about it. I don't post too often in the bad beats section (think I started 3-4 posts.) I normally just do it when I'm frustrated - helps me calm down sometimes.My latest blog entry has a semi-bad beat story in it as well :shock: Therapy I guess...

Oops ;)Editing first post!

Just curious if anyone has any thoughts on buy-in guidelines for stud/razz cash games?Normally for Hold'em I buy-in @20xBB for limit games100xBB for NL (sometimes 50xBB)What should I be sitting down with for stud/razz?20-40x big bet?

Any bodog affiliates without a full tilt account want to give tilt a try using my affiliate code, in exchange for me using theirs on Bodog? PM me if interested.If no one is interested in that, I could wind up just using a forum regular's affiliate code when I do finally sign up at Bodog -- hopefully this weekend sometime.

Are you saying three people folded? If so, which cards were exposed? It looks like the bring in folded as well, so that is one 3 gone. Making it less likely that the guy with 4s has a hidden 3 for two pair.On 7th, the 6 takes away one of the potential outs of the guy with 4s. You already have two of the aces. More than likely he was on a straight draw, with a hidden 5 (just a guess.) A big hand like a flush is unlikely, as is a boat, since you would expect some agression. He could have the last 2 or one of the last two 3s (this is where knowing the other exposed cards can be a huge help.) I wouldn't be surprised to see you lose to two pair, but I don't see anything wrong with how you played really. Curious to see what Donk #1 had3 folds

The guy with K10d is a 51% favorite post flop.
Why is this???That was rough, nice job making a comeback though. Honestly, he actually had more equity in that pot than you did after that flop, so If you told me you had QQ, easy call. -
First, thanks for all the comments, there are some well thought out responses and I totally dig that! After the flop, I was relatively confident my hand was good. I thought if donnie had caught trips, or had an over pair he would raise up Rifle. At this point I did not want anyone to out draw me. I really did want to push them out, which is what resulted in my all-in move. I could have bumped it up to a pot sized raise, but even then I'm practically commited to the hand with ~T375 left. I could have done a weak raise, but then a strong player could steal the pot from me.I could cold call, giving a free card to anyone on a draw. In this specific hand maybe the second five would have been enough to push donnie out (not sure.) Anyways, I'm jumping ahead - here is the rest of the story...Board reads [2:diamond: 5:diamond: T:club: ]- I show [Q:heart: Q:spade: ]- donnievegas shows [T:diamond: K:diamond: ]- Uncalled bet of 75 returned to me(T3500) The turn is [5
]....(T3500) The river is [K:spade: ]- I show two pair, Queens and Fives- donnievegas shows two pair, Kings and Tens- donnievegas wins the pot (3,425) with two pair, Kings and TensI was a little disappointed with the pre-flop call, but thats cool. I'm down huge at this point (T75) position 177 of 177 left, or something like that Somehow though I manage to stay calm, and eventually I get back up to around T1300 after the first break. I've been playing pretty solid, and even though I'm relatively short stacked I'm happy with where I'm at. Obviously I have to make some moves still, and I get my opportunity when I'm dealt AKo. I wind up all-in with one other player and a pot over T3000. I'm still feeling good, until my opponent spikes a heart on the river to turn his king high (K:heart: 3:heart:) into a king high flush. I was still happy with my finish, I wound up going from 177th to finishing 59th, with a measly T75! (I outlased donnievegas too which soften the pain of finishing so far from the monies :-) )Surviving was pure patience, and nothing else. Several times I was dealt King high, or J10 off and had to muck it. Once I even had to muck 7s. I managed to pick the right spots to make moves, and was able to walk away from the tournament feeling good about my short-stack play. (I did muck a middle pocket pair once during this run where I would have pulled in a very nice pot. Maybe I was playing too tight, and a hand or two looser could have pushed me up closer to a money finish - who knows 
) -
I wouldn't go that crazy -- thats less than 3 full buy-ins if you buy-in for the max. I would recommend .25/.50 NLH game. 1/2 Limit Hold'em would be fine too if you prefer it for cash games.If you prefer tournaments, I would stay in the 10-30$ range for now.Congrats, you've done well.With your bankroll you can afford to play $1/$2 NLH now, it's full of fish. -
About seven minutes into a NL tournament, most players sitting with around T1500 in chips. Top 2 spots are 2k WSOP packages (1500 entry, 500 cash.) 3rd-5th get a little cash.(Sorry about not using the converter - hand is from Full Tilt.)hawkeyelax13 - SBkev19 - BBRifle33 - UTGklugman - UTG+1LzyLightning - MP1donnievegas - MP2me - MP3PrecoiusRoy - COTheDel - ButtonI am dealt [Q:heart: Q:spade: ]- Rifle33 calls 30- klugman folds- LzyLightning folds- donnievegas calls 30- I raise - PreciousRoy folds- TheDel folds- hawkeyelax13 folds- kev19 folds- Rifle33 calls 170- donnievegas calls 170(T645) Flop comes [2:diamond: 5:diamond: T:club: ]- Rifle33 bets 180- donnievegas calls 180- I raise - Rifle33 folds- donnievegas calls 1,120, and is all inI'll come in later with the rest of the hand, results, etc... What are everyone's thoughts? Too loose for the start of a tournament?

I think it would be cool to see Daniel on Full Tilt.

There is a sticky in the strategy section about PT:http://www.fullcontactpoker.com/poker-foru...pic.php?t=12767It has links to some very useful information, and is a central location for PT infos.

That is one problem with overbetting. Depending on the caliber of player you are playing, they will read an overbet as you wanting them out of the hand (depending on their opinion of your play.) Against the guy in this hand history, I'm pretty sure he would have mucked if I bet out 8$ on the flop. There are other players though that would respond by pushing in over the top -- then its back on me.You can get into the same tricky type of situations with the whole min-raise thing. Everyone keeps talking about how bad a play it is (and I won't argue about this specific scenario - I screwed up,) but if you flop the absolute nuts or hit it on the turn, you can sometimes build the pot using the min-raise.It seems to me that if you REALLY want to take it down, go 2x pot. -
Never disputed you bro. You only provided specifics after I had made this post (about being all-in on the turn - think your suggestions were check-raise all-in or lead out betting 3/4ths of the pot.) + I enjoy reading multiple perspectives. Yes most are saying to push all-in on the turn (one way or another,) but some are providing other minor bits of information like:So now do you believe me, Comatose?This was originally posted in Bad Beats.
:-)Edit: Considering the flush draws and inside straight draws on the flop, you should have also considered overbetting the pot on the flop ($6-$8 ). -
He had:97o
-
Prior to any of the betting on the turn:I had $20.70He had $20.50Pushing in seems to be the consensus.....since im not even sure you had 20 left...go allin before hes nearly pot commited, dont check...go allin -
So your fine with the check-raise if the raise is up to $20 opposed to $12?
agreedthat was a weak ass raise to, never raise the minimum in NLYou should be all in on the turn actually. -
A - I probably make it 50 to go, although that depends on the feel of the table.B - Fold. UTG raised, and lead out. Even if a Q comes you have to worry about AK. Best card for you would be a 7. Not sure I want to put another T200 in hoping for 1 of four 7s.
