Thanks Bob, that is what I was thinking, with higher amount of entrants is it nessisary (howeber thats spelt) to alter your overall strategy. Will there be many members of fcp playing?

Hey all, I am playing the Sunday Storm on pokerstars tonight, I have never really played many large scale tournaments like this with so many people. Would be grateful of any advice that anyone can give. Thanks

OK thanks Bob

how many usualy enter this?

Being as there so many silly questions on these forums...what would u rather be chased by, a horse sized duck or a dozen duck sized horses?

agreed, i do nt see how anyone can argue with that point, players of potential but without moving up and playin the highest limits thats all it is. I know there are many good 5/10 players but there are not many bad 100/200 players etc, unless they have more money than sense.

sorry think i phrased that wrong. I will only have one account but you have the option to deposit in euro or dollars, and the funds stay in the currency u deposited in. So i will be keeping my low stakes in dollars and my higher stakes in euros. I think this shold work, well im hoping lol. Does anyone play the turbo takedown?

Tottally agreed there, it would be silly to drop to the 5/10 at this stage when you are playing a regular 100/200. I wouldnt even consider it. I know this is a lot different, but I am a regular live cash player, I dont play nowhere near 100/200, but play a regular 5/10 and 10/20 (£) at my cardroom, I sat at a 1/2 table a few nights ago and I forgot how different it is. I felt like I was at the .5/.10 microstakes tables on pokerstars. I will post some of the play what went on as I had to write it down i was gobsmacked. It has just proved to me how different the mindset is of players from diffe

LOL that is just crazy though. In response to being "pissy at the table" how would you react if someone done that at a big event, I know I would be pissed off. Fair play pity more people dont speak out rather than let nonsense like that ruin and spoil the event for the other players at the table.Oh and DN, so you can predict future events now aswel as hole cards lol people will be calling you GOD soon haha

lol. good idea. I have thought of an idea, going to try it out sunday.I usually convert funds into $, so when i make my larger deposit seperate from my micro challenge I will deposit in euro, seperating both of the accounts. Hopefully this will work lol.

Hey all, just a quick question,Is there any way of having 2 accounts with pokerstars? I have set myself a challenge but I could do with a seperate account to play the sunday million etc. If not can anyone advise a way to keep track of my challenge whilst still having increased funds for these tournaments?

Ok thanks guys, i will be staking over the next couple of weeks. I have done well in some live cash games recently and dont realy have the time to play the long tournaments of the weeekend, so gna give someone else the chance. May want to rail in a few games beforehand just too "scout" maybe. Is this ok?Any1 interested leave pokerstars username, tournament preference (turbo etc), stakes usually played, time usually online (and time zone). Thanks guys.

I am looking to stake some players soon, but i need some info...does it work?how do i know who to trust?what ratio is good?best days to stake?

Thanks for the advice fighter, i have always tried to put people on hands, sometimes it works sometimes it doesnt. I find sitting at a table for 3 hours long enough to realise betting patterns etc which i why i play alot of live cash play. I think this is my problem online, i cant focus as much. Had a bad night at the tables last night, only £1/2 though thankfully nothing i played held up. Lets hope tonights games a bit better.

sure did mills, posting in a limit thread didnt realise. lol i dont know much about limit poker.

personally i would make a bet on the river. but be prepared too fold if neccesay. Ye bet the river maybe just over half pot but be prepared to throw them, imo.Why would you not check any street?

Ok too explai my fold, i was quite sure one of these guys had a high pp from the way they were beting both pre-flop and on flop. Also I had a decent stack too not have too risk any more chips than neccesary as it is only 9-man sng. However, I wish i would have called............... turn came 8................. AAARRRRGGGHHHH.One guy turned over jacks the other aces, so my fold is 100% defencable as I only had 2 realistic outs to better my hand and was behind from pre-flop.Also the check-call worried me, after the pre-flop play.

LOL Yeh aint that strange, u knw u shouldnt but still do..

ok so heres a $3 9 man sng at poker stars, do you think i folded to early or made a good fold?

ok, when i said kq, i should have said 2 high face cards really, so sorry for any mix up. I am a new member lol not a joke account. To the last comment, I have already stated in a previous post that I am predominantly a live cash player and am looking to improve my online play, whch in the past i havent had enough time to progress as I would like. Which is one of the reasons I joined this forum, to gain knowledge from experienced online players. Does this explain my reasons for joining enough? And anyway what is wrong with looking at forums, whatever stakes you play? there is always something

Should I not be trying to put my opponents on certain hands when I am playing?How else can I make my decisions?

Anyway.......I flat called his raise, after thinking and thinking, TURN.... Qthat sort of pleased me, opening up posibility of straight and also flush for him.My turn to act I bet £300 into him and he reraised me again to £900, i was like wtf. so i flat called again. Pot was at over 2k now i had about £500 left. RIVER.... 7I pushed rest of stack in thinking plese dont have j q or pkt queens. The guy said well Ive put this much in I have too see now and called. I turned my cards over and he went white lol, shoowing A Q. he said i thought u had 2 over cards and were pot stealing as you have all

no i felt he had kq or there abouts, he actually wasnt holding those cards but was close. I had been playing against him since i sat at the table so sort of had an idea of the hands he was raising with etc. There was no need to be all cocky really was there?

I went to my local card room this evening for around 3 hours, £5/£10 9 player table, i took £1000 on with me with 4 extra buy ins of he same amount as i were planning on a long night, but due to tiredness (and that whisky lol) i came away early. I had lost my first £1000 to a full house, guy holding pocket 7s, didnt see it coming but thats the way it goes. I was currently on around £2600, so i was around £600 up. Five of the guys are regular players, 2 unknowns and an occasional cash player (depends how he does on the roulette tables) so i knew most of the players and the way they play. I was

play the low stakeswas a nice pot for you, well done. anything like that is just a coin flip, especially all in pre flop. Its quite tricky really, i dont usually play micro tables but have started since yesterday, and was suprised what people go in with lol. AK at these stakes, especially if u were re-raised 5 times prior, was a definate re-raise all in to me. if u not gna be aggressive with that then u would never get in a pot.was it the same guy raising? i gather so by the way u opened the post lol. People may disagree with me here but at these stakes id have done the same. I think on these
