gambler's fallacybut let me give a situation that everyone can agree on, and is my best attempt to make my point: you have AA and someone puts you all in (in an mtt). it's indisputable. you have the best hand in that situation, and so calling is correct. but lets say you're always covered in this situation and this same situation comes up say 4 more times (opponent has a pocket pair each time). each time you call it's "correct," but mathematically, YOU WILL LOSE one of the 5 hands. -
SPOILER ALERTyoure right.... the fact that its a FATHER SON COMBO and that they are basically calling each other's hands out the whole way down only to have the son muck the best hand in hopes that his chips will help his dad win another title like he knows he dreams of MEANS NOTHING...idiot...Collusion............ you do realize that it involves two people acting together. Did you even watch the movie? Did you see the two people acting together to benefit each other. Why don't you understand something before you try to talk about it.Movie was enjoyable. It was a fun date movie with some good scenes. People seem to forget just as with Spiderman 3 and comic fans that the movie is made for the masses and not for the one specific fan type. This movie had a good poker plot and an ejoyable romance theme. -
Collusion at the final table is the way the character "redeems" himself after stealing, criticizing for somebody not cheating for him, etc etc?the cameos were entertaining but i hated watching hennigan and many other pros being called some fictitious name...enjoyed parts of it, but overall it was a POS

thats my fault :(when i introduced it to them i was mispelling it... then i was too scared to admit that i had mispelled the greatest hand in poker... so i kept up the fakeness...forgive me

this was discussed a while back and most everyone said theyd steal like crazy...somebody posted the very memorable "id break my mouse stealing blinds"I never have, nor will I ever blind somebody down HU. Nor will anybody with any hint of class. -

at coushatta (in louisiana) this weekend, a clueless asian lately was tipping $20 or more on hands... IN A FRICKIN 2/5 GAME!!!!!!it was just on the bigger pots... when she was chasing down her flush etc... then shed start throwing red chips to the dealer saying "you want more?"one dealer made $100 in 3 hands off her... RIDICULOUS

correct.i always wanted to go back and look at the numbers... what kind of odds was he getting?Gus said I can't fold I have 10 high and yes the Magician did have 77.Gus called with 10 8 off suit and hit his 8 to knock out the magician. -

yeah... i hear ya....we are playing this format because several of the players are playing the same structure at the WSOP soon after... of course, 20 players vs maybe 1000 is much different, but we wanted to look at exactly what yall have talked about...seems like a aggro luck-needed structure early, which im fine with... gamble it up early with strong hands and then make some room to play...guaranteed that several of the players there wont realize what is necessary with the structure and wont be playing tight enough until they only have 500 chips...get luckyand don't make any stupid callsplay aggressiveget lucky -
from original post: Payout: Top 5 (50%,25%,15%,5% & 5%) based on 20 playersNot sucking.A winner-takes-all freezeout plays just like a cash game.There's no bubble - which is really the main thing that separates tournament strategy from cash game strategy. The only difference is that you're forcing yourself to up the stakes at set intervals, and not letting anyone rebuy.You start off playing $2.50/$2.50NL with stacks of $100.By the last blind level, you're playing $120/$240NL with stacks no larger than 4 big blinds per person. -
with the short stack start... but long levels.... at what point would you consider yourself in the clear to actually play and not be forced to gamble so much?That structure sucks. So you have to play fast. Play your AA, KK, QQ hands as quick as possible, trying to get as much money in the pot as possible.You're going to have to gamble with your top pair hands as well, you won't have the room to play around to make sure you are good.If you flop a flush draw, or OESD, or another monster draw, don't be afraid to c/r all-in, or just push, making sure the bet is big enough for you to have some fold equity as well.In a craptacular structure, you are going to have to gamble a lot.- Zach -
i know... i was halfkidding...what i was looking for was what people would consider in that first level more than anything...making it 4Xbb means youve committed 1/10 of your stack.... 1 caller and youre committing another 20% (30% total) on the flop alone with a pot sized bet... i would imagine that about half the players in this tournament realize this... the other half are absolute dillholes.... so it will be interesting...Relax.There's no one way to play a poker tournament. Look at the pros. They all have different styles. And no one can tell you which suits you after one post. -
well excuse me...Try the tournament section.I'm not really sure if someone can give you a strategy for a specific tournament.These questions are really starting to bug me.All I can tell you is to accumulate chips. If the structure is slow enough, and your stack is deep enough, you have room to play around with suited connectors, etc, if not, you have to try and get it all in with the best of it, and hope to hold up.The main strategy should be to get all of the chips in play. -
2 table freezeout designed to mimic a $1000 buy in at WSOP soon after (since several are playing in it...)obviously this has only 20 players where the real one will have many more, but what type of strategy would you implement in this situation?Game: No Limit Hold'em Buy-in: $100 Place: ****Date: Saturday June 24, 2006 Time 2:00 pm Chips: T 1000 Payout: Top 5 (50%,25%,15%,5% & 5%) based on 20 players Blinds: 60 min BYOE Detailed Blind levels: LEVEL ANTE BLINDS 1 - $25-$25 2 - $25-$50 3 - $50-$100 4 - $100-$200 5 $25 $100-$200 6 $25 $150-$300 7 $50 $200-$400 8 $75 $300-$600 Remove $25 Chips 9 $100 $400-$800 10 $200 $600-$1,200 11 $200 $800-$1,600 12 $300 $1,200-$2,400

right.... 77, 88, unlikely AA... or AK are the hands im stressin here... KK or QQ coulda been overplayed but very unlikely...i have a reputation in this game as being rather LAG.... a lot of the players are rather weak and i scoop lots of small pots and play my hands blind sometimes (without them realizing that...)i could see this player calling my reraise with 88... AA obviously, and AK... know they wouldnt with AJ or less....i ended up folding... wound up making that money back in about 4 hands.... and owning that player the rest of the night.... player appeared to be very tight/solid and it later reassured me that my fold was very likely the correct move...well only hands really beating you post flop is, AK/ or a set, -
ive been at the table... villain recently moved over (2 table home game)the preflop was because villain is reasonably tight and would fold or fold to on flop aggression.... this is not my typical AQ play... and apparently this was a bad spot for it...i dont see villain overplaying KK or QQ with this flop.... my best bet is that villain has 88 or AK... (known to hate AJ or lower so im not looking at 2 pair either for this preflop action)I think your preflop raise was kind of silly, I wouldn't want to be playing a big pot with AQo with no read good on the villian.can you think of a hand that you can beat that he would be playing like this?I know you haven't been at the table that long but.... I can't think of a hand you can beat besides 99-KK and it seems like it might be it. -
6 handed 1/2NLHE game... play is somewhat loose but no pedro or anything... 1st time playing with villiain and ive got a minimal read due to less than an hour of play... relatively tight/standard play though observed so far. stacks: villain has about $250ish? and ive got $174 to start the hand 6 handed at this point... villain makes it $8 UTG... in the cutoff i raise to $22 with AQo villian calls... $47 in pot going to flop flop is As7d8d villain bets out $30 i raise to $75 villain smooth calls turn is 4c villain bets $70 and i have $77 in my stack.... whats your play and what hand are you putting villain on? (villain hates AJ/AT too- as told to me by others more experinced at playing with villain)
