up. This thread is good.

I have another thing to say about continuation betting that I forgot. A lot of people flat call the bet on a draw, with a weak hand or with nothing hoping if you were bluffing you'll give up on the turn. If you sense this, you gotta have the balls to fire another barrel. I've won many key pots like this. Grinder, thanks for sending the cash. Maybe we can try some more side bets in the future, except a little more fair.

Also, some of my favourite moves:The Blind Bet out - when there's some limping followed by a low uncoordinated unsuited flop and im in the sb or bb, I bet out with anything to represent some garbage hand that hit a garbage flop. Actually I'll even check raise here if it feels right.The Continuation Bet and the Continuation Bet Reraise - Continuation betting is an art. I like a flop where it is viable that it hit me while not being a great drawing board. The opponent has to be capable of a fold here, and you generally shouldn't try it as much when you have a maniac image.When the opponent continuation bets, reraise it if you feel like it is a continuation bet, and it is viable that you hit the flop, and if you can get a fold.*Danger Warning* The Pick up Dead Money Raise - Great play, but be very very careful with it. When there's high blinds and antes and at least a couple limpers, raise big, all in maybe, and try to pick up the pot. I still haven't perfected this yet, but the situation is very important. Image, stack sizes, players, etc. I would like some help with this move, but I know that it is great when it works.Huge Hand Plays - My favourite thing to do when I hit a big hand out of position is to make a small bet at the pot, looking to get a reraise. Obviously you want an agressive opponent here. Check raising is ok but I'm not a huge fan. I mix it up in this situation, but the small leading bet is my favourite. When I mean small, say 1/3 of the pot. Other than that, just try to figure out how best to get paid off, that's up to you. Oh, and my final word, rarely slowplay. There is a time for it, but usually be betting, even if you flop the nuts. So many advantages to this.

First of all, keep giving me the best of it in side bets. haha I'm not sure if you value my opinion on tournament play after I played kinda bad in that satellite you beat me heads up in, but I believe I'm a good tournament player and have accomplishments to back it up.Before I get into strategy, if you're in a bit of a slump, there's a good chance it's something to do with your concentration and other factors like that. After I've been having some success for a while I think I'm the best player in the world and its downhill from there. My well timed bluffs start getting sloppy, I make bad calls, etc. To counter this I usually stop multitabling for a day and concentrate on one tournament at a time. Also I read threads like this so I guess we're on the right track. Deep stack low blinds. I struggle with this as well so I won't say much here. My downfall is that I try to make plays which would work at higher blind levels, but no one folds at this stage. So I guess my advice is to play simple poker. I play very tight as this stage preflop, but limp or try to get in cheap with small pairs. Even suited connectors are dangerous here to me. Also, rarely play danger hands. QJ, KJ, K10, etc unless you're first in from late position.middle the fun part. I loosen up a bit here, mostly in late position. Blind stealing is cool around the bubble, but i don't raise with nothing preflop much other than then. I generally make a lot of moves here, but I don't force the action. I'm just constantly looking for spots to gain chips. Knowing the people at the table helps a lot. At least be aware of who is a maniac and who is waiting for the nuts. I run my fair share of bluff at this stage, but only when I really feel like it will work. If you're short stacked here, it kinda sucks, but I play tight and look for spots, there's just not as much messing around. There are probably going to be a few definitive plays here that make or break you, though if you happen to drag a huge pot, don't get too excited, there's a long way to go still.bubble steal, but not without restraint. look for medium stacks, tight players, and good spots. You want to gain a lot of blinds and antes here without getting stuck in a spot where you are forced to call as an underdog and put a signifigant portioin of your chips in the pot. You have to take risks here, but calculated. The EndgameI usually blow it here so again not too many comments. I usually blow it when I don't take my time. That's huge. Think through every raise, call and fold. Be aggressive here. Heads upDon't even ask me about heads up. Just go all in and hope to get lucky. thats my advice. I never win heads up.

I don't have UB so you'll have to keep me posted. What weekend tourneys are you planning on playing? I made a couple decent cashes last weekend and I have the weekend off so I'm looking to play the Full Tilt and Pokerstars. Maybe I'll make a deposit on UB, haven't been there in a while.
-

-
I'm in it.

i was at his table in the 200k for a bit, he busted out one place before me and moved me up in pay. He didn't say much at the table and made some strange plays I thought.
-
the biggest mistake you guys ever made was chasing this guy off the forum. good job.
-
they've saved me from having to reload a few times. I have 200 left in my account, i play the 24+2s, get tokens, rich by the end of the day.
-
well, i cashed. a disappointing 575 or something. up 1200 for the day and ****ing pissed about it.

7040 at first break, around 40th

I can respect grinding it out very well within your bankroll, but i certainly don't do it. Going broke isnt a huge deal. I think if you are playing that low, you may be a very good player, but don't have what it takes to be really good. Not saying that you're a great player if you're not like that but I think you need a little special something that you don't have if you have 1000bb for the limits you're playing.
-
I'm in. first of many 200 buy in tourneys. All in preflop with kings, he flips up, kings.
-
she's not that attractive.
-
I'm in, on tilt from coming 2nd in a single table sat to the 60k guaranteed after blowing a 2-1 chip lead.
-
nice cash grinder, saw you grind out a short stack for a long time. That was while I pissed away a nice starting stack. Couldn't get into any situations where they hand me over their chips when I needed it. Oh well, I'm gonna play these bigger buy in tourneys more often now, I'm working on my tourney game. Hope to see you at a final table. I feel your pain on the second place finish. I've actually never taken 1st in an MTT. Many final tables, most of them resulting in 2nd-4th place, never 1st. sucks.
-
good news is that my roommate is still in with a good stack. BLMPKIN 11k in chips. GrinderMJ still hanging in with around 4k.
-
one hand is haunting me. Ks4s in bb, sb limps, flop comes AQ3 two spades. he bets 4/5 pot. I then, get this - min-raise. Thinking back this was a terrible move. He pushed, I folded, bad fold. And I'm out as a I type. Made a move on a multi limped pot from the bb preflop and got 2 callers. shit.
