    Qq In The Sb Against An Almost 60/30 Player

    in Tournament Play

    Posted

    Calling the 50 bet into a 1100 pot is NOT a spew. Hes giving you greater than 20-1 to call there with you having a 10% chance of scooping it, assuming he has an A or J. As bad as a 10% chance is, the pot is worth it.
    also 20-1 are about break even odds for set-mining on the river, not considering implied odds.
    heh, i was never folding... just making a semi joke...s/w? didn't think it was needed. :club:

    Umm...how can we be advising on this hand without knowing the buyin or structure? This is probably a call in a $3 45 man turbo, but is a fold in a $10 MTT.
    i think a confident player at either level will fold here... sometimes it is about the buy-in, but in this case if you are playing to win it, and confident in your abilities you know another spot will come along, even in a 3$ 45 man turbo.why draw against that many hands for all the cheese so early on in any tourney/STT?

    assuming you play well, this is a clear fold. you'll likely find much, MUCH better spots to get your stack throughout the tourney. but, if you play that crazy style thats so successfully employed by some where accumulating a huge stack early on is how you like to roll, then go for it. but considering your question it seems you would benefit from just mucking here and waiting for a better spot.the old "at best a coinflip" also comes into mind, i doubt you are EVER dominating all of the hands.

    Check/calling flop >>>>>>> Shoving flop.You shove the flop and he can play perfectly. If you check, you give him a chance to bluff.As played I call and fold to most turn bets.
    so it really was that standard, just making sure... i called the 50 and even that felt like spew (nit).3rd jack rolls of on turn, i check he pushes i muck... sidenote: ended up busting him out in 4th, and he claimed to have 6-6 on that hand, so the micro stakes shock again.

    Probably check folding here on the flop and shoving the turn to any blank. Is that a horrible line to take?
    ok, well thats the line i intended on taking... but then this happened:Hero checks, UTG bets t50and yes, he has been just as loose calling re-raises as he has been making them... doubled early and riding the stack i think.

    Ok, been on hiatus from online poker and online in general, but had a few bucks kicking in my PS account and am taking a shot at the SNG orbit thing-a-majigs... anywhoo, PT stats for villain after 33 hands showing 61.2 VPIP, 27.3 PFR %... even though it is a small amount of hands, still odd enough to be semi-relevant.PokerStars No-Limit Hold'em Tourney, Big Blind is t50 (6 handed) Poker Stars Converter Tool from FlopTurnRiver.com (Format: FCP)BB (t1470)UTG (t3560)MP (t2170)CO (t1165)Button (t3530)Hero (t1605)Preflop: Hero is SB with Q :ts , Q :D . UTG raises to t100, MP calls t100, 2 folds, Hero raises to t500, 1 fold, UTG calls t400, MP folds.Flop: (t1150) J :D , A :club: , J :4h(2 players)I will stop there for now, as I would like to here what line some of you would take against this particular player.

    DN was asking Gus if he saw the hand that he folded to Daniel when DN had AA and gus had Ax. Gus said he didn't see the show.You think these guys really don't watch this show in particular to see how so and so payed a hand etc?Seems this would be a standard to watch, if they don't in fact get a copy of the show.
    the more i watch these, especially return players like gus, daniel, JC, etc, the more i notice that they seem to approach with a different style each time... for example this week, the commentators even picked up on it, daniel appeared to be trying his new limp style of poker, while gus is playing a pretty lock down game (cue broke gus rumours)so basically, i guess they could watch them, but the constant changing of gears and new approaches almost makes it pointless to watch for strategic value.although i may be wrong

    Higher Limit Sit N Go's

    on stars, i've noticed that in the higher limit sit'n'go's (100+), the turbos seem to be alot more popular, same with full tilt.we all know a longer, slower structure allows for skill to play a bigger roll, and at the higher limits i assumed most players have a good amount of skill (well maybe not all, but a good chunk)...so my question is why are the turbos so popular in the higher limit single table tourneys?the only possible reason i can think of is so one table doesnt last and hour and a half or 2 hours, but with multi tabling, does hourly rate really matter in STT's?thoughts?

    i read through the thread at 2+2 and raymers response...does anyone else get the feeling raymer's story of the guy being able to guess his PW is complete BS? it just seems a guy like raymer, intelligent and what not, would not have an easy to guess password, and is simply stating that is what happened to save pokerstars from any security backlash, or making other players panic?just a thought...
