idk it really matters on villain 100% if he's not stupid he's never limping anything (other than aa, kk, etc) utg at t100 and peve thought that was out of line.I can see why he doesn't think his queens are good on that flop. villain even OVERbet the turn when his trap didn't work, trying to get value.if villain is actually a winning player I'd NEVER play tptk, given the preflop action I think that's totally key.

Admittedly, maybe the play changes at $50, but at the $5 ones I'm playing, plenty of pots are limped preflop, even at $50/100. What I find tends to happen is there are two or three limpers, someone pushes for $1,300 or something and everyone else folds, or there's six limpers to the flop.

I'm playing the 5.50s right now and I'm not seeing many limpers at t100 in ep. once in a while you can see a limp train but it's not as common as it used to be, game is getting harder that's for sure.

Even if i choose to check AQ in the BB to one limper, at the very least I'm going to bet out to see what's up. I can shut it down, but if you're not going to bet with that strong a hand vs. one opponent, you might as well set yourself to away and hope you limp into the money.

If that's the way you play, then fine. But I think it's a little too passive. You're still allowed to help yourself and knock out other players.

Tighten yes, but you are far from sure... I just finished a DoN where we still had 8 players in the game with the BB at 600.Also had one that was finished with blinds at 15/30 all 5 eliminated by one guy. the other 4 players including myself all had within 100 of the starting stack still :PI didn't have a good run today.I tried one of 10.4$ and got eliminated when my TT got beaten by 77. so I started with 10$ loss. The 5.2's I was playing then I did bad too, partly because I was too pissed off by the bad beat in the 10$ one, partly because of bad luck so I won only 3 of 8. which means another 10$ loss.So I took a small break and then started playing until I had recovered my loss which took way too long!!I finished today with 35 won of 64 games. only about 55%.. 17.2$ profit or only 6.8$ if you count the 10.4$ one too.My average 5.2$ winning% dropped from 62.7% to 61.1%

easy push, for me. What are we waiting for in the next few hands as the antes knock $30 per hand off our stack. We need to double and hope one of the other shorties goes out.

I used to lean more towards folding there... but lately whenever i'm short but one guy is shorter and I wait for him to have to take a risk first, he usually manages it and by then i'm so short that I have to go at it with a crap hand. (If the SB folds now, then you will be the first one forced all-in by the blinds)So today i'd push... but ask me again in 3 days and I might fold again +15.6$ on 5.2$'s today-20.8 on 10.4$ (0 on 2 games) ... I lost AK against 44 all in preflop and a set of fours against a straight draw that gets completed on the river while I overbet the pot on the turn to make sure no goofy straight draws could call.So even though i'm 0/3 so far. It doesn't seem the play is more advanced in the 10.4$'s. It took 2 bad beats and a coinflip loss against a marginal hand to prevent me from cashing.

A fellow poster of mine in the army thread has moved from the 5s to the 10s to the 20s and took his first dip in a 50 last night. He said, essentially, there was no difference in play in any of the levels.

Great! That's very good to hear. I'm going to try to move up as fast as my bankroll allows me to.

I don't really have a lot of time to play these, but here's what I've done so far:$10: 73-56$20: 125-794-table most of the time. I experimented with different ways to play these in the $10, that's why the win rate is so average. I've ran pretty bad in the $20's also. As soon as I get back to school in Jan, I'm going to start the $50's. It's not really worth the time if you're not beating at least the $50's.

should I fold this? two players will get eliminated if I fold without any risk for me (unless two have KK and split). Against 3 players AA isn't that big a favorite anymore. most likely less than 50% chance against 3 random hands which is too low for these games where you want a winning% of 60% or higher.To remind myself of the risk I lost AA to QJ on an other table at the same time. he goes all-in (overbetting pot) on Q high flop so I call his scared all-in bet and he gets a second Q on the turn.I couldn't get myself to fold though and this is the result, but would any of you fold here? or would you just like me think this is something that needs to be folded but not actually do it.PokerStars Game #23146432480: Tournament #128705940, $5.00+$0.20 Hold'em No Limit - Level I (10/20) - 2008/12/22 4:48:19 ETTable '128705940 1' 10-max Seat #5 is the buttonSeat 1: EPIKOUROS (1500 in chips) Seat 2: bfal2 (1490 in chips) Seat 3: bartyman85 (1720 in chips) Seat 4: sose carlos (1220 in chips) Seat 5: BBAAEEMM (1470 in chips) Seat 6: diecis (1590 in chips) Seat 7: Dizzyjon33 (1500 in chips) Seat 8: Weandago (1460 in chips) Seat 9: H-Aleksej-H (1550 in chips) Seat 10: Frentyman (1500 in chips) diecis: posts small blind 10Dizzyjon33: posts big blind 20*** HOLE CARDS ***Dealt to Weandago [Ah Ad]Weandago: raises 60 to 80H-Aleksej-H: folds Frentyman: folds EPIKOUROS: folds bfal2: folds bartyman85: folds sose carlos: raises 1140 to 1220 and is all-inBBAAEEMM: raises 250 to 1470 and is all-indiecis: calls 1460Dizzyjon33: folds Weandago: calls 1380 and is all-inWeandago said, "help!"*** FLOP *** [7s 8s 4c]EPIKOUROS said, "lol"*** TURN *** [7s 8s 4c] [4h]*** RIVER *** [7s 8s 4c 4h] [9c]*** SHOW DOWN ***diecis: shows [Qs Qh] (two pair, Queens and Fours)BBAAEEMM: shows [As Ac] (two pair, Aces and Fours)BBAAEEMM collected 20 from side pot-2 Weandago: shows [Ah Ad] (two pair, Aces and Fours)Weandago collected 360 from side pot-1 BBAAEEMM collected 360 from side pot-1 sose carlos: shows [Kd Td] (a pair of Fours)Weandago collected 2450 from main potBBAAEEMM collected 2450 from main pot*** SUMMARY ***Total pot 5640 Main pot 4900.

So what. With 10 players left eliminating 2 doesnt really help you that much. Blinds are still small, and you are still fighting against the other 7 players when you still all have the same amount of chips. And jeff, i dont think this is a matter of being 'good enough' to fold. I think its a matter of being not bad enough to fold
