Something That's Been Bothering Me[ return to main articles page ]

If you can't take bad beats, don't play rebuy tournaments, and don't complain during the 1st hour for ANY REASON.

I've noticed in the last month so many people complaining or commenting when a person is playing loose and/or crazy during the 1st hour. Why on Earth would you want to change this? He/she is bringing chips to the table and giving everyone an advantage. I encourage this. I'd love to have 8 nuts on my starting table. The more the better.

I have a theory on rebuy tournies that has served me well, and bitching about loose play in the 1st hour is not included. If the play is wild, roll with it and adapt, you may just end up with a monster stack and a real chance to go deep. Ok, that's all I have to say.
