I mean c'mon bro you can't talk about shit like this in a vacuum. You give us no in game intelligence whatsover. Each spot and villian is different and should be played as such. And just cause OB doesn't mean you should.

Post a hand/create a scenario related to the topic.

I know there's a huge thread about it, but it's not on the front page and I haven't heard anything in a while. Also, I have a security key for my account...I think you need to get a new one every few years...by the time we are even allowed to access our accounts, we won't be able to access our accounts.

I heard from a reliable source that it will be at least another half of a year until anything substantial is done in regards to players getting paid.

[sirswish6 i mean super business]

lol

haha

[treefiddy67]

I heard that if you accept email from administrators and create all the shortcut links on your computer you dont get rivered as much

[nagnog]

this sounds right but, source please?

[mdshack14]

I actually heard the exact opposite. I leads to getting rivered about 47% more actually.

[treefiddy67]

Man i ljove WHISKEY

[Izaak]

E.g I'm in the big blind with a2. Donk shoves 100 big blinds I have 100 bbs too and this is a mtt 1000 players, I'm playing ftw don't care about getting into the money. If it's folded to me should I call? In general if I survive to the late stage of the tournement I'm likely to successfully outplay alot of players. So my first goal is to make it there with a stack around 20 bb plus. If a 60/40 gamble right to take at this early stage?

[scottypimpin1]

Just wondering, but what would your reasoning be for ever calling there? Coin flips are never a good spot to be in the early stages of a tournament

[ronnieb122 Will clean your car for a badge]

i cant think of a spot im ever calling off 100bb with a2 regardless of the tourney stage

[thevirus217]

i think your aim should be to find the guy whos willing to call off 100bbs with a2, wait for a hand and take his chips.. Edited By: thevirus217 Jan 11th, 2012 at 08:18 PM

[RedIceRap Redirator]

no offense man but if ur asking if u can call 100bb with A2 i doubt ur able to outplay anyone in the late stages.

I was thinking the exact same thing. Also thinking that you're 60/40 in that spot most of the time is ridiculous as well.

[kevlar]

I try to avoid big flips usually but surely u understand what hes saying, what if we change it from A2 to like AQs ? are people willing to take the risk early on to double up and have a better chance in the tourney ? or do you feel theres enough of an edge over the fish that you dont need to put your tourney life on the line early on ?

[RedIceRap Redirator]

some do this with AA! if i see somebody do this with like any suited ace or bad hands in general then i like to call the 100bb. could imagine that some will disagree there, but if it's a daily tourney i do it, since AQ dominates a good part if a shoving range there. why u guys keep saying that it's a flip most of the time? biggest part of a 100bb donk shoving range are aces and pockets. even if u take suited connectors in this range ure just completely crushed with A2.

just checked it in pokerstove, someone who shoves 55% of all hands will win over 50% against A2o

[josephf]

I like to see more flops and stuff with hands like A2 suited in poistion earlier in tournaments. But only for cheap. Not a good hand or spot to gamble with in my opinion. I would probably call with AQ suited though for a gamble.

Made a pretty deep run in Event 1. 200 or so left, about 130 cash. Had 30k and blinds were 500/1000. Limp with QJ suited, several other limpers. Board is J44. Bet 2k, everyone folds except a loose old dude. Next card is an A. I check, old dude bets 3.5k. I call. I check river dark and it happens to be a J to give me my boat. Villain bets 6.5K, I shove and of course he flips over his quad 4s. So sick.

Not tryin to be a smartass but u need to hire a coach/watch some training videos. You played preflop and every street pretty badly there.

[TripleFo]

What would have been the optimal way to play that hand? I was UTG +2 on a super limpy table. I had 30K and Villain had 40K and was in MP.

[vinaykumar]
