"Rebuy tournaments are my favorite types of tournaments to play. I am not much of a gambler away from poker; I rarely play table games like craps or blackjack and I never bet on sports. My tournament style, and overall poker style for that matter is more of a tight aggressive style, but during rebuy tournaments I use a different strategy that is fun to play and has given me a great deal of success in the past."

Someone cheated.... -
are you saying Jsup stole the article? or that gowen took the ideas from jsup?
-
are you implying Jsup is actually Clonie Gowen?
-
Not the "Re-buy" vs "Rebuy"...
I don't see what the big deal is, really. Completely different. -
that is some pretty funny stuff................. gg plaigarism
-
im saying that Clonie copied Jsups first paragraph word for word
-
I get 10% commission on any lawsuits Jsup.
-
I bet the most likely scenario is something like this:
FTP requires some of their pros to write strategy articles. Clonie has an assistant, or "trusted friend" hired to handle such responsibilities. The third party completely drops the ball, blatantly plagarizes, Clonie gives it a quick glance, and unknowingly approves.
Something like that - or...she just go PWNED by P5's!
Either way, So much for "Learn from the Pros" -
Clonie or not, someone straight jacked Jsup's article.
-
I think your all missing the point this proves that Jsup and Clonie Gowan are the same person.
-
LOL, homer, its early, my sarcasm detector isn't working yet, I'm assuming your kidding, if not that is pretty hilarious.
-
Clone Gowan?
-
Probably so...but you'd think that she'd have him write something new or at least change it up.
-
Didn't Jsup cheat? he posted it on april 12th and her article was sent on the 10th? or am i misreading something?
-
p5's article was up in october...
-
oops, sorry my mistake heh.
-

I know a good lawyer if you need one, although there really arent any money damages, suing FTP and her individually would create some nice ass drama.

Hello donkeys and donkets....i wake up this morning to see an IM from my friends at pocketfives l saying i got plagerized...confused i sign on to pocketfives and see this post....and im still confused....i 100% write everything that has been in my articles for pocketfives and cardrunners, and i specifically remember writing this article after i won the rebuy tournament at foxwoods, because adam said he wanted me to write about it for pocketfives....i still dont know if this is a joke or not, if she actually posted an article about rebuys that contains an exact paragraph from an article that i wrote...if it is a joke made by the origanal poster then lol haha and all that shit, but if this actually did happen then i will be checking into it and doing something about it....who steals someone elses writing???? off to the borgata to bubble in a tournament....anyone who wants to PM me about it with any information or whatever feel free...and thanks dexter for pointing this out...gl and ty 4 da bj

I am not much of a gambler away from poker; I rarely play table games like craps or blackjack, and I never bet on sports. My tournament style, and overall poker style for that matter, is generally tight-aggressive, but during re-buy tournaments, I use a different strategy that is fun to play and has given me a great deal of success in the past.
That said, there are some things you should consider when you play a re-buy tournament. The first thing to keep in mind is that you have to budget a lot more money for the tournament than just the initial buy-in. I budget for the initial buy-in, two re-buys, and the add on. So, if I am playing a $1,000 re-buy event, I will show up with $4,000. This gives me the opportunity to play the event correctly.

</TD></TR><TR vAlign=top><TD>In a re-buy tournament, you can present your opponents with an image that you will later exploit in the tournament. Early on, I will often make unorthodox moves, pushing chips and building a hyper-aggressive image. Then, when the re-buy period ends, I revert back to my normal tight-aggressive style, and I tend to get paid off on all my big hands. The key to creating this image and opportunity, however, lies in budgeting enough money and a willingness to take risks. If you are not willing to invest enough money to make some re-buys and for the add on, then you should reconsider playing the event. You may catch cards and win a lot of pots and therefore never need to make a re-buy, but if you dont at least have that opportunity, than you are at a disadvantage.
There is one important factor in a re-buy tournament that you will have no control over, and that is your table draw. Before the start of a re-buy tournament, tournament directors will post the breakdown schedule for that tournament. This lists the order in which the tables will be broken down as players are knocked out of the tournament. A good table draw has you sitting at a late break table. A bad table draw breaks early. I am always willing to invest more re-buys in a tournament when I am seated at a late break table simply because if I lose those chips, I will have a lot of time to win them back after the re-buy period ends. If my table is scheduled to break early and I donate a lot of chips to those players, I will not have the opportunity to exploit my newfound loose image to win them back.
When it comes time for the add-on, many players question whether or not they should take it. I suggest always taking the add-on unless your chip stack is in the top 20% of chip stacks after accounting for the other players taking their add-ons. This will help make sure you do not find yourself at a disadvantage when the real play starts.
So, if you find yourself playing with me at your next re-buy tournament and you notice that I am gambling it up, be careful! When you call my all in bet after the re-buy period ends, you are likely to find yourself staring down at the business end of the stone cold nuts!
