Re:plo hand is this a cooler or shd i get away on the flop cas of his re raise?
If he only 3bets AAxx, then its a terrible call, yes. If he ever 3bets AKxx, 4567, etc you will make a big mistake folding, so without the knowledge of his 3betting-range, just call now, and adjust your callingrange later when you have proof of his true 3betrange.

Re:SnG Collusion??
It might be considered collusion, but imo its never collusion when you are not getting an unfair edge imo. If you do use your partners "tells" on your opponent, that he got through the 1st match, then its collusion imo. Cause you get an unfair edge you wouldnt have if not.

Re:what you think about poker players that chat much in online mtt's ?
One that chats is 99,999% of the time NOT a "MTT-pro". He can still be an awesome player, like a cashgame pro that is having his sunday off the cashtables. Most of the time its a recreational player who is having a good time, or old friends that meet on the table. You'll obv see more chatting in the end of the normal sessions for the MTT-pros though.

Re:I SERIOUSLY need help..
For the "pokerindustry" to live, we need players like you. On the other hand, you should seriously consider quitting poker, if you are a smart 21 year old, and still cant handle the bankrollmanagement and discipline, then poker is simply not for you. You have to learn to live with your problems, give up poker as a source of income, and accept it as a hobby you can play every now and then when you have the time.

Re:Pokerstars - Please Fix Your Timebank!
The timebank should reload to 60-120-180-240, or whatever when you : 1) Reach final 2 tables (after bubble, OBV) 2) Reach final table 3) top 3/HU something like that, having the timebank reloaded to full should be on all final tables imo. Having timebank at zero in majors is just ridiculous imo, 5min timebank on all major FTs, and 3min added when 3 left or something would be great imo.

Re:how to handle a month long downswing?
NLHU actually, still can't play 6max or fullring securely though. NLHU lets me focus on finding, and exploiting the opponents weakness, and I know enough of my game to know when to stop playing players. Took me about 3-4months to get to the point where I felt secure enough to quit my work though, but I tried for 2 years playing MTTs :).

Re:how to handle a month long downswing?
If you can't have fun playing, or can't trust your profitability, then you shouldn't play. I quit having MTTs as my main poker in 2007 after approx 2000 tournaments going even (had 100% ROI run on the previous 2000 tours). Now I only play tourneys when I feel like it, and found my secure game in cashgames. If you absolutely don't want to start finding a cashgame you can 'crush', then consider only playing tournaments with fewer participants for a while (180s, 90s, 45s, etc). GL

Imagine the numbers of first-depositors this can bring! Whatever brings more fish is good for me, so what if they crash one sunday.

Re:cash game question (as broad as it gets)
Hand 1 : 3 limpers, u have xx in BB, checked to river KJ264, u bet 5x pot and get called by 44 and lose... Hand 2 : one raiser one caller, u call with 35, same board and action, u bet 5xPot and he calls with QQ. Thats simplified, but shows a way to use it.

Re:Is using the ICM a big part of your game?
It flips ur close calls to easy calls, or easy folds late in MTTs. It can also in some cases make ur easy folds easy calls, and easy calls easy folds... Having a clue about how it works helps alot imo.

Re:verbal betting in a live tournament
As others said... This is why "everyone" raise to 525, 5025, etc in tourneys live. Always bet with at least 2 chips, and u never have a problem.

Re:A stupid spot in $11 rebuy with 99 what shall we do guys?
I fold, even if he is opening wide, he pretty much never have bad equity against 9s, its a 10R, you should look for better spots than risking a decent stack for a small edge (I would think KQ/AQ/AJ/AK/JJ/TT as the most probable hands against, AA/KK-push here is very rare, and so is small pair push.

Re:Is this a call??
You should be ahead of his range, he probably folds 66 there though, and maybe AJ, so with players behind you, a fold is my choice with the feeling u have. If I where in BB, I would definitly call, since I have no other players to be scared of.

Re(1): Does variance go against why we play in the first place?
When u play MTTs, u will never be good enough to get away from the emotional rollercoaster the variance brings. For the sake of humility and learning, I believe any MTT-er should experience the pain of running on a 2000+ tourney downswing, and with the volume most winning p5-ers have, most of them are favourites to run into one too.

Re(1): gross spot - fold nut FH?
You are uncertain, you have great odds, and you will kill yourself if he doesnt have the Q. All plenty good reasons to call IMO.

Re(1): 22R final table last night WTF!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
He obv didnt wanna play a 320k-stack when next one had 600k, he was ready to gamble. J8o isnt that often dominated by your push here (you show low pp, AK/AQ here tons of times). Add the 200k dead in the pot, and u see why he calls. Anyway, why do you want to know why ppl make bad calls' Just accept it and rely on them continuing their stupidity.

Re(1): So I moved all-in every single hand of the first hour in the $3r
I honestly have never ran this bad in my entire life If you seriously mean you have never run this bad in your life, than you most probably have misleading thoughts about what running bad really is.

Re(2): Tony G still a prick
I have to agree with FuzzyPuppy here. It's also clear by Tony G's actions that he clearly was aware of any cellphonerules, and waited till he was finished with his hand to use his phone. With the tension and focus strong players puts in these events, I can understand, but not support his actions after the dealer ruled his hand dead.

Re(4): BeLOWaBOVe...what did u do????
This situation is better described in Weird Al Yankovich's song "I was only kidding". Also one of the raps that eminem did in 8-mile comes to mind "... You look like a pissed off rapper who never made it..." Please show some respect, and realise that "get aids" is one more "funny comment" that's NOT accepted by pokerstars.
