Re:What would you do JJ ?
Just by bet sizing I would put him on some sort of spade draw.

Re:Optimal line - shove flop w nuts or slow play?
Just look at it this way, you got what you wanted. If you let another card peel, is that going to keep you from getting your money in on the turn anyways' If a K spiked on the turn, would you muck your boat' Either way works-- as long as you get the $$ in the middle, which you did.

Finding time to play...
I know as a part time poker player we simply can't log the hours of a grinder, pro, or other full time player. Trying to balance school and two jobs is hard enough, then you gotta throw in the social life. The answer to when can I fit poker in would be easy in this case: whenever I can. My question to everyone is how do they balance their lives and stay at the top of the leaderboard' What do you do that frees you up for the majors on Sunday' During the week' Any and all feedback can help a great discussion.

Stepping up to MTTS: 180s vs 2000+
Just want to get some of the MTT reg's thoughts on this. For a player who is highly profitable at 180s, what is the biggest difference in making the transition to 2000+ field MTTs' JZ

UB Bonus Question
111% dep. bonus on UB for new players. If I wanted to do the whole ~$650 deposit, what games should I be playing to take advantage of the 111% bonus and make it clear the fastest' I am comfortable 6-8 tabling. Any advice helps. JZ

Re:turbos vs non turbos
This isn't uncommon, but its still early for you. Turbos reach push/fold strategy much quicker than the regs, so although you would probably be ITM more with the regs, you can grind these at a much faster rate utilizing push/fold.

Re:Is this standard from the button? 4.40 / 180
He went to a few showdowns pretty light. Obv raise from my position, but what I really need advice on is that is there ANY way I can get away from this' Given that he WSD pretty light, I was certain TPTK was good in this spot. Also, what range do you put on semi-loose flatters from the button' I was a little suspicious because any thinking player would repop here with AA, and disguise his hand-- as the button is a great spot to resteal from. Guess I gotta fire another one up! Thanks for any/all advice guys.

Advice for card dead players
Just on a bad run I guess. Haven't seen a pp JJ+ in 20 games at least. Any advice on what to do' I keep finding myself short on the bubble bc I simply have zero hands to play. When I get a raiseable hand in LP, a big stack opens for like 4-5 bb and I miss my chance to steal with my AJo. I've been trying to mix up my play w/ suited connectors early and seeing cheap flops, but I just haven't been hitting. I want to avoid having to force trying to make plays with bad hands and donking off my stack. I appreciate any input. Thx.

Good MTT Statistics
I am a beginner to MTTs. I've been pretty much dominating low stake SNGs lately and I wanna take a step towards MTTs. Any advice' What are the percentages of ITM/FT/WIN for beginner MTTers and what are the same percentages for solid MTTers' I just wanna know how to judge my MTT play. I have cashed in a few tourneys, as you can see in my profile, but I am more interested in how many am I supposed to be cashing/ft/winning in' What tourneys should I be trying' My BR hovers around $1k, give or take $150 (obv brag lol, not). Thx for any input.

Re:Correct to raise flop? - $20NL
You may be correct on his hand range, but I don't see how anyone would let go of 99-TT in this spot. If the board wasn't so draw heavy like j 3 6 rainbow, then I'd slow roll the nuts. I put him on something like AX or low pp. Still, good play.

Re:Correct to raise flop? - $20NL
In this case you made the correct play. Since you have been picking up his blinds the villain was probably making an ego repop with a marginal hand at best. Do not let the villain see another card with his A9o and let him hit his gutshot. Nice hand.
