Hey, i've played at casinos and the dealer always has to hit on soft 17, second of all who splits a 20. Your never suppose to split a winning hand.

Re(2): I'm not sure what to title this post. Does anyone recognize The_Toaster on UB
Well, like you said one day is one day. I can accept that but i lost alot of money on that one day. Some hands just wouldnt' hold, frustration took over, and i tried to force my way out of tought situations. i took most of the money off prior to monday b/c of what someone posted a frew weeks back about having his money stolen out of his accout. ironically the last withdrawl i made hasn't gotten to my neteller account yet and its quite frustrating. What i was also trying to emphasize was wether or not i was playing over my skill level by playing the 20s or if my play was weak. I was trying to ...

I'm not sure what to title this post. Does anyone recognize The_Toaster on UB
So i decided to play again after i was very much dicouraged by party poker. I started playing on UB 20 sng's. I played well over what my bankroll allowed but for the first few weeks i couldn't complain. I cashed out alot of my winnings, the past week and a half i raked in 700 + on UB 20 sng, and some 30 sng. I did however, lose the rest of my bank roll on Monday, i had 300 on there and i cashed out the rest the week before. I used Adam's strategy for the most part but adopted some of my own strategy as well. Played low pockets when i could, suited connectors in late position, some stealing. ...

I think my poker career is over, any advice?
Hey Guys- i started playing on pp a few weeks ago, it went well. I played mostly limit and some sng's. I finished in the money in a few sng's and mostly placed around 4 or 5. I used adam's advice on playing the top four hands but i noticed once you got down to the bubble period it was too late and the blinds were too big to do much. You had to risk your stack on the first decent hand and most likely it would get cracked. Also the players in those low limit sng's seem to be less experienced but it still seems difficult to beat them since they can hold any two cards. YOu may have ak and they ...

Question for Adam?
Hey Adam. i read your tournament strategy article for sng. I tried to use it, and had marginal luck with it. it may be the players i'm playing against or most likely me. Is there any other alternatives you can suggest to be successful at sng, or is there any one who gives lessons for a decent price. I would really appreciate any help. thanks ocon

Another Sit n go question
It seems like you have to play many sit n gos to learn the ins and out of tournament play. I'm up for that i like the sit n go's better any way. However, do you play the cheap ones to gain the experience or go out on a limb and play the 50-100 dollar ones to take down some wins along your path to learning. I've played many 100 on pokerroom and did really well a frew months back but now when i play i cant seem to get over the hump. What do you guys out thier recommend. Do you think i was to loose in the first few rounds of the tournament that is seeing to many hands' thanks to all that ...
