Re(1): IM SICK OF BINGO IN THE TURBO 90 MAN KO please change these back to regulars ftpdoug
Disagree, these things are the greatest ever, wish they had them at higher levels too. They put people at different sizes throughout and really tests who the good players are. The good players know how to play well not only with deepstack but they also know how to play the shortstack too.

Re(3): Three handed 4.40sng
Vilains calling ranges will consisit mainly of strong aces which dominate ur ace rags, so suited connectors will have more equity in pots since they are much more unlikely to be dominated.

Re(5): PearlJammer Shortstack Sunday Mil preflop raises
I'm sure he raise folds some of the time otherwise he would be extremely exploitable. Although I haven't played with Pearljammer often enough to know how often he is raise folding with these stacks. If hes doing it often enough though he is just spewing imo.

Re(5): PearlJammer Shortstack Sunday Mil preflop raises
The hands that people are calling with pre are generally going to be out of the blinds which will both be behind his opening range and out of position in which case they are just spewing chips. Edit: Forget this I dont know pj game

Re(3): PearlJammer Shortstack Sunday Mil preflop raises
pearljammer is almost never raise folding with those stacks, he allows his opponents to think they have fold equity and push over the top hands that they would not be calling his shoves with.

Re(1): Can anyone find a fold here??? (Super Tuesday)
I probably dont fold here but if tunafish has any idea what hes doing the only hands I can see him limping with that chipstack are AA or KK. Once he shoves river he isnt bluffing with kings and can only have aces.

Re(2): Standard SNG spot...what to do...
its too early to shove with this many blinds to pick up the 150 in the pot, and you are racing at best when called.

Re(1): Standard SNG spot...what to do...
Easy fold, 6's dont play well enough postflop for the times u get flatted. When you get reraised you are racing at best and raise folding with 13 blinds is complete spew.

Re(1): sigh pocket kings (not a cooler/badbeat post)
Fold seems fine, doubt he reraises AQ pre at this stage of the tourny. Most people are only reraising JJ+ and AK and I think he shutsdown with AK here on this board.

Re(1): All time low...How do you guys deal with these swings? Its a long read with no cliff notes
I played a little 2/4 with you, and your game overall was pretty solid but could use a little work at lower limits. You were playing a little overagressive and weren't able to adjust once people are starting to look you up light. Instead of tilting and playing more hands try tightening up and playing solid poker and use your tilted image while you get paid off with your hands. For now I'd reccomend sticking to what you have been succesfull in MTTs. Even though you have had some trouble in them the past few months, we all know the varriance of MTTs is a bitch and is probably one of the main ...

Re(1): AA fun spot stars 300
Deshen raises pre under the gun with maybe 88+ and AQ+. Your reraise represenets a tremendous ammount of strength so Stuman can only be calling here with QQ-AA or AK, he may shove over some of these. Deshen calls pre with his mid pairs for set value knowing he has good implied odds (may be weak and just call with AK) and shoves over with AK and QQ+. Flop stuman is betting here with AA, KK, and AK, he checks behind with QQ hoping there is some showdown value. Deshen shoves here with AK or 99.

Re(8): Is this an awful call?
These are the exact type of calls you need to make and win tournaments. 77 is ahead of the opponents shoving range, and by folding you are passing up a +EV opportunity to get the chips that will allow you to run over your table and get in a position to win the tournament.

Re(1): END GAME
Plain and simple get agressive late, put in a few resteals with marginal hands and you will pick up the pot often since opponents are playing tight to move up the ladder. Don't be afraid to gamble to pick up lots of chips so you can play for the win too.

Re(1): FT bubble of last nights nightly 100k stars, advice please
I shove, I think you have some fold equity here, if he was going to call i think he would just shove and is leaving himself room to fold. Gambling here also gives u a stack with which you can use to abuse the bubble.

Re(1): I want to teach somebody.
I am 18 and have been playing online for 2 years. I started out in playmoney and after making accumulating millions of play chips, sold them and started building a roll from there. I started by griding single table but eventaully moved onto 4.40 180's (Used to play them with you,lol). I have dabbled in cash and sit and goes since, but my primary focus has been to improve my MTT game as I have always found them most enjoyable. Right now I am working on opening up my game more. I feel my current style is too nitty and robotic. Along with this I feel like my postfop play is a bit weak and would ...

FT Bubble fold/call?
Friend had to go so I'm playing the 5r for him, I am abusing the final table bubble picking up 2/3 of the pots and no one is doing anything about it, 88 is ahead of his range but calling could end the bubble and my chance to pick up chips.
