You mentioned that it is important for a backee to have played a "large volume". What would you consider to be a large volume when deciding whether to back a player? Thanks for the well.

nice score ari. and gg swool. he was in the chop for 16.

Sorry about your irrational and judgemental ex. i know u said that you 2 were great together but I think you deserve someone who is willing to respect and understand your profession. If done right poker can be great for a relationship. You'll find somebody that can appreciate that. Congrats on your win bro! You will find an ambitious female that digs the money you can make at the tables as well as the flexibillity you bring to the relationship. gl man

good advice and explanation adam_mc. I would shove or fold. They are are the best 2 options imo and it is completely player dependent. If he is unknown and seemed tight i would probably fold. I dont play the 100r but in most higher buyins this is usually a shove for me. tough spot though

cosign on ozzies first post. imo - blocking bets are a bad idea against thinking players. The majority of mid-higher stakes mtt players are not thinking players. Also, the blocking bet can always be renamed "a thin value bet with intention of folding to a raise" Pen is right on when he says that if you find yourself wanting to make too many of these bets you probably have some prflop leaks to plug. Folding QJs in that spot is often correct but if the opener plays poorly the call in that

this started as a whiny tilt post and turned into the first really good strategy post Ive seen here in quite some time. I agree with ajk as usual. Always love reading daut and wacos posts too.

thanks for that very helpful reply. I just received an email back from them and they have temporarily suspended the account and intructed me how to regain control of it. They actually responded fairly quickly. I still think they should have a phone # but they did a very good job at handling the situation. Thank you FTP!

I have lost control of my email and full tilt account. Ive obv already emailed them from a different address. I hear there is a number to call that isnt on there site. What is the best thing for me to do. appreciate all helpful replies. thanks. zurs

shoving 22 from the small blind w/20 bb is unexploitably profitable. u could turn ur hand face up and allow ur oppenet to play perfectly against u every time and still show a small profit. I dont really see any valid argument for playing this hand any other way. Raise folding in todays game is CLEARLY unprofitable. raise calling is fine i suppose but much higher variance than just open shoving. Limp reraise is probably best if bb is aggro. but most thinking players are aware of this on ur stack and

If it is so rare that 16 BB shoves ever show u anything worse that A2 then wouldnt raise folding become correct? Of course i mean raising ne2 for ur hand has no value except that there is one less ace in the deck. Its considerably less than half the time that 2 random hands will have one good enough to move in if what u say is true. Ultimately the correct answer is player dependent like any question worth discussing, but raise folding against lots of players will show a profit.
