What tournament/ring game are you currently on? (part deux)

made it to the second break. I dont play many tournys at all and am just getting into them so this is the farthest ive ever been. 1-63rd is paid. Originally 749 entrants. Im currently in 204 out of 294. Have 10K in chips, roughly 6K below average. I didnt do the addon at break or any rebuys which maybe i should have. Oh well, see how far i can get, prolly gonna have to make a move soon.

Look to double up Troy, POSITION use it ... if you have Ax on the button or cutoff and everyones folded to you go all-in. Dont try this if anyone limps or raises in front of you, ONLY if they've folded to you in cuttoff or the DB.

Heads up gives a shortstack an edge, ofcourse stack size makes a differance too, I wouldnt try it with Ax if the stack to my left is 2X over the average he might call you just cause he can afford it. If a chip leader is to your left when you try that hold out for A/J and better for an all-in move.

If the chip stacks to your left are less than 3X yours try it with Ax.

Good luck

Thanks daman, what does DB stand for? Button i assume? Thanks again, ill let you know how it turns out

yep DB= Dealer buttom

won a few pots, up to 18k, 188 left

Absolute? Whats your handle? I might railbird a while .. just got knocked ot of mine.

Never mind I found ya ... 18 k doing good the avg is near 30k right now but no reason to panic ... good time to just play solid ... survival and move up with the nutz if ya get them.

troyer16, whats a railbird?

Railbird is someone who watches the game from the "rail" so to speak.

I'm afraid to give advice LOL .... you're doing pretty good I don't know your ecperiance. 1200 blinds this is the fun part of the tournament for me.

Watch out for Lilly .. push HodgePodge if you can if everyone folds to you in cuttoff and you have an Ace.

Play your game don't listen to me or tell me to shut up if ya want.

Cant talk as a railbird in Absolute Poker.

hahah no i appreciate all the advice possible, can you see my hole cards as a railbird? also should i push hodgepodge if it folds to me with any ace, even ace 2? thanks

Actually now your down to 13k and the blinds are 1600, you need an all-in hand High pairs, A/K or A/Q ... I would try any ace if I'm in late position and everyone folded to me in cuttoff or DB at this point.

exactly what i was thinking, thats only 8 BB, just enough to exert a small amount of authority, and maybe put a dent in a bigger stack, or get an average stack to fold and take the blinds. I've been waiting for one and havent seen a hand in forever.

hahah I'm rootin for ya and trying to phsyicly get you some good cards

haha thanks

Cool a break ... kinda like a time out in football. It's all-in or all-out ... I really like this part of a tournament .... you can come back and win it from here. I've done it many times. Just need a little luck and a couple of double ups to make you intimidating,

Hope ya get some good cards and flops after break.

blinds are gonna be 1000/2000, thats 1/5 my stack. i might push with any Ace

Depending on your read of what's ahead of you yeah. I still will fold to a rise and a re-raise in front of you with Ax .... A/J or better any position .. Ax with no more than 1 limper and no re raise's.

In LP Ax is all-in if folded around to me.

was about to push with A 8 put someone raised 5k infront of me

pushing with KQ, not the best but havent seen anything in forever
*edit* just doubled but still wicked short stacked. Need to push a few more times prolly.

yeah! K/Q worked ... nice ... more more

just got knocked out. 3 1/2 hours for nothing

Bah! ya had fun and got experiance ... was a GG and good run ya don't always get that far.

Suited A/9 UTG short stacked wasn't a bad move ... some people like it .. but theres a reason the pro's say "POSITION, POSITION, POSITION' you just doubled up I would have folded that in EP and waited a bit more.

I want the edge even shortstacked ... too many positions in front of you who can have anything.

Easy for me to say after the fact... I'm not criticizing you specificly .. I see that play a lot and sometimes it pays off ... that's a difficult situation to each their own. I just like using position when shortstacked and will fold even A/J in EP if I think I will be challenged down the line.

Still 104 is a good run against 749 entrys.

yeah thanks for all the help and cheering! had outs too after the flop, club or an ace.

Owww, stupidly attacked the chip leader. Went out in 41st place. That was a dumb thing to do, could probably have folded my way to the final table.

Och och and och sorry to hear that man......i always wanna belive chip leader is just a bully and he never has it...best of luck to you on the rest of your day!

Lol, yes. That`s exactly what I thought.

freeroll mtt on absolute...wait nevermind i just went out

I think that more then I should...but hell the chip leader can play any two cards at any given time and be fine with it....i almost got a satalite to the WSOP last year but I got into it with the chip leader and fell 2 spots short of the sat $1,000 spending cash and hotel and airfair...but hey thats poker and damn i love this game!

Just to keep the post updated
