Accidently joined limit holdem SNG

#1 14th April 2007, 5:47 PM

Like the thread said... I accidently joined a limit holdem SNG thinking it was NLH. This isn't the first time either... I ended up winning the thing heads up against a guy who also accidently joined.

Almost always when I join a limit SNG by accident I win the bloody thing. I know little about limit holdem strategy though... but perhaps I should look into it

Yah, I've done this a couple of times before as well. Dull, aren't they?

They are kinda cool when the blinds get high.
Everytime it happens, I won't even notice for a couple of hands and keep wondering why people are microreraising and won't just push all in. Until i'm dealt a playable hand and realize why.

Am I the only one that does these on purpose?

#6 14th April 2007, 9:04 PM

No.. there's you, and the 8 others ;-)

And very unusual. I played these limit sng's for a long time. We would get these people regularly and loved it. About 3rd or 4th hand they would say " OMG is this limit??"
We would die laughing. They almost always played terrible because they were in a hurry to get out or had no clue how to play limit. Some would even post and fold cause they couldn't bear it. Lots of bad language.

One thing is certain. I never saw one of them place in the money lol.

I payed $11 to play... So I gave my best to get it back :P
I did read a LHE strategy guide a while back, so I'm not totally oblivious to limit holdem ;-)
And I only confessed to accidently joining when I was in the money.

Good for you - that is why you won. Most NL players wouldn't have your patience. After playing NL myself for almost a year I wouldn't like limit myself lol.

I really like to play HORSE to break up my routine, so have had to learn LHE...it is growing on me I must say. But I must admit there's not much worse than accidently finding your self in a large tourney.....limit.....takes a whole day, I swear.

#11 5th July 2007, 10:47 PM

Hm. Bumping my old thread.
Same thing happened. Accidently joined a 10-seat SNG Turbo LHE and won.
Maybe I should play LHE instead of NL. I'm having a 100% winrate for accidently joined LHE SNGs :P

#12 5th July 2007, 11:00 PM

I saw an $11 buy-in tournament, 96 entrants. Took over 4 hours......

360 entrants is 6 hours

God I would hate to see a limit tournament with 3k people.....

#13 5th July 2007, 11:05 PM

haha, I've joined one by accident once, and i made the money. Didn't really know what I was doing either

#14 6th July 2007, 6:23 AM

Just the other day I joined what I thought was a NLHE SNG.

Imagine my surprise when I was dealt 4 cards.

Ended up being pot limit omaha hi low...

#15 6th July 2007, 3:14 PM

I remember I accidently joined a razz SNG on full tilt. I had no idea how to play...so I kept raising and reraising every hand I had.

And I won it. Razz Aggression.

#16 6th July 2007, 7:00 PM

Ive twice done this now and each time came out rather well

1st time on Full Tilt came 4th in 3hrs and the just last week on Pokerstars 4th again out of 540 runners and a 6 hour marathon.

So im not sure if it is good thing or not lol - nice for bank roll but bad for sleep lol

#17 6th July 2007, 7:22 PM

I once joined what I thought was a NLHE SNG and it turned out to be a LHE SNG, so...

I fell asleep

I did this once. Funny thing was 7 of the 10 players were there by accident. It was pretty comical. I tried to play but it was so freaking boring, I bailed on it a short way in. I asked the site to refund me fully expecting them not to but to my surprise, they did!

#19 7th July 2007, 6:28 AM

I joined an Omaha s&g once by accident and ended-up winning it too.
I remember that some times it was rather tough to figure out the best hand with the 2 out of 4 pocket cards.
I think it takes a lot more concentration than Hold'em.

#20 8th July 2007, 11:46 AM

It happens to me all the time i join wrong sit n goes. I usualy play NL holdem and the interesting fact is all the time i oined wrong ones i won them like omaha /limit wich i never play funny. Once i joined a multy table torney 20$ freezout i thought it was NL but when the torney started i realized it was limit i was so pissed if i`d noticed that earlier i would unregister but gues what i WON it and got 1600$ 1st place prize this was the only limit multy table torney i played
