What is your strong game?

#1 5th June 2007, 12:53 AM

I'm just wondering what game you are the best at and which you love the most.

Me, I love turbos and rebuys. And my strong game is in 6 seater turbo SNGs. Now the only thing I have to learn is to stick with what I'm good at. I take all my winnings and donk them away at ring games.

I am worst during re-buys and low blinds - but once blinds are on the up and re-buys stop I am very good at stealing chips

Would agree with 6 seater and turbo

#3 5th June 2007, 3:16 AM

Recently, I've been getting better at big blinds because I find it's soooo easy to steal chips but until yesterday I never really played big blinds and it was really hard for me....

I hate rebuys, love turbos and usually do 6 seater SNGs.

I dont have a strong game, I depend entirely on flopology.

#5 5th June 2007, 3:47 AM

My strong game is Late MTT's
9 max NL cash is my favorite
I play mostly regular 9 seat SnG's

This is one of the most hilarious things I've read in a while. I'm hoping it's just meant for humor and not to be taken seriously.

STTs (mainly turbos lately) are my bread and butter. Maybe not because I'm that good at them, but because others are just so bad. Too weak/tight, too aggressive, too this, too that etc.

I just wish I had the patience and discipline to play more of them daily. I tend to get bored and/or frustrated very easily with em :/

+rep...almost exactly what I think. I mean every word came straight out of my brain.

#9 5th June 2007, 4:22 AM

shorthanded STTs (donkngo's)

#10 5th June 2007, 4:28 AM

I'm a tourney player almost exclusively. MIIs, usually big ones, or small buyins Average starting field- 1293 according to db. Mostly NLHE, or course, but I also play Omaha8,Horse,razz, and lately 5 draw tournies.

#11 5th June 2007, 4:34 AM

Never looked at it that way. I play hold'em. I don't look for other games. I have played 7 stud, Omaha, and a few other games that you just don't see any more.

Actually, I see a bit of wisdom in PSPs post- I think what he's referring to is the 4 player winner take akl double shooters offered at PS. I ued to play a number of them myself, at $10 a pop, 2 matches gets ya $40. I THINK that's what he's referring to- hope I'm not putting words in his mouth, or my foot in mine.

#13 5th June 2007, 4:52 AM

9 seat ring. Although this is a bit forced.

When I started out I felt that I played 45 seat SnGs best, but I don't have the time or patience to play for an hour+ very often. I figured it's better to focus on something and ring games are much more convenient.

#14 5th June 2007, 5:26 AM

I play MTT pretty well, but like NL, I simply can't be arsed to sit down for 4 hours straight every day. cash games' convenient. I can open up 4 tables and play for an hour or so, probably get to see 250-300 hands.

#15 5th June 2007, 7:22 AM

wiffleball is my best game.

#16 5th June 2007, 7:27 AM

MTT's either freeroll or low buyin (max 30$). Always end up donking away any money i put into ring games. Dont have the patience for it, it seems - or the skills.

Lol my problem too. But I think it's getting out of the mind set for tourneys that is the problem. It's the all or nothing to move on mindset that hurts in ring games.

#18 5th June 2007, 1:44 PM

Anything with a small field rebuys and turbos are my best freezeuts i suck at. turbo rebuys i am running very good at currently

#19 5th June 2007, 3:23 PM

Shorthanded ring is my favorite and my best for sure. I have been playing in more tourney's recently on FT and am getting better but that part of my game still needs a lot of work. I suck at Donk n Go's but have been running pretty bad at the cash tables as of late and need a little change of scenery for a little while so I might give them another go.

#20 5th June 2007, 3:29 PM

Strong games:

Regular 9 man sit n gos,
0.5/0.10 9 player ring game,
0.10/0.20 limit holdem and omaha hi/low

Weak games:

Heads up,
Late stages in a MTT,
All games apart from holdem and omaha hi/low,
Turbos.

#21 5th June 2007, 3:42 PM

I personally love sit n go turbos. I usually have about 4 going at any give time.

#22 5th June 2007, 7:29 PM

45-90 person SNGs and for ring I'd say I've had the best results at $1/$2 (Not that that means much, only played it once! haha, but still, you don't shake a stick at $800 when you only buoght in with $100)

#23 5th June 2007, 7:39 PM

Shorthanded ring games I suppose

#24 5th June 2007, 7:40 PM

I dont have the patience for ring games unless its in a live setting. Seems that for every dollar I manage to win in a ring game, I lose two.
MTT holdem and 7 stud make me the most money. If its any indication, I would be far more comfortable with putting up a $50 buy-in for a Stud tourney than I am Holdem. SNG has netted mixed success, but overall my bankroll seems to grow. I do very well in the big freerolls, but a $50 or $100 prize pool wont hold my interest for more than a few levels.

#25 6th June 2007, 1:29 AM

My best is omaha hi cash games and my worst is shorthanded tables or sngs.

#26 6th June 2007, 2:04 AM

Best is probably single table SNGs, worst is MTTs but I'm working on that...

#27 6th June 2007, 2:07 AM

Single table Turbos. I've played over 100 of them. They're quick and very easy to money in. It may sound counter intuitive with the blinds rising so fast I know, but patience rules in these games. The turbozos are so panicky that I rarely go more than 3 or 4 rounds before I get a good chance to double up. Then It's business as usual.

#28 6th June 2007, 3:38 AM

9 player SnGs. I started out with them, and I think I will always play them. I literally turned nothing into a little something by grinding in the five dollar SnGs at Pokerstars and Fulltilt.
I've also been playing 6 player SnGs lately, turns out I'm fairly decent at short handed play.

#29 7th June 2007, 6:24 AM

My fav is 9 player sng, but I seem to do well in mtt's at least thats what I tell myself. Played my first cards chat game today on bodog and came in 2, not too bad. I hate rebuys though that just makes the donkeys play worse then normal. Hate cash games online
