No, you still want to play solid hands in position that flop well in multi way pots. You can kick up the vpip but still don't play every hand!

Hey Jeff. Big fan. I was wondering what your take on how this hand played out for me. Could I have played this differently resulting in a win? Thanks for your time by the way. Appreciate your input.

Hi Jeff,
I understand live tournament players travel alot to play in the best tournaments around the world. How do they afford the travel and accommodation expenses, are there ROI so high that it covers these costs ? do they take these expenses in to account when they calculate there equity in the schedule or are alot of these players sponsored ?
Cheers.

hello Jeff. hello all
I.m allready on pokerstars since a long time... not really playing often. But since I moved into this new home I enjoy some free time again on online poker.
Is this site interresting for any new discovery for a site like unibet or whatever because a lot of new pokerrooms did appear those last years ..
I like the move to be a part of a poker community too but not easy To be present everyday

Hello Jeff
I like playing S&G with turbo blinds ( 5 mins )
My biggest problem i think is middle game.
In the first blinds i like limping in with low suited connected ( 3/4 5/6 etc. ) or pocket`s.
I can easy fold a pair or a draw.
But as soon as mid game commes and blinds are like 100/200 with stack average of around 2/3k i feel like i lose to many chips there.
For example how would you on full table 9 players in early position play an AJs or 8`s if at all?
I seem to lose most with those seemingly strong hands but things tend to get crazy if I make it like 550 bet. A re-raise pre flop I can easy fold but after the flop it become much more difficult as I run in to q`s or k`s with a board J/8/2 having AJ for example
Should I play even more tight pre flop or is it my betting amount?

Hi
One of my nightmare hands is Ace with a small kicker. I play multi table tournaments only (until I can build a bankroll, I play in Americas Cardroom freerolls because I am from the US.) Is there a general rule of thumb to playing this hand. At this site everyone plays it suited or not suited, in any position and they bet heavy, what should I do please? thanks

calling pre flop raises
I find it to be impossible to get players to fold with a regular 3-4 times preflop bet. usually, I'll raise playing paint or AceTen to AK and sometimes suited AceX or better(Tenten and up) in late position. Without a double I get at least one call and usually they are calling with any 2 suited from 23 up. and other stuff like J9os Q6 etc... and of course sometimes the sleeper any pair. Is there anything that can be done to stop this from happening? Thanks.

MMT
Yes, its MMTs I don't play anything but Tournaments. Just like playing small to middle Pocket Pairs. I usually try to see the flop cheap, waiting to see if I hit. In a tournament with a raise in front of you for say, a 3rd of your stack I'm just taking a chance of losing a lot if I call and miss.

At a high speed of 0.55 blinds I played only 2 hands (for some stack). The first hand I got was the K5 on the SB. There was no pre-flop raise, so I just limped. On the flop, I get an Ad-Kh-5d that gave me two bottom pairs (lucky). After the flop, I made a bet of about 55% and got 1 call. I think the turn was one of the worst cards possible, we got 10d on the Board. This meant that any JQ or any 2 diamonds were ahead. Also I'm not in my place so it was a really bad moment for me. I decided to check / call but my opponent decided to check it too (thanks for that). Then the river showed me some love, there was Kd, which completed my full house. I decided to raise the bet again as 55% and got a re-raise about 4 times my raise, at that point I felt it went all-in but I thought I had a winning combination so I went all-in. The opponent called all-in with a flash. Yes, at the beginning of the game doubled
