Either save it until Merge introduces Merge bucks for tickets, or shot take and play the 33freezeout.


TBH they dont play very differently, just look to check call down good hands rather then leading in position or check raising, in these levels alot of players use position to their advantage and this will be were you get your value from made hands or top pair type hands OOP.

GL and put big hands or swings ITT and or let us know how you made out!

I just started grinding blackchippoker also, I love the skin, just like lock poker used to be but with a bit of blue color mixed into the skin.

Well I'm currently 7th/80, courtesy of the most well timed pair of aces in the big blind versus an open with AK and caller with Q 10 who both called my all in, J33J rainbow and I'm cruising! On break now, top prize is $1.4k! Even a min cash would be great, so as long as I don't dig myself into a hole, things should be getting interesting!

3rd out of 52! 66 vs Js6s, he calls my min bet pre, flops 3x4s7s, he shoves to my 2/3rd pot bet and i call dodging his 16 outs!

lol, just don't want people thinking I'm stealing their blinds. Just lost about 3/5 of my stack w/ kings vs A4 suited. Guaranteed to finish with my highest ever tournament cash though.

I'd have probably folded. Two overs, a flush draw or an over pair are what I'd have him on and I'm not doing good against that range. Not the best move, but I preferred it to shoving pre flop and losing a flip.

Button min bets, i shove with 79o, he calls w/33 and I don't hit. I shoved because everyone seemed to be stealing, my blinds in particular. Thought I could make him fold.

Ah well, 9th out of 178. I've turned a $1.10 buy-in, into a $33 entry, into $133.50. Guess I shouldn't be too hung up about missing out on $1.45K. Anyway, a nice way to celebrate the end of my last A level exam!

Going to bed now, its 5.20am!

GL at the tables

Yeah I know, guess I just fancied my chances and 33 is probably one of the best couple of cards for me to see there.

I almost triple my previous best ever cash though (about $50 from $15 SNG and $50 from $2.20 6-max MTT) and won more than the profit I made from my biggest every pot, back on pokerstars when I wasn't practicing playing BRM and had $100 on a PLO table and spiked a spade on the river vs. two opponents, one with nut straight and one with top set.

Anyway, $133.50 up on Black Chip and to think I only deposit to try and clear a deposit bonus playing satellites!
