sometimes,that is very good poker like saturday night when I won ticket
Congrats. I won a Sunday Million ticket as well, on my very first attempt as well.
I think a key in playing these 3 player Hyper's is you're going to take some more marginal spots than you might otherwise take in a regular S&G.
For instance, in this Sunday Milly game I played, all three of us were still in the game, and I picked up Pocket 8's (I was the chip leader at the time, with about 700 chips), and I open shoved and was insta-called with 5's. My hand held up and I was heads-up with about a 3-1 chip lead. I was able to chip away and eventually ended up winning the ticket.
Aggressive is definitely the right strategy here, but at the same time, if you're playing against such an opponent that doesn't change gears, you can open limp a big hand and have somebody shove into you.
Being able to change gears (opponent dependent) doesn't hurt either.
At least the ticket is good for 20 more years.
