*Official* MTT Challenge Thread 05.18.06

[Mi_T_Sharp]

I am at work. Just starting up this thread to give myself something to read, and also to start a convincing argument for me to leave early to play poker.

[dmk]

if it helps, i'm working from home today - i.e. playing poker

[Mi_T_Sharp]

Nice. Well, I got in at 10:30 for a meeting. Now, I am going out to lunch. When I get back, I plan on working for a solid 1-2 hours, before returning to my real office. BTW, is there a $50 NL tourney at 3 today? Is that an everyday MTT? If so, I am out by 2:15 (to work from home for the rest of the day of course)!!!

[bestcellar]

well [censored], I didn't see this one. sorry guys.

In the $11R for $421 so far.

[BadgerPro]

Bestcellar -

I normally push my first few hands and show them if nobody calls and they were a bad hand. I never show my good hands if I push and nobody calls.

Then I back off and only push certain hands. Any pair, suited connectors, 1 gappers suited, 2 gappers suited, and any two cards T or better, most suited aces, and usually A9+.

I try to stay away from pushing hands like 82 or 94 and the like. You'll still get plenty of action especially when everyone folds and you show some 6 or 7 high hands.

If I double up early I normally back off some more. If it's folded to me in the cutoff, button, or blinds and I haven't pushed in a while I will push almost any two and then show them so that the table thinks I'm still pushing crap.

Other thing to watch is when a tight player enters the pot or raises. There are certain people at the table who will gamble with you at least a little maybe calling you with JT or A7. Then there are others who will only play monsters and expect you to still play your crap against them. I usually like to say 'F' them and aviod playing if they come into the pot and I don't have a big hand.

Nice job on the 42 rebuys though... it was fun to watch.

Edit: Also, like Dad57 was saying. If you back off and only push select hands a lot of the time another player will take over for you as the maniac. However if you're pushing every hand then they will just let you take over the role unless you get lucky and build a big stack quick.

[bestcellar]

well badger, usually I win one of my first ten hands or 15 hands. I do usually slow down at 6k, but I think I had something like AQ and I had to get all in with it and lose a flip when 66 flopped a set. Couple of times I had it all in with JJ<AK, TT<AQ and AJ<AQ. I just couldn't win a hand. I think I may have spilled about $150 more than I would've employing your strategy, but man. What an hour.

I will keep that mind in the future though. Sometimes I press a little too much.

19k, in for $431. I need to FT to win my money back...

[BadgerPro]

Yeah, you really should have won a hand earlier.

[Caldarooni]

Badger,

So wait. My push every single hand until I have 50k strategy is not optimal?

Sluuuuuuuuuttttttttt!!!!!!

I am now at home, smoking, drinking coffee and already playing the 55, the 5, and a 20/180. I love my life.

Go TEAM FUNKI!!!!!!!!

Edit: While reading my post, I just realized that my current generic title is very fitting for me in so many ways.

[Caldarooni]

About to hit the money as CL in another 20/180.

It should be a crime for me to play these.

My ROI is like 10000% in them.

Holla.

wow, terrible play, glad it worked out for you

whenever I do that, I get called by queens and never hit

[Caldarooni]

I dont know if it was terrible.

We were at the bubble, and it was a button raise.

And the guy was super weak tight.

Not to mention he used his entire clock before making the call.

Why not raise it to 2250ish? Just curious...

[Caldarooni]

In retrospect, an all-in was overkill.

And only ensures a top hand makes the call.

I'm not disagreeing with reraising a weak tight player, but pushing is clearly a huge error considering villain's stack size compared to the rest of the table.

[Caldarooni]

I agree with you BC. Sometimes I just get carried away with protecting my blind/running over the table.

I'm 3/17 w/ 27K in my other 180/20. 2nd chance baby!!!

From a recent Team Canada strategy session:

hit21hit [observer]: steve, make a deal so they go easy on you for TLB points /images/graemlins/smile.gif


lol wtf! No wonder we can't catch these guys...

I was thinking the same thing about the deal and TLBs. Good idea.

Well, it's time for my do-over. #24981920 3/9 w/37K.

I'm 44/99 in the 656 runner 11:30 20+2. Hopefully, I can find a way to win that or something. Anyone else in it?

I basically think this thing is over now. We just retook the lead in Cat A, got 5 grade points and tacked on about 900 or so onto the top 25 to get over 7000. Ummm... Ship it?

I already told hit21hit I'm retiring from holdem to become a PLO8 player...I don't think I'll be needed for the rest of this challenge.

[dmk]

i wish there were an easy way to update the scores daily.....

is there anyway in hell lee jones would allow you to request the may tlb scores for everyone included in the challenge?

also, congrats on the cat A wins tonight. however, i'd be worried about the B/C categories if i were you...

team teh awesome ftw

[Jurollo]

Well a sorta easy way to do it would be to put the top 20 scores from each category on here and if someone beats that we can update from there. Perhaps we can do that for last week.

[dmk]

too bad the 180s aren't captured in the pokerdb eh

[Mi_T_Sharp]

Well, I did one spot better this time! 3rd obv.

Edit: I guess I just have to win this 20 FO. 16/36.

[Superfluous Man]

Doing ok in the 55k, was running over the table when my computer locked up, and forced me away from the table for like 20 minutes. Now down to 252k after running KQ into JJ.

no sir. my teammates have been steadily gaining points, but I'm about to have a breakout week. my last final is done at 12 pm monday. I will be playing at least 12 hours monday, tuesday, wednesday, thursday, and possibly friday. I would go ahead and GUARANTEE a tlb weekly win, but with the sunday tourney being a 215 the winner could be hard to catch. however, I will have an extremely lucrative week, and by the end of it team funki should be on top of the rankings. just letting you all know.

22 left, i'm in 7th with 541k. Avg is like 447k. Cmon Lee keep my luckbox loaded.

[Superfluous Man]

Out 14th....bleeeeeeeeeeeeeeeech, stopped and went with 44 on a 822 board, got called by A5o, turn A, i'm done.

Also, lost with KTs vs. A8s; was trying to induce a resteal by raising 3x from the SB, and I think KTs is a solid call against a resteal range when the pot's laying me like 3:2. Oh well. The 55k is the most frustrating tournament on 'stars and it's not even close. But it's still my crack, meth, and heroin all rolled into one.
