WSOP Satelitte Currently 3 of 12

[Village Idiot]

Top 9 get a seat.
Average is 11825 and I have 18775.
Blinds will be 250/500 wityh a 50 ante after break.
Do I tighten up immensely and just play great hands ?
I don't think I'm quite where I can fold into it.
Just play normally ?

Now down to 11 hand for hand.
10th gets some cash.

Thanks for the advice.
I just bet out 3/4 pot with top set on a 2 tone flop into 2 medium stacks to take it down without screwing around.

Try to take some blinds down with good cards, but prepared to fold if you get reraised by a very tight player and you have a mediocre hand for too many chips.

Personally, when you do get good cards I would show at least one hand (ie if you take down a pot preflop with KK) so that your perception is tight. That way, when people do play back at you, perhaps they have very good cards and will make it easier for you to lay a hand down if someone comes over the top of you for a good chunk of your chips (ie you raised with ATo and a middle stack chucks allin).

Sounds like you've played aggressively/well/luckily to get this far, so hopefully your cards will be at least average from here on out and you can coast in without too much trauma (taking down some blinds here and there, calling a shortstack when you have premium cards). Whatever you do, pls be cautious when tangling with other big stacks and be careful with middle stacks who appear tight but get very aggressive all of a sudden against you. Most likely, they wouldn't be messing with you without good hand potential

BTW how many left? Good luck! May you catch a set and double up again

yeah play it strong or fold. Make the other guys who are alot closer to busting out then you and are tighter the a virg... you get the idea. Point is force them to make the tough decisions

[NoExtinction]

two others will get tangled up in an AK v TT type flip. Just sit back and let others panic. You are a shoe-in now [img]/images/graemlins/smile.gif[/img]

I showed the set when they folded on the flop.
10 left, 1 more needs to go to win a seat and 3 stacks are under 3,000..I have 18,000.
Big stack at 50,00 is to my left and I'm not messing with him at all with anything.

On to the next satelitte.
