Yea I have since changed my mind to folding instead.

Harrington doesn't write for his style of play only. You should read the books. [img]/images/graemlins/smirk.gif[/img]

Even though I said what it is from? I'm not claiming it as my own material. You might be right though. Does anyone know the mods real well or the authors and can ask?

In the Books/Publications Forum, they have Study Groups where they discuss chapters (or other 'sections') of 2+2 Books.

I'm certain there's a way to do it correctly - and I think it would do better in the MTT area (as opposed to the Books/Pub. Forum), be it here (since it's strategy) or in the MTT Community if that's deemed more appropriate.

I'm also glad to be in on the first problem as opposed to being behind a month.

I'd go with choice a), BTW.

why would you do anything other than fold here??

Why is this an auto fold for you?

Re: HOH3 Problem 1
 

I would go with A about 70% of the time and B 30% of the time to test the tightness of the table and the blind defense.

are you joking? its early in the tournament, so you don't actually have a clue how ppl are playing. you have 2 players that appear to be tight and 3 unknowns.

you have ~150BB, and you want to raise w/ T8o why? value? bluff? half-retarded?

Re: HOH3 Problem 1
 

There's really no use raising (or playing) here simply because there's nothing to steal, and that's what you are doing if you raise with T8o, stealing.

I'm not saying a fold is bad. I'm not saying I'm attacking and pushing the first guy who looks at me the wrong way.

Sometimes I raise, more or less just to disguse real hands I would raise with later and FWIW I've just started experimenting with this again and I have not been real pleased with it.

Sometimes I limp here just to be involved in some cheap pots where I can catch a nice hand and win a big pot or to just work on my reads of the table, or to just give a little action so I can get some action when I do pick up an early hand.

I also will fold here sometimes. Because I don't want to get involved in a multi-way pot with no reads. As always it depends.

I just don't think there is a default play.

Re: HOH3 Problem 1
 

Haven't read anyone's responses. I would choose A. If the raise is to 60 I'm assuming the BB is 20. These blinds are not high enough for me to try to start stealing them yet plus we have a poor hand in poor position.
