*** Official joining every $4/180man until I win one ***
 

I made a post a couple of days ago similar to this and planned on starting it at like 12pm so that was stupid, I don't have anything to do all day and I'm devoting it to winning another 180man. I'll update all my cashes on here and if anyone wants to sweat I also play under the SN Lord_Strife on pokerstars.... wish me luck.

EDIT: First one just launched at 3:24... I'll be in the rest of them... see you guys at the tables

Re: *** Official joining every $4/180man until I win one ***

Re: *** Official joining every $4/180man until I win one ***
 

lol if shaundeeb gets heads up with you just to win a side-bet lol lol

Re: *** Official joining every $4/180man until I win one ***
 

Why are you sitting out of both of them?

Gonna be hard to win imo.

Re: *** Official joining every $4/180man until I win one ***
 

I was sitting out in both of them for like three hands because I had to take a poo

Unfortunately there is no sidebets involved because it's not a "can I do it in this amount of time" but basically "i'm going to play until I do it".

Re: *** Official joining every $4/180man until I win one ***
 

You'll probably FT a lot of these but only win the 10cent tournament that you are in [img]/images/graemlins/smile.gif[/img]

Thats the [censored] that happens to me

Re: *** Official joining every $4/180man until I win one ***
 

good luck! hopefully cya later tonight at the tables

Re: *** Official joining every $4/180man until I win one ***
 

What do you guys think of the 10 and 25 cent tournaments? They're no rake and they pay 20% so like even though the payouts are so small, the actual ROI is insane on them... I dont have enough of a bankroll to worry about hourly rate as much as just pure winning.

Play 10 cent tournaments then imo [img]/images/graemlins/smile.gif[/img]

I saw the KK hand go down and liked it.

Re: *** Official joining every $4/180man until I win one ***
 

The only thing about it that I was worried about was not maximizing value post-flop, but I seriously was going to fold if he shoved allin over the top of my raise preflop, he didn't have aces so he didn't do it but that was a situation where they only put in the last raise with aces

I think maybe you shouldn't play as many tables as you do.

Even at the lowest levels, people don't put in the 5th bet in with less than aces (edit: or kings but they super rarely have kings there) and I had enough chips to fold so it wasn't even a decision.

Re: *** Official joining every $4/180man until I win one ***
 

So you were going to raise/fold 9/24 ~ 3/8s of your stack preflop with kings in a 4$ buyin sitngo?

Am I being leveled?

Never ever ever fold KK preflop in a 4/180. Seriously, it will always be wrong.

Re: *** Official joining every $4/180man until I win one ***
 

Strife--

Dude, you could have gotten action from me. I totally understand that your goal is to play until you win. Let's just say that I think you're not 100% to do that.

But good luck and all.

--Nate

Re: *** Official joining every $4/180man until I win one ***
 

Shrug, it was probably incorrect in that spot because I wasn't left with that many chips but I don't see why you guys don't recognize that aces are played significantly differently than any other hand.

And now for whatever reason everyone in this thread thinks I'm a donkey because of my opinion on the KK hand but never bother to consider my skill set or opinions on anything else. Free country, obviously you're entitled to your opinion.

Re: *** Official joining every $4/180man until I win one ***
 

In 9 right now, positions are as follows:

8/21 TT&lt;AA with 10bbs good for 12th or 13th i forget
14/32
26/54
48/72
78/90
66/100
84/126

as well as two more that just started so we're getting close to the money in the first one i signed up for

[/ QUOTE ]

I saw this hand, strife - I don't understand why you raised with TT in that position, with that stack. If you were getting called, you were getting 'em in. Why not open push PF?

(not that it would have mattered against aces, I just didn't understand the play).

GL with the quest.

OT

Re: *** Official joining every $4/180man until I win one ***
 

I was getting the chips in on any flop, I was just giving him another chance to fold something like AK... it's call a stop and go

Re: *** Official joining every $4/180man until I win one ***
 

Well, it's not quite a stop-and-go, because after all where's the stop?

That said, there's some merit to not pushing pre here; the critical question is whether the action he gains from worse hands that would have folded outweighs the equity he loses the extra times he loses. I don't think that flop FE is a big part of Strife's play here (in practice; I guess it was in his head, though).

If you're trying to drum up some action, I actually think you should consider a limp in that spot. It's amateurish and makes you exploitable; at $4 tournaments it can also be wildly effective.

Good luck,

--Nate

Re: *** Official joining every $4/180man until I win one ***
 

Hey Nate,
He left out the part where someone reraised me to 4000 after I made it 2000 and i just called instead of putting hte rest in preflop, so i stop and goed to try to get ak to fold or whatever

that was just gross ... that guy CALLIN with a gutshot ... loled hard when i saw it and felt bad for you ... if you win that hand u chip up massively .... poor boy

Re: *** Official joining every $4/180man until I win one ***
 

Realistically with two live cards and a gutshot he wouldn't be in THAT terrible shape but I also had a flush draw which killed two of his outs (his 7 was a spade so all of those were live) but it was obviously a terrible call on his part (only getting 2:1) but a little piece of me died inside when he did call
