Re: Early Venetian DS hand w/KK
This was pretty much my thinking exactly on the turn, although I'm glad to see some discussion on the decision to check because while I thought the check was best given the circumstances, it also...

Re: Early Venetian DS hand w/KK
This was live so obviously I don't have the hand history. Given what happened on turn, I apparently messed up the flop action in my initial description. It was actually BB who folded to the flop...

Re: Early Venetian DS hand w/KK
Both villains had been pretty active (certainly far more active than I had been), but it was still early and neither had shown down a hand I'd consider out of line with how they played it (frankly,...

Re: Early in a Venetian Deep Stack...
I just posted about a hand I had early in this same tournament. As for yours, I have no problem with your line, but like others, I'm curious as to how it turned out.

Early Venetian DS hand w/KK
This is from the Saturday noon Venetian $540 Deepstack event. It's the late part of level one, with blinds of t25-t50. The table has a few pretty active players; I have only played 1 or 2 hands and...

Re: WSOP Preliminary events questions
This sounds generally correct, but Day 1's conclusion is not triggered by the bubble. Based on the WSOP website, the events typically start at noon on Day 1 and run until 2:00 am. Day 2 starts at...

Re: Patience Factor for WSOP Events
I use the Patience Factor for only one thing: to compare the structure of various tournaments to see which ones provide for more play, at least at the early levels. By comparing the structure of an...

Re: Patience Factor for WSOP Events
The easiest way to calculate this is to download the excel spreadsheet on Snyder's website. All you do is fill in the blinds and level time and it calculates the Patience Factor.
As for your...

I do not purport to be an expert on Snyder's formula or an advocate for it, but it does seem that his "Patience Factor" tells you at least something, in a single number, about how fast the structure...

Re: PS $109 Deep Stack: Tough Decision with TPTK
To the extent it matters, the player behind me was playing, quite literally, any 2 cards. He was like 95/25 over 80 hands, and almost never folded to any bet on the flop, so I think I'm way ahead of...

Second hour of the PS deep stack $109. I have been fairly tight, and have not played a hand for a while. My stack is well above average. Villian has been very tight so far (14/2). Call or fold to...

Does anyone know the blind structure/starting chips for the $1,060 and $1,580 events at the LAPC? I'm trying to compare it to the WSOP Circuit event at Harrah's Rincon.
