Re: Restealing in MTT\'s

Caveat: I know Strassa is better than I am.

That said, I don't see the value in restealing against this button steal by a player who will be reduced to less than 15 BBs if he folds. I don't think...

Re: Be Careful What You Wish For

Regarding illegal aliens and taxes, it should be noted that illegals are no longer legally permitted to pay taxes as they were a few years ago. The IRS used to provide what were known as tax ID...

Re: Why the Stop + Go Works (long and poorly written)

Noah,

I don't like the stop and go with AK. If someone raises with a low to medium pair, you should have some fold equity preflop depending on your chip stack. Against unpaired high cards,...

When Should You Just Call With AA?

In general, facing a raise, I reraise preflop with Aces. I'm wondering whether there are situations where just calling preflop and trying to get the rest in on the flop is "correct." Here's a...

Re: Theory: Metagame on the final table

Unless you can spot some obvious mistakes you are making in specific hands, I think you should chalk 3rd and 4th place finishes up to bad luck. You are facing considerably better competition at the...

Re: Revisiting Bankroll Requirements & Variance (Large MTTs)

I agree 100 buy ins is definitely not large enough to ensure that an "above average" player won't go broke if he's only playing tourneys with 1500+ players in them like alot of the low buy ins on...

Re: Eric Seidel and his KK vs. AA

This is a somewhat related idea.

I really think it would be a useful exercise for alot of intermediate level players to assign a preflop "value" in # of big blinds for 1010, JJ and QQ versus a...

Re: Going Mediumer?

I think the point you are making is that the quality of the hand you should be willing to get all your chips in with is corellated direct with the size of your chipstack relative to the size of the...

Re: Implementing Cash Game into MTT, Not Working

I think his comment applies to the very deep stack, large buy in live tourneys he plays in. In an online tourney with starting stacks of 1500, I don't think Jesus would apply this advice.

Re: reaching final tables in large tournaments

You probably play a few too many hands, a bit too aggressively, in somewhat poor position. Try staying away from trouble hands like AJ/AT and KQ unless you're on the button and fold small to medium...

Re: Alan Goehring on min raising - do you agree?

I think if you watch the pot sizes closely in the Monte Carlo Millions you'll find the Phil Ivey uses minraises often as well, at least as the chipleader. Of course, he too is exceptional postflop. ...
