Re: donkey players

Assuming this is a tourney, I think 16 BB is still too deep for open shoving 44. If you had played this for value villain probably folds to a c-bet when flop missed.

Re: 1k Prop bet help...

I think the critic is mistaking 200 - 400 NL on Stars for $200-400, not the conventional $2-4 x 100BB...
Yes, $2-4 is mid stakes IMHO.

Keep the list updated, this should be fun. Here's a thread from Jan. '07 where Nate turns $5 into $1,000 in 7 days. A lot different than your situation but a great read nonetheless.

Re: Age Old question about early tourney strategy

Game selection has become vital to me in building a roll. These types of tourneys are crapshoots. If the $60 doesn't mean much and you have a good time, then great. But like Mick said, they're not...

Re: Getting into the Seat....example satellite play (the last 20 hands

Great post, thanks for sharing. I like the 18s on FT that hagbard mentions. However, anything that pays 33% of the field is juicy, and I agree with Sherman that the 100+ fields are even softer.

Re: TT vs 2 All-Ins PF

Just to be clear, I would probably fold this at a higher buy-in. Early in the $5's people are shoving big aces and broadway with abandon.

Re: TT vs 2 All-Ins PF

Don't see your stack size, but I'm assuming it's ~1,500. You're surely good here more than a third of the time (pot is offering over 2 to 1) so it's hugely plus ev. Stick it in. Even if all 3 of you...
