Hey sweet, 2+2 is back after mourning Neteller or something. I've got a 7:30 AM wakeup call for a client (gee I wonder why I wanna quit soon) so let me wrap it up for tonight:

are you the best tournament player in the mtt forum (define that however you will)?

I had this conversation with someone at the pca who thought you were too tight, but (at least from your posting, since I've played very little with you), I would pick you as the best tournament player on 2p2. Maybe it's just cause of the extreme confidence you give off in all of your strategy posts, I dunno. Who's better than you, and why? And are you too tight?

also, nice to meet you at the pca. I like your style.

Thanks man. I definitely played very tight at the PCA, which had as much to do with the table as with the cards I was getting (at one point I went ~3 hours without a top 10% hand at a table with ZJ, AJ and a super bad maniac to my left...I swear, every time I wanted to open something like J9, I'd look left and he was stacking his chips). But one thing that nobody knows because I didn't tell them, until now, was that out of the four times I reraised somebody PF on day 1 (three of them in the last level with big antes), I had air 3/4. Also, on one of the few hands I did play, I doubled up with a set against a guy that checkraised me with middle pair on an ace high board. It goes with the image.

No, I'm not the best tournament player on 2+2 or in MTTC. But I believe I can hold my own with the best of them...which isn't to say I am as good as them, it just means that I'm a tough out. It's also worth mentioning I will never play the same tourneys most tourney pros do except on Sundays, because I do a lot of game selection and stuff like the 109r is just totally not worth it to me with all the soft spots out there.

how in gods name do you play fullring, im planning to play cake poker 1/2 and 2/4, been watching the 5/10 game a bit, and ionno how full ring works, if i can get that i will def start feeding that 1% of yours with my hard earned rake, but any tips on FR before i try it?

Okay, for starters, don't take my game today to be a lesson in anything because for some reason I was playing B- and left early, heh. In addition, Cake is very opponent specific. That said, here is a rough guide to playing full ring on a site like Cake (lots of loose passives PF, LAGgy horrible play postflop):

Step 1: limp/call everything
Step 2: make the nuts
Step 3: bet (unless the guy will bluff a lot, then check)
Step 4: if you have an overpair and are raised on the flop by a bad player, fold

That's pretty much it. I take my 1% cut in any possible way except Neteller?
