don't be too nice just because the nick sounds female

I think what bugs me the most about her articles is her constant need to show that she's pulling one over on multitablers. I also think she likely exaggerates the effect of an early double-up on equity. Projecting an early double-up into a commanding bubble situation is a stretch.

A while back I wasted an afternoon trying to quantify for myself what she's trying to do here, i.e., the value of an early double-up, and didn't see any real correlation between stack size and equity gain until you're at level 3 or 4.

The vast majority of early double-ups, for me at least, come from sets and big overpairs in raised-preflop pots. You don't have to be a LAG to take advantage of this.

She probably gets criticized too much, but she's kind of put herself out there by claiming to be the best in her games, despite never putting any significant volume over any length of time. I'd like to see her at least acknowledge that she's clearly no more than a recreational player that's had some moderate success. I can't imagine her coaching income matches what she could make from playing if she was as good as she believes.

Meh, I think it's ok from a contrarian approach, but i didn't like that she makes assumptions that she backs up with 'personal experience' rather than from a theretical slant. For example her equity calculations when 4 -handed.

She vaults from doubling up early to having a stack that can abuse the bubble?

She enjoys stealing the blinds in the first 2 levels? Ok those 100 extra chips are going to be a great help.

She suggests that this strategy is best used by someone who is good at deepstack play and doesn't multi-table? Umm, shouldn't that person be playing cash?

I don't think the article was that bad, but certainly not ground-breaking stuff.

Exactly. Like it is completely out of the realm of the possibility that you will not be the only big stack on the bubble. I mean in a 9 handed SNG, how many times do you actually arrive to the bubble as the only big stack?

["- Prepare to fold your non-monster hands.

9 8 is to be read as "Nine High, Crappy Kicker." If you hit top pair, proceed as if you hit second pair, which is not good enough to continue six-handed, in most cases. In addition, if you cannot fold J 10 when two jacks hit the flop, six-handed, then speculating is not for you. In addition, keep in mind that bottom two pair are only a very small favorite over top pair, and they may be too vulnerable in a multi-way pot."]

That was from the other article, successful speculating.

It was about what hands to speculate and playing loose early, but this part I thought was too tight, I think 98s on a 9 high board is close but I will fold to resistance depending on the player.

I'm not really folding JTs with 2 jacks on the flop, and bottom 2 is tough. I'm just thinking the $12s, maybe I'm too loose because these kind of hands get paid off by much worse early on.

Rake are only 9%. $2 out of $22. Thus average ROI are -9%.
