[ QUOTE ] [ QUOTE ] [ QUOTE ] We saw this effect last year, people with VERY deep stacks relative to the blinds (30 BB +) getting all in preflop with marginal type hands (AJo, 66, etc.) [/ QUOTE ] 30 BB's is not even close to deep, much less 'very deep'. [/ QUOTE ] It's not deep. But, it's deep enough so that you can just call the standard 3xBB pre-flop raise with some marginal hands rather than pushing all-in with them. [/ QUOTE ] yes, if you suck at poker and never plan on making money ever [/ QUOTE ] So, a stop 'n' go is never an option for you? You can never call with a hand in position and then decide whether to go all-in on the flop based on board texture? It's just all-in or fold every time?

Hevad Khan: "Rain" Man
Hevad Khan, known as "RainKhan" online, is a fun player to watch. He was the player with his tournament life on the line when he took his pocket queens against pocket aces and flopped quads. He was also the one who looked across the table on Day 5 as Humberto Brenes put his thumb up and said "all-in" with his A-K. Khan looked down and saw two aces and imitated Brenes' thumbs-up gesture as he moved all in himself. He knocked out the flamboyant Brenes (as well as his collection of sharks) on that hand. Khan is pretty vocal and flamboyant himself, as he has jumped around the room waving his chair over his head to celebrate victory after a big hand. If you Google "Rain Khan" you'll read his amazing story of playing up to 43 single-table sit-and-goes at once and getting banned by Poker Stars as a "bot." He decided to make a film documenting him playing 28 games at one and sent it to Poker Stars. The film convinced Poker Stars he was for real and his ban was subsequently lifted. Down to 26 players, Khan currently sits on a 6.3 million stack. His good friend David has moved over to Khan's ESPN Featured Table to root for him. "RainKhan" is making quite a name for himself this year. Last year in his first Main Event, he got knocked out on the first day. This year he just might make the final table.

You will bleed chips insanely fast calling raises with marginal hands when you are 30 bb's deep. [/ QUOTE ] Well, you can only do it once at 30 bb's. Then, you'll have less and possibly change strategy. The point is there's obviously a point where you don't have to go all-in with these marginal hands. With 30 bb's, it seems like you still have just enough post-flop play to do it.

Has anyone else noticed that with 3 tables left we still have 3 Vietnamese players.
On average, Viets are the greatest poker players in the world.
