lol, yes I did! Since you brought it up, I'll ask you here.

You said early on in this thread that you could tell a lot about a person's game by the posts they make. So I wanted to know what you thought about my game. We've actually only played together <10 times IIRC.

I originally PMd you so I wouldn't start a slough of "what do you think about me" type posts, but I did ask this same question in Pudge's thread, so let's see who gives the best answer...no fair peeking at his answer [img]/images/graemlins/wink.gif[/img]

To be honest you could possibly the best SNG player that has ever graced our presence here on this forum. Your advice is always clearly the best, and I understand that you are incredibly good looking and get the ladies in droves.

FYP. Now your answer is better than Pudge's.

First orbit against an unknown. How would you have played this on all streets. What would you have done on the river?

CO ($24.55)
Button ($36.60)

Preflop: Hero is UTG with A[img]/images/graemlins/club.gif[/img], A[img]/images/graemlins/spade.gif[/img].
Hero raises to $1, 4 folds, BB calls $0.75.

Flop: ($2.10) 7[img]/images/graemlins/club.gif[/img], 7[img]/images/graemlins/spade.gif[/img], T[img]/images/graemlins/spade.gif[/img] (2 players)
BB checks, Hero bets $1.5, BB calls $1.50.

Turn: ($5.10) K[img]/images/graemlins/diamond.gif[/img] (2 players)

BB bets $5, Hero??

I'd call the river. I'd bet the turn against some moron at low stakes and probably fold to a check raise. But they call a lot so they could easily call you with some garbage ten or flush draw.

Are you sick of answering questions yet? Would you like this thread locked at some point?

Nah just leave it. It's no longer a part-time job like it was early on, its only like a question every day or two now.

Curtains, I know you. We took a trip to Iceland together years ago. I would go into more detail but I don't want to tarnish your reputation.

Questions... umm... Why am I so stupid? Why is this my first post?

Good question. There were a lot of people who went to Iceland on that trip so it's difficult for me to give an accurate answer.

Curtains-

I've asked this question on the noob thread as well but figured I'd ask it here too, (Devin basically led me in the right direction.)

I suck when I'm "ITM"...i just don't feel comfortable playing in that phase of a tournament.. Preflop,Bubble time,..and even post-flop (I play a little cash too)..all fine..Once i get in the money; clueless..or just awkward..not nearly as confident about what decisions to make.

Anyway,..how would you go about improving your ITM (3-handed play)??..assuming your problem was a lot of 3rd place finishes..Was there something you read?..Did you practice playing HU?..

Also, although i do come in shortstacked often when ITM..not enough to account for the # of 3rd place finishes..I'm pretty sure i suck at HU. (sngpt HU tutorial..I'm looking into it)..

Nevertheless, I figured I'd ask you because you posted your finish distribution and had a nice ratio of 1/2/3 place finishes..that's all. Thanks for any help.

Also what countries have you been to? ..besides Iceland.
