Trying to steal the initiative with a mini flop bet.

[clayftknight]

btw tank, was it a speed or turbo?

That kind of stupid all in on hand one stuff happens often in those.

If you are lucky enough to be dealt AK or something first level, you move in someone will call most of the time and it will often be a weaker ace, great stuff.

Normal Tribecca tournament, 8 minute blinds, 2,000 chips.

20/40
30/60
50/100
100/200
150/300
200/400

I really don't like popping my stack in with AK pre-flop in the first few levels.

The muppets might call with AJ, but they can also call with 22.

I think the key is to let others do the early gambling in these things.

[clayftknight]

The turbos take 20 mins max and your profit margin is being one of the 3 or 4 that understand how quick the blinds move.

If you are called by AJ one time and 22 the other time this is perfect.

This style of play and the way you know how to play the bubble...especially when you have chips.........your ROI will be way above the 8% you were hitting at Stars.

[thetank]

Not sold.

It's all very well that they take 20 minutes, but they take an hour to fill.

Certainly not sold with moving in with AK lvls 1 and 2.

[clayftknight]

Does how long you have to wait to play affect what is the right move?

[thetank]

Not sure I understand the question.

[clayftknight]

You said they take an hour to fill.

Why does this affec t your decisions?

[thetank]

Ahhh, I see.

The facetiousness of the question threw me.

Sure some structures of tournaments, moving with AK early might be a good move for me. I don't play those at the moment though.

[clayftknight]

I'm certainly not suggesting the move in the normal sit n gos

good luck, I'm sure I'll see you at the tables at some point.

Are you still playing through the night?

[thetank]

Not really, games seem soft on Tribecca 24/7. So I'm sleeping almost normally now, and even enjoying the odd bit of sunshine.

The traffic is biggest in the evening, so thats when I get most of it.

Except today, when I'm struggling to write an article instead.

As long as you know the players correct ID, go to Options > Player notes, enter their ID in the "create a custom note" box and hit "add note", then in the large window add the details you want to add to this ID.

PS, love the eyepatch Tank
