The "BoomStick" approach?

, & would rarely get paid

But how often would he need to get paid to make it worthwhile?

Plus he won't find himself with several callers, one of which may flop a small set or two pr and bust him anyway.

I find it can pay, if you do it with big hands then eventually someone gets sick of you and makes a mistake.
In some of the blonde stt's i type in "aces" everytime i raise, nobody ever believes you and i find people play back at you more if you have folded to a reraise or shown down AJ.

I wouldn't do that. I think it's wrong to declare an actual hand, whether you have it or not

Well, on the few occasions he DOES get paid, he gets paid mighty big, so yes, that's a good take on it. But I don't think it's a ploy I would try, it's just not my style. Maybe it should be! I've tried it once or twice, but it never worked so I pretty much abandoned it except in special circumstances - you just know certain players cant resist the challenge.

Possibly but you need to bear in mind there are usually around 7 blondeites there and they don't believe anything i say.

I don't believe you.

I think a lot of it has to do with the quality of your opponents. At the levels I usually play at there is a high likelihood that there is at least one mentalist (and frequently a table full of them) who are willing to play bingo if you go all in on the first hand.

well done on the 3rd place tikay

but it was my view that the kid just could not play

Not gonna get into another argument about this but it's astonishing to me that you think this guy can't play. Looks like he's close to a million now in tournament winnings including internet play.

Wish I couldn't play as well as him

Is his strategy purely the all-in play, like Tikay suggests? Intriguing if it is.

[byronkincaid]

lol no, the last time tikay was posting about this I linked to his trip report where he went into detail about the way he was playing. I believe he's mates with Matros, Lindgren etc. Very well respected player.

I think it's a bit like if I watch one Brazil match and then conclude from that that Ronaldo is a crap player, without taking into account any other games he's played.

I have also seen a tikay newspaper article where he called zeejustin a rock. I think he must have something against American teenagers

Based on what I saw in Deauville, it most definitely WAS my view that the guy could not play. Clearly, I was wrong - but please note I did poke fun at myself, & my ability to make such a judgement, by adding the rider "He Finalled....."

If I sat with a guy tomorow who had one move, & one move only - all-in - I would make the same judgement though. And in MOST cases, I'd be right. I trapped the fella very early doors (before he became a huge stack) with Aces, & he sucked out on me, but that proves nothing.

What is Zeejustin's "real" name, as I don't recall ever commenting on ZeeJustin, as I barely recognize the name, but it may well be that I was talking about his "real" name, in which case It looks like I got it badly wrong.

My lack of respect for American Teenagers? Guilty as charged, I'm sorry. On the whiole you are probably right. I tend to categorize them too easily, I accept that. I have seen too many who are ill-mannered, & who have no idea of the value of money, but I'm wrong to lump all of them into such category. Though if you'd been in Vienna (E-WSOP) this year, you'd see my point!

I only played with him the once, but it was for 3 days straight. And thats the only move he made in 3 days.
