Tourney break decision

[kukushkin88]

The bit about KQ being a monster in comparison to the other hands you've had shows a flawed way of thinking. Other than the effect it may have had on your stack size, the other hands you've had shoudn't influence any deicision.

Ante's = Shove pre

No Ante's = Fold pre


If raising pre = Shove any flop

Basing your decision on the fact that the break is just coming up is really bad poker.

If the breaks are so long that they affect your decisions don't play the tournament.

As for the hand just pass pre. Shove some random shit from late position when you get chance. If the table is right and you think people will lay down A9, A10 or even AJ then shove UTG is fine.

disagree Matt- you'd be surprised how much external factors play a part in live poker. People just wanna go for a fag/toilet/get a drink and will rarely defend pre flop or want to play a long pot post.

What I meant George was that we shouldn't base our decision on the break coming up.

If we base our decision on thinking that our oppo may be acting differently because of the break that's different.

I understand that external factors play a part in the game but we shouldn't be thinking "meh, fuck it. I'll just chuck 'em in because I can't be arsed to wait around for 30 minutes". I we think that's what our oppo is doing then we should alter our range accordingly.

Unless were thinking "meh, fuck it. I'll just chuck 'em in because I can't be arsed to wait around for 30 minutes". 

Then we should chuck them in surely?
