[$muszlesz$]

do u really need to get all in pre at 15/30 level??

[matt674]

i know his reraise is a standard "reraise the button raise with any two" - i know i have the best hand so if he wants to try outdraw me its going to cost him

even if i just flat call he's not laying his 5 high draw down on the flop anyway

[matt674]

doesn't matter whether you get it all in preflop or play the hand in a "normal" fashion - the quality of opposition doesnt change.................

lol @ your attitude

[George2Loose]

Whether your winning or not- getting it in with AJ at 15/30 is a huge spew/leak

[Longy]

Opening 4x from a 9bb stack is pretty tez as well.

[the sicilian]

Jazzer32 call with 5 high ?

[action man]

yo matt, how we getting on? winning/losing/breakeven?

edit - seen OP

Any reason why you are playing others? not that i care, i think its better as you could get a huge score, just wondered..

In these sngs when i know i'm favourite then i'll take my chances - the majority of the time i'm either a 60/40 fav or 75/25 fav if they call

Opening 4x from a 9bb stack is pretty tez as well.

i'm looking for a chance to double up - i want to play a pot against 1 opponent. If i make it 250 or 300 to go then once poi1234 calls it will end up being a five or six way pot in these 180 sngs as people will call with any 2 with the blinds coming along for the ride so then i have 25-35% of my stack in the middle when i might only win the hand 20% of the time. If i go all in i may not get a call at all. People will call with hands like AQ to A10 in these no problem so i am trying to get heads up against just one player.

I played a few other tournaments at the weekend because the 180 sngs do not fill up until early evening. On Sunday i signed up for both $10 and $20 at 10am when i first turned on computer - when i reached the first break in the $10 rebuy sat for the warm up at 12:55pm there were just 2 people registered for the $20. The first tourney started around 4:30pm

In the evenings i've been coming home from work and missing the first round of $10 and $20 sngs. i've been relying on public transport since my recent move but will be getting a car this weekend, the $10 mtt's are ideal because of the late registration and even though i've been cashing in a few of them will probably not bother with them once i can register for the earlier $10 & $20 sngs.

How did you know you are were favourite, did you have a read on the big blind? What hands call your shove that you are a 60/40 or 75/25 favourite if they call? I know there are plenty of muppets in these games, but anyone half decent will not be calling you with KQ or AT here, I think the best you can hope for here is that they have pocket tens. Obviously he shows five high this time, but most of the time I think you will fold out all the hands you crush and will be up against TT+ and AQ+ when called, this early in the game.
