Alone in the Dark - The poker musings of an also ran

[Woodsey]

I'm experimenting with 6 man stts speeds today.

Normal - blinds increase every 10 hands.

Super turbo - Every 5 hands.

Extreme - Every 2 hands.

Technique obv varies depending which I play, but I have a feeling that the Extreme is more beatable. Players seem to make such horrible mistakes.

Do the extremes have a 150/300 level? 

[RED-DOG]

Errr TOM, is this guy THE GOD OF POKER?
Or is it the guy I sat next to at DTD 300 last month , nice enough and well meaning...  but never shuts up!
He sure makes this poker lark sound pretty dam easy....I must be missing something.

Actually, he is the God of poker Pete, he told me so himself.

Did you make a call/Play with something like AJ saying they were your two kids initials?
If so we did sit next to each other late on day 1.
If not apologies as we didn`t

Extremes are going to have lower obtainable rois just due to the nature of the beast. The games are so quick that any natural edge you have, just won't have enough time to be used to its full power. It is bit like the way the earth is shaped, it needs pressure and time for the water to cut through the rock.

I understand perfectly and by and large I agree. But the really dreadful plays made by the Extreme players do compensate to some extent.

I'm not sure it's exploitable, but it's worth exploring.

[RED-DOG]

Blimey.

Satellite. I had 17000 chips, blinds 125/250   10 players left, 5 seats. ave stack 13000 ish

I ran KK into AA twice is consecutive hands, all in pre. Lost 7.5k on the first one.

Both times I am re- raise and push all in.

Mistake?

no - 26 k for a seat so you are a long way short and 5 from the money - played it fine
