lancelott_: i would bet the turn and chfold the river

griffey24: I don't get it.
I mean.. do you really think he's folding Tx to the price he's getting? Cause I highly doubt it.
I like it if its quite a bit deeper, but not with these stacks.

nutsinho: calling the raise w ur hand makes a lot more sense. bluffing seems super fps and kind of obvious

Poker Article | Multi-Entry Tournaments on Full Tilt Poker

By lolzzz_321
Full Tilt Poker is one of the world's leading online poker sites, and boasts the second largest player base of any poker room worldwide. One of the main reasons they are consistently home to so many poker fans is the stream of new and innovative ideas they come up with to make poker even more fun. Their most recent idea will make a big difference to tournament players, with the announcement of Multi-Entry tournaments, which give players multiple chances to win and vastly increase the prize-pools on offer.
Multi-Entry tournaments are exactly as they sound, tournaments which you can enter more than once. You simply buy into the tournament multiple times, and each buy-in gets you a new stack on a new table of the tournament, and you may play almost as many stacks simultaneously as you want. There are some limitations in that Full Tilt doesn't allow you to have two stacks on the same table, so you can't buy-in more times than there are tables in the tournament. Any limit on the number of multiple entries is made pretty clear in the tournament lobby.

Poker Dictionary | Sandbagging

Also known as check-raising. Sometimes this is frowned upon because it is being 'dishonest' as you are not betting the hand like you should. In modern times, it is rare to be berated for sand-bagging/check-raising as it has become a crucial component of poker strategy.
Example: He was accused of sandbagging after he checked to John and then raised his bet shortly after.
