This will help me keep up with the topic in IRC.
Just post:
Name:
Tournament played (buy-in, type of game, rebuy, etc)
Winnings: How much made or a seat in another.
I will recognize everyone in the topic in irc if it is worthy such as a final table appearance ect.
This way we all can congratulate the winners and see what FTR is so good for.

Ya it was a sweet pot for the investment. Stars has a regular $5 + .50 rebuy everyday around 6pm EST now. It's turning up around the same pot sizes if not more every day.

Havn't been on IRC for about a decade now, not since the days of Warez. I'll drop by and check it out next time I'm playing. MIrc still the program of choice? or do you all have a recommended irc proggy?

It was excruciating; the chip leader with 4 left was Disconnected, and given like 2 minutes to make every action. Ow.
By the time he blinded out, scgolfer was down 5 to 1 or something. Groovy golfer! |

RIPPY YOU NEED TO TEACH ME HEADS UP
Corey sez: aggressive |
I agree kinda... Agression is how to beat a bad player, or the only realistic strategy when the blinds are high.
but flat out aggression is a a coin flip at best against another aggressive or good player. It very much depends on the blind size in ratio to your stack. Aggression is the pefect move, if you can tilt your opponent, but this is not always the case.
If the blinds are LOW (like you each have 100XBB), then they are basically not worth stealing. I can lay down to your aggression until I hit two face cards or a pair and push back. If you are raising 75% of the time, chances are I have a better hand than you.
I think what you want to do is be very flexible. Agression is a good play to start, but what if they are just as aggressive as you? You can take your coinflip or try to out play them. I think the most important rule in heads-up is to avoid being read. If this means you have to limp a bunch of times after you raise every hand, so be it. All you have to do to win at heads up is to get him to think you are bluffing ONCE when you have the goods (can be as weak as a mid-pair post flop). If you are breaking even stealing each others blinds - see a few flops and try to out play him there.
The other thing to remember, and this is pretty obvious - you don't need AK to have a good hand heads up! Any ace, 2 high cards, hell, even K7o is better than average heads up. |
