I play the small tournys' by folding till the antes start. I'll play great hands or limp a PP for sets, but early in some of these micros, against 3 and 4 callers, forget it. Someones going to hit a miracle card. If not the first time, the second time you go all in. Stay out of trouble and wait for some luckbox that doubled up early to double you up pushing a TPGK and a gutshot, in the second hour. thats the time to play poker. I challenge any decent tourney player here to play one or two of these $1 or $2 tourny's at stars or party. These things are another world, i bet most have never heard of HOH or pot odds. They have seen negraneau push K4o on the WPT before though. They know "Poker".

I've done this several times now to turn a $4 roll on Stars to $50+ but no big cashes yet. It is still 3 hours to ITM and thats' still only $1.65 or so.
