To answer your post ... yeah I think it is reasonable 4 handed. You are losing half your stack in the next two hands anyhow. Just the nature of the beast.
Not sure what site you are on, but if...
If you have about 7 min to spare then here is a damn fine instructional video on Pocket J's. Probably made the rounds on FTR already.

You have to call $7.25 to win $21.25. And you have position to boot. Looks like an easy call. I suppose it's possible that UTG+1 has a big hand and was slowish playing knowing that uber donk would...
Well I'll go ahead and play the role of village idiot (again). I like the fold here for a couple of reasons. First, you still have a monster stack to act behind you. Who knows, maybe he limped...
Yeah ... I'm waiting for strike one on that one!
Just a dumb observation. Don't you think that we can eliminate AAxx from his range? Is anyone limping with AAxx in the hole? Seems more like 55xx or 99xx (or air) to me.
I have seen one painfully obvious example of this at ... dare I say it? ... a play money razz table on Stars. There were 2 players like Huffawin11 and Huffawin22. Almost comical. I contacted a...
Thanks for the reply TLR and Benny. Looks like a change for me is in order.
Great post TLR. One dumb question. If you are in late position with crap cards and the pot is 'unopened' will you limp in? My thinking is that whoever brought in could have any three cards. I...
I don't anything wrong here.
Game #1 you are short stack on the button. The ace is irrelevant. With 4 BB left you just about have to shove.
Game #2 is a no brainer. Why risk handing out free...
Keith ... not to defend this donkfest ... but 6th thru 27th cash w $5.50 right away so there is a little more to it. Amazing how about $300 in prizes brings them out! These damn reload freerolls...
Depends on position. Personally I limp early or raise if I am late and everyone has folded to me. Late in a tourney I probably muck them if there is a big raise in front of me. I personally don't...

If you are that card dead then you should still have over 1300 chips at the 25/50 level. I think one common mistake is to try and play small ball in these. Your chip stack relative to...
I really enjoy HORSE for the most part. Razz is one of my stronger games which I suppose helps. I'm no expert but I'll toss out a couple of things for what its worth.
1. Be careful in the early...
If he had junk the raise would have been more. Villian is sitting on a monster stack so we know he likes to gamble. AA all the way.
Sure I believe in it ... but why does it only happen AGAINST me?
TLR ... sorry I was not more clear. I didn't say PLAY only hi hands, I said focus on them. IMO the hi end requires a lot more thought. The lo side is not like Razz or Stud H/L where you need to...
I sure have learned a lot on FTR in the past two days ... like I apparently don't shove near enough. Being that it is 6 handed I don't think I can get away from this hand pre flop. I'd flat call...
Did I see the words 'tournament strategy' in a thread about the first hand of a freeroll? First consider ... what is it going to take to get "in the money"? Top 1% or better probably. You have to...
Lol ... I know the feeling. This can get me in trouble when playing 8 game. It seems to help me to focus more on the hi plays in H/L when I am switching between the two. I know that is 'ignoring'...
Good topic! I share your pain. I think it is hard to have any set rules in these situations. Playing low buy in SNG's you run into a wide range of opponents. At some tables I have seen a 2.5x BB...
I must be a really bad Om HL player! OK, I'll agree that the hand should have been let go at the preflop raise. But it wasn't. Now we get a flat call on the flop bet. Feels like both are on a low...
"They are a good training ground for learning poker tournament

... errrr ... yeah if you want to learn the shove and pray strategy.
Not to hijack the thread but ....
Do you care how your OESD is formed? Does it matter if you have the connectors for the bottom two cards?
