Where'd the CRAZIES go?

[Monty9]

Whats with all the rocks playing sit n goes these days??

I havent played them in awhile so I gave them a shot over the last few days.

Level 4 & 5 >>> still 6 to 8 players left at the table!!
No Mainics pushing in the first 2 or 3 hands.

Guess everybodys been studing !

Anybody else notice this or have I been away too long??

depends what buyins you play, where you play at, and what times you play

I've noticed this on stars lately.

I noticed it when i first left party poker after about a month of playing low limit SnGs there when i first started. There were always nuts going all in there with JQo in the first hand and crazy nonsense like that. I never went back to party, and never saw that again. Heh

I play at $10 mostly. and have just gotten into the $5.00 mini steps for the hell it. Went from 1 to 4 in just 3 games! will be playing in 4th tonight.

Its weird though, with the small starting stacks at level 4 and 5 half the table is in a push or fold mode, its seems funny playing that way with 6 or 7 guys.

I've noticed this on stars lately.

I was just saying this last night. I busted in 5th or 4th 5 games in a row when the blinds were @ 100/200 25 ante. I was saying to my wife that I remember the old days when you would be heads up at this level....now you are still at 5-7 players.

The last game I was finally heads up and the blinds were 200/400 50 ante!

I like it when im heads up at higher blind levels. I cant make a mistake...

[Sykedupp]

All the stars maniacs went to the Turbo Tournaments...

I play the $105's and the $210's and fishy fishy fish!

I noticed this in pokerroom. But it's great in shorthanded SNGs because after the blinds get high and two people go out, I steal blinds like a mofo on the bubble.

I'v seen a bit of this on a few i'v played lately. I can't complain though. They've lerned to fold alot but haven't figured out how to change gears properly. You'll still have to flip if your cards have been slow but if you get any kind of a stack you can run the table over

I just watched a friend of mine play a $10 SnG on Party where three players were eliminated in the first two hands, and there was a three-way all in on the first hand alone... with one player, who had already chucked in 250 chips, folding to save his last 550 after three others had made the final commitment. The first pot of the game was around 2700.

Where are the crazies? They're out there.

Well, some of the crazies that you guys are missing must have ended up on this table! Unbelievable - to call all-in on the first hand with a flush draw (one of which wasn't even the nut flush draw).
