Guy Berger Posted August 4, 2005 Report Share Posted August 4, 2005 what's a better way to learn.... on a table with 2/4 people or 7/9 people ss1 ← Different styles of play and sets of skills. You obviously need both if you want to win tournaments. If you are planning to play low-limit ring games, then the latter is better because it's easier to make money.

Guy Berger Posted August 4, 2005 Report Share Posted August 4, 2005 A free-roll is fine by me. Poker without money isn't really poker but its still a fun card game. I bet if we get the West Coast US guys up a little early and you stay up a little late we can work it out. How does a Saturday morning freeroll sound to everyone? Sounds good, hopefully I can do it. One thing we COULD do is all chip in off-site with a few bucks and set up our own payouts. It would be a bit of a pain to set up. Alternatively, and given the nature of this board, we could replace cash by CDs. Guy Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Don't be fooled, in 1/2 Limit the pots will be pretty small ($25-$50), 1/2 Pot Limit will tend to have pots 2 to 10 times that. I can guarantee at least 3 fish at this game (plus 2 full-time pro's and a hand full of serious amateurs). You are very welcome to come.

Upright Bill Posted August 8, 2005 Report Share Posted August 8, 2005 paulson chips are nice and expensive, it figures i like 'um what kind of chip sets do you guyzzz own? ← I've been researching chips again. My current set is a standard "home" set of composites with stickers applied. I can scan one if anyone's interested. I have a set of 1,500 chips. I was going to upgrade to custom chips but I can't bring myself to paid $2,000 for a complete set of customs. So, I'm buy 2,000 Nexgens and stickering them.

The only hands that beat you are AA and 2x, both are unlikely. If the guy who puts you all-in didn't play very aggressively pre-flop, you can effectively rule out AA. Furthermore, anybody with a decent pocket pair (say, 99 and higher) might think they have the best hand and play aggressively. So definitely go all-in.

Guy ← that said, realize that there's a good chance at a chop, so you'd effectively only be going all in just to get your money back plus whatever bets happened pre-flop and on the flop. That said, the one 2x that might actually get play would be A2. I know players that will play A-anything, and if they could have played A2 cheaply, I wouldn't put it past them. That said, I would assume the chop, and I'd get my money in. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
