>I like the format of their tournaments though. I just don't have a lot of experience playing with larger numbers of players, or games that go on for hours. I've always tended to play fairly tight, getting more aggressive only towards the end of the game, and that just doesn't work well when the blinds get so high while there are still 10 players at every table. I'm learning to adjust my play...but haven't quite found the right balance yet.
>Haven't won anything yet but I'm actually just getting back in there again >myself. I've been really really close to winning a couple of these tournaments, just get impatient and rush too much to try and close it out. And I *know* at the time I'm making a bad play, I just am tired of playing and want it to end. It's like poker suicide. ;-) >My old computer had a heck of a time loading the board. Don't have that problem...but find it really annoying that it doesn't work with Firefox. >the odds of a Real Good hand are exceptionally good. I assume you mean they are *not* exceptionally good. ;-) >Waiting for your card on >the river is not worth the chips it take to stay in. Well, that depends on the hand...and the cost to stay in. But yes, I definitely know when to cut my losses and fold. >I've been folding >before the flop if I don't have a pair, suited or a couple of 10 or betters >and that has been working out well I do still have a hard time with how loose online players are...I often will fold if a bunch of other players are all-in before the flop...only to find that I had a better hand than they did after all. There have been a number of times that a player goes bust, and the remaining players all joke at the crap hand they were going all out for. >I still tend to stay in when I >shouldn't or think my 300 raise might be enough to scare the person away but >since it's free roll, you gotta almost bet all or nothing to have someone >throw their cards away. Well, depends on the game. I've definitely found some of the tournaments people really want to win and you can bluff them off with a good sized bet without risking all you have. I can get a good read on the other players if I'm paying attention but of course, with new ones always rotating in, that doesn't last for long. ;-) >I've you ever see me, give a shoutout. I'm currently going under the handle >CtrAltDel Sure, will do, although I think I need a break for awhile. I'm 'MaryJoS' if you ever run across me. ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~| Adobe® ColdFusion® 8 software 8 is the most important and dramatic release to date Get the Free Trial http://ad.doubleclick.net/clk;160198600;22374440;w Archive: http://www.houseoffusion.com/groups/CF-Community/message.cfm/messageid:248954 Subscription: http://www.houseoffusion.com/groups/CF-Community/subscribe.cfm Unsubscribe: http://www.houseoffusion.com/cf_lists/unsubscribe.cfm?user=89.70.5
