Tight Poker

[terminal]

I have a decent amount of chips and I am trying to take advantage of the passiveness of this table. As you can see from the chat olemanriver is getting a little hot about it. As a bonus to my win of this tourney, he got knocked out in 4th.

I've played against olemanriver in same tourneys. I see you won that tourney against him. he seems to finish 4th or 5th a lot

Nothing wrong with pushing your stack around, but it mostly looks like you are calling pf raises with marginal-bad holdings, which doesn't seem like a great idea. I wouldn't mind so much if you were the one doing the raising.

I agree on the second hand, after I made the call I was asking myself why, even if I am the SB. I disagree on the other two. The first hand I am BB and I check a very marginal hand, no way I raise with that. The third hand is not a tremendously strong hand but I think worth calling a min raise. Then I have to call the re-raise for just another 135. I could not be re-raised.

[mewsiclovr]

You're probably right, and you have infinitely more experience in O8 than me, so I should just learn to keep my mouth shut when I don't know what I'm talking about.

[terminal]

That's why we are here, to learn. I have only been playing O8 for about 6 months now so I could be talking out my ass. I am just giving my opinion as you were, no need to keep your mouth shut.
