Sit-n-Go Blind (Lasts one hand)

[biggle10]

I've been meaning to try this too. I think this should become the official blind HE thread.

BTW, love the sig.

Great idea, and a very entertaining hand...I'll try it as well sometime.

[biggle10]

I was unceremoniously knocked out in 8th. UTG limps. CO calls. I'm on the button with 1000. Blinds are 50/100 at this point. I go all in(65o - power baby). BB wakes up with KQs and flops flush.

And wow, its been a long time since I've played a micro-SNG, and wow again, the players are so bad.

You can always try this method. http://forumserver.twoplustwo.com/showflat.php?Cat=0&Board=beats&Number=4416866&page=0&fpart=1

Eruu, did you read some the chat from the 2+2 thread? I love how his opponents are mad that he's going all in with crap.

[jacedk]

Poor guys...they never knew what hit them. I should have done this with my Titan freeroll winnings.

Here's me busting out on my first blind SnG...heh, it's pretty fun in a sick sorta way.

PokerStars No-Limit Hold'em Tourney, Big Blind is t50 (7 handed)

UTG (t1815)
Hero (t840)
MP2 (t2740)
CO (t1300)
Button (t805)
SB (t1350)
BB (t4650)

Preflop: Hero is MP1 with :9h, :qs.
1 fold, Hero raises to t175, 4 folds, BB calls t125.

Flop: (t375) :kc, :2s, :ts (2 players)
BB checks, Hero bets t665 (All-In), BB calls t665.

Turn: (t1705) :js (2 players, 1 all-in)

River: (t1705) :6h (2 players, 1 all-in)

Final Pot: t1705

BB has 9s 3s (flush, jack high).
Hero has 9h Qs (straight, king high).
Outcome: BB wins t1705.

You guys took a different route than me. Nobody folds in the first few levels, so I folded everything until the 50/100 round. I will cash in one of these.

[poormanbilly]

That is the problem with doing this. No one wants to try it at a higher level and players at this level won't fold when they should.

It would be just as likely to have success with the 'all-in' method.

I did read the 2+2 post. Very funny.

Shit, the "higher" levels aren't any better. I busted out of a $30 Party SnG yesterday after someone called his flush draw on the turn because he was "getting 2 to 1 odds, so he HAD to call".

I can see how doing this enough would help your hand reading skills though. I think it could improve my game regardless of people calling with crap or what level I play at. I'll try a $20 Stars tonight though and see if that's any different.

[i suck at poker]

I gave it a shot. PP $5+1 ... I lasted EXACTLY as long as you did. 1 hand. No records here.

[hiho]

I tried this on stars and didn't get past 9th. I got sucked out when my Q7o lost to a Q5o.
