I recently switched to the $200 game after having a solid run in the $50 and $100 games. So far, the short term results have been good, but long term statistics will tell the truth. Anyhow, here's one of my latest games where I finished in the money, so hope you enjoy. whinershutup posts small blind (10) actionmonkey posts big blind (15) ** Dealing down cards ** Dealt to TightPoker [ 6s, Ac ] TightPoker folds. vipsx folds.

This tournament was played at midnight on a Friday night, which usually has most of the loosest players around. Most of the serious East coast players are sleeping by now, so there's a good ratio of poor $200 players around. As we can see here, both abizzle's all-in play with A4 hearts is ludicrous, along with vands' call. Not typical play for the average $200 player. azwildcat folds. whinershutup folds. vands calls (955) vands is all-In. ** Dealing Turn ** : [ Qs ] ** Dealing River ** : [ As ] Creating Main Pot with $2075 with vands,abizzle1 ** Summary ** Main Pot: 2075 Board: [ 6d 2d Qc Qs As ] Nico213 balance 1000, didn't bet (folded) vands balance 1038, bet 1000, collected 1038, net +38 [ Ad 4d ] [ two pairs, aces and queens -- Ad,As,Qc,Qs,6d ] abizzle1 balance 1037, bet 1000, collected 1037, net +37 [ Ah 4h ] [ two pairs, aces and queens -- Ah,As,Qc,Qs,6d ] azwildcat balance 970, lost 30 (folded) roadrun63 balance 1000, didn't bet (folded) StCaps balance 1000, didn't bet (folded) whinershutup balance 970, lost 30 (folded) actionmonkey balance 985, lost 15 (folded) TightPoker balance 1000, didn't bet (folded) vipsx balance 1000, didn't bet (folded) ***** Hand History for Game 861970593 ***** 15/30 TourneyTexasHTGameTable (NL) (Tournament 5344305) - Fri Aug 20 03:43:56 EDT 2004 Table Table 11186 (Real Money) -- Seat 7 is the button Total number of players : 10 Seat 1: Nico213 (1000) Seat 2: vands (1038) Seat 3: abizzle1 (1037) Seat 4: azwildcat (970) Seat 5: roadrun63 (1000) Seat 6: StCaps (1000) Seat 7: whinershutup (970) Seat 8: actionmonkey (985) Seat 9: TightPoker (1000) Seat 10: vipsx (1000) actionmonkey posts small blind (10) TightPoker posts big blind (15) ** Dealing down cards ** Dealt to TightPoker [ Kc, As ] vipsx folds.

StCaps calls (15) whinershutup raises (40) to 40 actionmonkey calls (30) TightPoker calls (25) << I could raise to get into a more isolated game, which wouldn't be a bad play, but given the early situation, I won't have any reads on my opponents. In these cases, I usually play a bit more conservative and will just see a flop here and hide my hand. Since the raiser is on the button, if an Ace or King flops, I can easily setp a trap check-raise on the flop or turn. So, instead of being at a disadvantage by having no reads, I can use that to my advantage since the button won't know if I'm bluffing. abizzle1 folds. StCaps raises (285) to 300 whinershutup folds. actionmonkey folds. << I've played with StCaps before and have him marked as a super tight player to the point of being timid. This bet signals an obvious TT - AA hand. AK is about even money with TT, JJ and QQ, but is rather dominated by KK and AA. The only reason I would raise StCaps here is because I know that he views me as a tight player as well, so if I moved over him here, he could likely think I have KK or AA. However, as tight as he is, I'd rather not risk it when there are other easy prey at the table.
