you've been doom-switched by the higher powers of SBR poker. welcome to the club.
next phase you will start losing with AA,KK,QQ , AAA, KKK, QQQ, etc.

the software kills u for stretches then lets u be god. just wait your turn. not a bad idea to look for flush draws and straight draws

**TheCentaur** · 08-14-14, 11:02 AM

Yeah sometimes there is nothing you can do

**sinmiedo** · 08-14-14, 11:08 AM

bluff in position, limp and bet your draws, read your oponents range, etc etc

**rufflesmuncher** · 08-14-14, 11:31 AM

Thanks guys appreciate the advice. If I had more points I would gladly give you all. Hopefully I switch to god soon and I will try to bluff in position and looks for draws in the meantime! Goodluck to you all!

So im looking for a little strategy here. Im not such a good poker player but trying to learn.

My top 2 hands were 9-9(i went all in and lost 53 minutes in the tournament) and q-6.

How do i stay alive and keep playing?

Do i bluff? Do I have no chance? Its been going on like this for 2 weeks now. When I finally hit a hand such a-q which isnt spectacular the other guy has like a-a or a-k.

What would you guys recommend I do?

You're doing all wrong.
You should not go allin with 99 unless you are about to be blinded away.
q6 is the hand to go all in. That hand is just a little better than 72, so the best way to make money with it is to go allin like there's no tomorrow.

The q-6 hand was early I was decently stacked the 9-9 I was at 850 chips and bb next hand. Bb was 200... shouldve specified sorry. Thanks bobbs for the wishes

You can't win the tourney before the final table, so minimize how often you put yourself in a position to lose it before then.

I don't mean fold your way to the cash. But sometimes choose to let other players knock each other out rather than jump in and take a risk if it isn't really needed to get to the final table. Maybe try to see more cheap flops with some of your good hands rather than pushing your luck before the final table.

Once there worry about your stack size and just play according to it at the time.

I'd guess the chip leader when 10 are left barely wins more than 1 in 10 tournies here.

Thats actually usually my stratregy let people knock out and win some small pots with big hands.... I guess I do need to see some more cheap flops. Thanks for the advice

under 10 bb very aggressive push any pair, suited connectors, any ace(depending on your position), if in late position and folded to me I'm pushing any 2

these SBR tourneys require you to build stacks as before you know it you will be close to just 10 bb if you haven't won any pots

top 3 is all that matters, don't try to jump pay spots, play to take the tourney down

**smitch124** · 08-14-14, 07:06 PM

Best thing is to play hands you would double down in BlackJack with. 9-2, 8-3, 7-4 etc.

couldn't agree more. the pay jumps from 10th to 5th are almost nothing so gamble it up when ur low stacked at final table

SBR payout structure is odd to say the least. Jumps from 12th to 10th, small ones 10th to 6th, then bigger ones 5th up instead of a smooth increase like other tourneys. I guess it rewards participation though, a good 40% of the field routinely cashing, and lets some nits fold to mincashes

**daneblazer** · 08-14-14, 08:56 PM

Be sure to blame the software if you lose.

It´s nice to know that those guys in SBR finally fixed the poker software.

Raise preflop. Bet each street until they fold or raise you.
