    is eberetta1 the biggest nit on SBR Poker?

    His average cash is like 50 or something. He is tighter than ttwarrior.

    He just folded on bb with the blind at 400, leaving himself with 595, then folds his sb on the very next hand

    discuss

    was in the same tourney wit him couple days ago. i go out of my way to not play in the same tourney as this guy. guy milks the clock, folds in every possible situation and his only goal is to finish in top 20.

    i used to play like that trying to milk the clok and just try to survive till 20 but that got very boring and now that i actually play hands i finish much higher and no more milking the clock its useless if you actually trying to come in 1st

    Since they got rid of his timeout clock (made it minimal) its not near as bad. Would be pretty boring to me to play like he does as the 20-50 rollover points is just not a valid reason to milk the clock from hand #1.

    He will literally fold every hand, stack size be damned minus hands outside of top 4 or 5.

    Do with it what you will but its great to have him directly to your left or right when blinds become substantial. The timeout every hand from the beginning can get annoying but it is what it is.

    To answer question, maybe not biggest but definitely top 5. Different kind of nit as in he is harmless to your stack but I guess annoying to your surroundings/entertainment value.

    I figure the goal should be to win. Playing solely for top 20/min cashes severely cripples your ability to finish with a high place. There is much strategy in bubble and min cash play.

    Folded my big blind of 10 4 offsuit, true.
    I figured small blind would take 200 more points, so then I have 395 remaining chips divided by antes of 50, 8 hands, I can last about another lap around the table. 18 players were remaining. One orbit usually drops 4 people. I placed 13th . I have no complaints from me about my improvement in position by folding my big blind.

    Ebberata dont pay to much attention to the Players that want you to change the way you play
    your Game, we all have our style of playing and that is a good thing, if you happy with the way
    you play and you feel it works for you thats all that matters, I played on tables with you and
    it did not bother any of the other Players, good luck and I hope you finish top 50 this time

    Thanks Ireland, I have pretty thick skin, so not worried about the comments about my style of play.

    PRO: It is fun doing an all in when I have the chips and everyone folds down since they believe I am a rock.

    CON: It is not as fun when I am on my last few chips and 5 players call just to be sure I get knocked out.

    My goal is to make the 51-100 list. Because I can make the big dance since the contest lets 20 of the second best 50 players move on.
    If I make the top 50 list, it would just be icing on the cake. RudyRutteiger looks like he is formidable this season.

    I agree as well. This applys to real life tourneys as well. Min cashes are useless. I play tourneys for a big score.

    Thanks for the suggestion andyjc712.

    I'll let you know my thinking. Scoring 50 points in each of my 18 cashes so far eventually adds up to real points. Like I said at the tables, I have about enough rollover points to go for an ipad.

    I did place 2nd in another one of my tourney forums tonite. I do not roll over and play dead. I do try to win tourneys when the opportunity presents itself. And on another site I am $20 away from a $500 cashout.

    thnak you. I use to participate there and I belive that they closed my account there becuase of lack of activity, because i spend most of my time at SBR or other sites like bodog P S. and others.
    I m glad you doing well in other sites, that indicates that your style is working just fine.
    Keep it up and good luck.

    I'm not going to knock eberetta for his style of play. I think I've played at a few of his tables. His style doesn't bother me at all... or apparently I just haven't noticed? It's a tournament... and our goal is to survive 1-20. You don't get any points unless you place.

    Right before Feltstars poker went under, I got the pokerspace store to give me $10 on feltstars there since I had 1500 points. now feltstars was transferred to juicy stakes poker.

    Have 1300 more points on pokerspace, but feltstars is gone, so dunno yet my plan. Pokerspace has seen better days. I stopped playing there for 9 months and only the last 3 months got active again. I jump to the places that make it worth my time.

    sbr is a top 3 forum for me. i like the poker and sportsbetting aspects.
