Yeah I dont play as much as I used to play, not even close. I was kind of burned out from playing so much. Now, I would like to play more but dont have the time. I do think these PA sites present opportunity for sure.

Agreed,

Yeah my big mistake when played full time was playing myself absolutely into the ground man. 60-80 hours. No offense to people that do that though, much respect.

Bad call.

Betonline just threw me a little welcome back bonus so we'll have some fun playing tournies with that.

I ended up getting 25th last night in event 3 of their series. Won a couple flips and that was enough. Busted AQs against AK. Had chips one of the few that covered me had the AK.

Nice run man.

Thanks 3 45 dollar tickets, got 2 events out of it, 1 cash.

Kinda wish I played the aq different in hindsight, but not too disappointed overall

[stevek173]

Not bad at all man. Yeah AQ can be a real bitch for sure.

I dropped all the way down to $.15/$.30 ($30 buy ins) to play Omaha on Stars. No one plays hi/lo which sucks.

Bit of learning curve but I'm picking up steam. Grinding the penetrate out of it, good turbo action.


They are good even at that level but I think there's money to be made there.

Ran into this today.

I think they have a 1000 max risk free first bet as well (twinspires) sportsbook

AQ and AJ are the trickiest hands to play in tournaments IMO. AK is easy to play, because most of the time its correct to bust/gamble with it in the later stages. Actually had AJ offsuit a few hands before I busted in the big blind. One of the bigger stacks made a big open (like 4x pre) from middle position. He had played fairly tight but all of his preflop raises were this size. He pretty much just took down the pot every time so it was hard to know how strong his opening range had been. I opted to fold as I thought it would be hard to play out of position and was too much to call preflop, but definitely thought about shoving.

Well I get AQ suited a few hands later, the 2 big stacks are the blinds (guy from AJ hand was big blind, guy who showed up with AK was small blind). Player who had raised frequently opened UTG 9 (slightly over the min) I had AQ suited in the cutoff and shoved. UTG folds after small blind reships it. The UTG player had folded to 3 bets quite frequently, but I probably should have just called and let it play out, calling c-bets on most flops and then deciding on the turn. The big stacks weren't 3 betting very often at all. I do think the AJ hand was playing on my mind at that point and probably clouded my judgement a little.

I agree with everything you just said except that you know MUCH more about tournies than I do, lol.

Good look on Twinspires I'll check it out.

PMing you in a bit on something I've been doing. Not worried about anyone here, but those grinders with PT4 and stuff, you never know lol.
