infuriating game
you play solid poker for hours and when it matters and the $s are getting worthwhile,the poker gods start with there 2-8 os for an hour and your chips are dwindling slowly but surely what can u do ? I believe you must defend your bb when your shortish,but its hard with 2-8 os even for me.how low can you go before you make the stand.I think I should of defended earlier with 9-10 suited but still had 3 bb left so waited and then never had another hand eventually called with 5-6 against a-10.was happy when i seen his cards but i never hit. poker bug is returning to taylormade and i may have to start playing again.

lol unlky
When i get down to around 6 or 7 BB's i'm pushing all-in any Ace or any two painted cards... If the blinds are say 500/1000 and i have 7k..it's going all-in before the BB gets to me.. preferably UTG, hard for anyone to call there. However hard it may be to bet, it has to be done .
There comes a time when you cant get antie down, so that your bet wont make a difference and you get called on all sides, you have to draw the line and say, "this is where i make a stand "  A bit like 'Custer at the Battle of the little Big Horn'....mind you, it didn't do him much good  But you all ways have two cards and you have to know that to win, you have to be aggressive .....here comes the cavalry !!

the blinds were 4k + 8k ,I forget what antes were about 600, Im sitting with 40k in about 30th position,creeping up the $s ladder doesnt interest me,think i was in $200 prize zone,think $400 for 18th upwards,everyone raising and only being called by premium hands,Im getting bollox busting cards, 2-8 os etc no face cards and everyone else was getting the aces,couldnt even pick up 6-7 suited,my favourite last stand hand.I ended up in 23rd position out of 600+ runners which isnt bad,i watched a bit of final table and they done a deal with 4 left,we must have a debate about this, cos i felt the deal was terrrible,how does it work on laddies,who suggests what split and is it chip stack orientated by a pokermanager.Im not one for dealing but understand when theres thousands at stake sometimes prudent to do so.I would rather eat jam and butter for a month than accept a deal like last night,I find the details about the split and we can all give our opinion,mine is stick that deal up your arse.
