new outlook on poker

SnGs also take up less time.

There is nothing like sitting down for a MTT, getting past the third break, and then busting out and winning $0, and even losing your buyin, for 3 hours of work.

Well in this case, taking up time isn't necessarily a negative.

You should try playing for play money sometime, Brian. Maybe that would be enough fun for you to be happy.

Then you could take that $200 a month and invest it elsewhere...

thanks for suggestion TP but think Ill just play with it if thats ok with you.

I don't like the tone of this thread and the direction it's headed in.

Come on now boys, don't bicker.

GeoffM · #6 06-01-05, 04:05 PM

I think it's time this forum has some referees as well as moderators.

That way, say Brian says "TP you are a dick", we can change that to "TP you are the best man".

I nominate Pshabi and I, we can be called the "love cats"

Wait wait... first the WPO, and now LOVE CATS?

You're an interesting man, Geoff.

Maybe what he's trying to say is that investing $200 / month into MTTs is a dangerous proposition. Maybe he's not. LOL. I personally think it is, unless you are good at MTTs... and from what I've seen and heard, you're just starting out.

At least you're sticking with low-buy-in games.

BrianSwa · #9 06-01-05, 04:14 PM

ya maybe he is but I seriously doubt that and doubt you believe that what he means either but anyway. Yea dont think $200/ month will do to good in the $100 buy in tornies. I will try it for this month and see how it does.

Or..... maybe TP realized no matter what people say, Brian is going to do exactly what Brian wants to do. He will post about it and even ask for advice now and then, but that's only to cause the drama that he lives for. I'll give him one thing though - he's damn good at that.

Sure, Brian says this:

But Brian doesn't actually mean it. Well, not if your comments are something besides 100% support of his post, that is.

For the record, I think MTTs are a lot of fun. I enjoy them very much, and I "spend" part of my cash game winnings entering big buy in tourneys now and then.

You can get a lot of poker in for your money playing low buy-in MTTs, and if you play in the large ones, you've got a crack at a huge payday if you go deep.

ive tried headhunter sit and go's and some normal ones at other sites. The headhunter ones are good but the prize pool is a little jacked because some of the money from it goes to heads.

I like jetset alot because they have garanteed prize pools and not alot of people entering their tornies. Im in the $5.50 garanteed $500 in a couple minutes and gonna cash in the $1 one. currently about 5th and my table image is amazing just basicly went from 14th to 4th because no one will call me past the flop.

ChipFish · #12 06-01-05, 11:42 PM

Correct me if I'm wrong, but for you to have a table image, wouldn't your opponents have to notice other players?
I don't think there is any reason at all to worry about "table image" in these tournaments,,,

But MTTs are fun.
Don't bother with the Headhunter tourney, unless you are willing to gamble early.
To make a decent score in these you need a big stack early.
