limit holdem SNG's

This whole thread should be in the "How Should I Play This?" forum.

did you even read what i wrote CF.... i was all in on the turn with a straight flush draw + overcards.... i was even money vs the nuts (top set) at that point, no reason not to put all my money in if i know this idiot is going to donate to me.

btw what ever happened to our old thread? after i actually showed some interest in playing you in a freezeout you kind of dissapeared off the forum for a while, which makes me wonder if you even have enough money for a $1000 freezeout anyways... the only reason for you to offer playing a freezeout for so much is because you thought i would say no, and you would win the argument and look like a hardass... anyways you left for weeks, and now you come back talking about stuff you dont understand again.... either pay attention to what i say or dont post in my threads, idiot.

Ah, a challenge has been issued. Great way to build up some rivalries on this forum.

2-7 2-9 3-10 it doesnt seem to matter.

You will at some stage come accross a player or sometimes a good few players who will chance it with whatever they have.
Now it may be true that these players have signed up to the wrong tourny Limit/NL and just want out, but it is become more frequent that some players are chancers, by this I mean they have a few $ and dont mind spoiling games by trying to buy them (just keep betting with anything and hope for luck) if you come accross a player who you think is trying this it is worth doing a site search for there name as they most probably will be in a couple of sit n gos.
My advice is follow them, play the hands you now are good and you should 90% of the time win, they are playing solely relying on luck, you will be combining your skill with luck, chances are you are going to win.

yeah, the people ive seen doing this really dont think about anythign they do. i saw the tightest player at the sng reraising the maniac on a turn of JJ99, they capped it, and the maniac ended up all in on the river (Q). the tight player had AJ, and the maniac was playing the board with 10 3. obviously these kind of players are going to die when someone gets any sort of hand, but since that was the first (and last) limit sng ive played, i dont think im going to go out of my way to hunt down these people in limit sng's. pot limit fish are more common, and since its pot limit, they cant get my suited connectors out preflop.... especially early in the tourney, when i can see a flop with them for something like 4% of my stack.

Let's get it on! I'd love to see this heads up match take place. Charlie - are you going to respond to jb's comments?

[johnbaker]

yeah.... are you? and saying something like "I'm only going to play for a $1000 freezeout, no less" is bullshit, be more reasonable if you actually want to play. I only have an empire / party account with money in it right now, and I'm willing to negotiate the terms of our match this weekend. also when can you play... i'm on the west coast, so if youre in a different time zone figure out when is a good time to play. if you really mean what you say, you'll play me for any amount, and not just whine about me not playing a $1000 freezeout. trust me, i would if i could... from what ive read you say, i know that you know nothing about poker. i think its pretty obvious that you cant even show up with 1k, becuase why else would you want to play the freezeout with play money on partypoker? why not just play at a private heads up table for the full amount? if $1000 really means as little to you as you say, then losing a couple bucks in rake isnt a very good reason to not play at a private table.

hurry up and reply to this so i can have some idea of when we're playing
