I intend on playing this event in the FTOPS.

: Event #23: Tuesday, December 11th at 14:00 ET
$500 + $35 Limit Hold’em 6-Max Multi-Entry
$75,000 Guaranteed

I imagine optimal play would be to push draws hard, even maybe push gutshots, and be really aggro with my strong hands, be more willing to 3bet my TPTK, and if I get really short, I should lose my remaining chips intentionally.

Are these adjustments correct, or does the multi-entryness of the tournament not actually affect optimal play that much?

Any other tips or advice in playing in this tourney?
Thanks.

I agree with the aggressiveness but lose chips intentionally when running short??? Can you explain your logic behind that?

"Players who don’t like to multi-table can also get in on the action by playing a single entry until they bust and then registering again, as long as late registration is still open. For now, each player is limited to a maximum of four buy-ins, but that number could change depending on customer feedback and analysis."

FTR FTP just sent me this e-mail.

Sorry for the confusion in previous emails.

FTPS event #23 allows a maximum of 2 entries per player.

You realise that this is not a LHE tournament? Only 10% of it is LHE.

Is that sarcasm or something? I don't get your joke kmbrlyclrk.

I think it was previously scheduled as a LHE event, now it's 10-game

I don't see any reason to play it differently. You want others to be making multiple entries, not yourself. I think the overall style you describe is probably the best way to take a shot at making a deep run, but probably not the best strategy for ensuring that you cash in the event.

That is to say, you are describing a somewhat higher variance strategy, which should mean that you either build a big stack or else bust-out early. If you can afford that kind of risk, then go for it. But if it is important that you cash in this event, then I think you should play more conservatively (which will better position you take down some of the dead money that will be in this tournament).

I'd be going for first place, the money is very low on priority list...

Also this tourney was cancelled. The only LHE tourney, was removed from FTOPS this year.. WTF! I'm pissed...

Event #10 was a LHE tourney.

damn, so I missed the only LHE FTOPS event oh well, wait till next year.

It's a shame there was only one LHE event. Such a fun game, perhaps things will circle around in a few years and Limit will gain some popularity back. Although I suppose it's never really had a big tourney following.

Yes, it is unfortunate that LHE has declined in popularity. I didn't even bother going out to Vegas for the WSOP this year b/c the only event I play, the LHE ME, had it's buyin cut in half to 5k. Makes it not even +EV to fly out there


Any ideas on how to make LHE more popular?

Antes, or a forced UTG limp (ie 2 big blinds).

Would be a variance **** show though, especially if antes were in play.

Yes... that would make it an action game. I kinda think that might blunt the edge too much though? Make the pot too large and now you've made a large portion of standard incorrect plays/mistakes into correct ones and/or very small errors.

I sort of hate myself for saying it, but I think antes might be the way to go.

Simply using a 2/3 blind structure the entire time might be a more reasonable adjustment.

Antes wouldn't have to be huge (like say $3 for a $30/60 game... or maybe $5).

Or another idea could be antes but then a larger betting round for the river to semi-counteract that. Like say $5 antes but then the game is $30/60/90.

There used to be a local casino that spread 3/6/12 LHE that my friends and I would get hammered and play at a decade or more ago. However, the river bet could be either 6 or 12 dollars. And if someone bet 6 one could raise to 18, but if someone bet 12, one could not raise to 18, only 24.

It was interesting and I chased lots of draws to the river.

from a very bad player and low stackes player that i am....

this game shouldnt change imo, its perfect has it is, if fish are too stupid to comprehend limit is better for them instead going for NL , what can we do beside schooling them.

if they want to loose the money faster so be it, someday when they get tired of it they might migrate to a more fun game, ours

one thing for sure, losing exposure in big events isnt gone help us for sure.
the hype now is on the NL side and i hope limit will get back some.
