When you're extremely short, not having to pay the first bb when blinds are high is critical. This is especially true in formats where the increase is bigger. (AFAIK on FTP the jumps are smaller than Stars, but I don't remember exactly).

IMO it should be random which player has to pay that bigger bb or the first bb.

This is relevant in all games but especially in STs where blinds increase very quickly, and you can get to the 10bb level, where there is close to no edge either way, within 4-5 hands of timing down, especially if there is a raise and a defend.
mixed game HUsngs go up by hand fwiw

mmm o really.
what about this

99% of the regs just optimize their endgame. then just fold EVERY hand preflop unless they get QQ+ AK+. after 30 hands of folding their stack is abt 1300 if it goes smoothly and blinds are 50/100. --> $$$
no big deal...

I used to email big poker pros... because I was lonely =/

Now I go to the NC/LC thread- woot woot

Sept 2008, negreanu and I

I had a question about poker etiquette and your opinion.

Doyle wrote "There is also a lot of buzz about John Phan taking too
much time to act on his hand during tournament play. I've played with
John several times and I think he does take an excessive amount of
time."

I like to take a long time with some hands when I am chip leader at
the end of the tournament with the sole purpose of running out the
clock so the blinds raise.

I know it sounds bad, but to me it is just another way I can use the
rules to my advantage ( put more pressure on small stacks).

How do you feel about this?

Thanks.

Also- great to hear that you played well at Barcelona, feel great huh?

Hi Donk,

There is nothing against rules that say you can't do that, but it does get annoying to the other players and they have every right to call the clock on you if you do it to often. Me personally it does bother me a little, but hey, everyone plays differently.

Good luck in all that you do,
Daniel Negreanu

It is because it's within the rules, but it is against the spirit of the game, so the rules should be changed, if possible to reflect that, especially in a HUSnG to diminish your edge. In MTTs it's difficult to enforce so no rule is applied except for hand-for-hand (which is further proof that it is a spirit that they DO want to reinforce, but aren't able to for anything else than the bubble).

Imagine if you can move the big blind to your entire stack and turn a game into a flip whenever you're up against someone who has an edge. An exaggeration, but that sort of choice, to turn the game into a 0edge game at will, should not be allowed.

No, as in, who gets the button first hand is random. Something like 16, 21, or whatever hands every level so a different players gets the bb increase every time, depending on the speed of the game.

Pretty sure 200 chips is a significant amount of EV. In fact, it is 7.5%. So, yes, he IS giving up an edge.

Yes, exactly, and non mixed games one should go like that as well, that's what I mean.

Oh yes, it's better than nothing for sure. I was just kidding because I am a run-good fish at higher stakes from the second graph despite being 30BIs below EV at 100s.
