Moshman,
Just wanted to say thanks. During a recent 'tilting' experience, a fellow player in an SnG and I got to talking... He seemed to know what he was doing, and he highly recommended your book. I just completed reading it. (Plan on rereading it again)
It has already helped me soo much in high blind play. I was already playing tight early; but failing to open up later and not get blinded out, take advantage of bubble play, or when I was chip leader. I think it might have, or will soon have already paid for itself. Just joined this forum as well, and since this seems to be your spot, I just wanted to tell you thanks, it's made a difference.
I do have a question though. I seem to do better on the 18 men SnGs and maybe like them better since that is where I got started. So, I'm still playing mostly those. In the turbos, I'll FT them most of the time, but sometimes my stack is not the greatest... What do I do when say I'm around a 1200 size stack and the blinds are 200/400... Too many times lately I've found myself in this situation. I try to pick out a tight, average stacked BB to shove on before blinds hit me. (Cover up the left side of your screen and shove before getting blinded out)
But, many times in the 18 men, this means shoving UTG or early position with a less than par hand through almost still a full table. I did this today w T-3 and stack size and blinds like the case I just mentioned. I got called in two spots, obviously lost. Would you still recommend this strategy when in the 18 men case and almost a full FT, or let the blinds run through me and hope I pick up a solid hand to double/triple up on through the next decently long orbit?
Thanks a bunch. And feel free to take your book off the market and make sure my opponents don't get this edge too
