Hero ??

I had no notes or stats about the player, but I knew that he's not a reg

AQ+, 99+ should be a safe range.

I think it's a fold unless you're at a particularly tight table.

sitting on a ~5.5bb stack after blinds pass me here, is 55+, a7+, kj+ qts+ a decent pushing range here? (18m)

The chip leader was a kind of a donkey, making some limps pre flop, but after the 4handed he started to be more agressive pre flop...which range would be good to call here??

Hi, are the 9 Man Regular Speed still worth playing? They can still be profitable? (specially on Pokerstars).
In 2010 one player (Thrash370) made more than $70k in them, (wonder why he leave those games).
Last year the best player made no more than $25k. I like those games but I have seen better days in terms of traffic at that tables, but I am positive that things could change for better.

I suspect the difference between the $70k and $25k has far more to do with the volume of games being played. Now that the US players are not playing them there will be far less running and as such it would be impossible to make as much money playing them.

From my experience more generally the games arent much harder / easier than 2 years ago. The standard of players has improved obviously as it will continue to do but the number of US regs playing them dropped off which kinda balances it out.

I'd guess that if you were able to play as many games as you could in 2010 the profit would be comparable.

Just starting off playing 6max Super Turbos on Merge. A few questions:

1) Is anyone familiar with the SitnGo Startegy book (Moshman) Push/fold charts in the back and if so, are those applicable to Super turbos? If not does anyone have any suggestion on posts/books that are more applicable

2) On merge they have 80/20 payouts and 65/35 payouts, which one is recommended, or "standard" ?

Hero??

the guy on the BB was a 38/29, and the short one was also really agressive. My doubt here was, should I shove and try to put some pressure considering that the blinds was high or should I fold and let the blinds take the short stack chips and conserve my stack for the 3handed?

77 hand I'd probably let it go since the shorty is about to be raped.

But a really good player told me this once: if you can't decide whether to open shove or fold, then shove; if you can't decide about calling a shove, then fold

NL Holdem $300(BB) Replayer
SB ($6,220)
Hero ($2,585)
CO ($2,515)
BTN ($2,180)

Dealt to Hero J

fold, fold, SB raises to $6,195 (AI), Hero calls $2,260 (AI)

FLOP ($5,220) 7

TURN ($5,220) 7

RIVER ($5,220) 7

SB shows 9

Hero wins $5,220

I decided to call here because sb is regular and i know he will be very wide.According to nash suprisingly this is a fold.According to wizard even if he is in 100% range this is a fold

I would like to hear any thoughts here

Does someone plays the hypers on Party Poker and win in them pre-RB? The rake seems just absurd to me and makes me think that it is near ti impossible to win in them pre-rb....

Thx for any input!

I shove both but I think you could minraise the second one fairly safely?

Ugh still not sure on the 77 hand. Do we really want to shove that into the laggy CL when the shorty is about to be down to barely a blind? I don't have Wiz atm to assign any ranges, but it can't be much wider than 77 if that's even a shove, no?
