Pre Flop: (t525) Hero is BTN with 9 T
3 folds, Hero?

SB is loose. Shoving is -EV but if BB happens to get a walk you move into 6th.

do we really need them all in an "official thread" wouldn't it make more sense to just post them like regular hands but with "DoN" in the header?

[BudELee236]

Individual hands are allowed by the Mods but often get lost in the shuffle because not many people play them. This thread is just an easy way to keep DoN players up to date and help to de-clutter the forum for the 9-man postings. We started the new Strat Version to try to move away from FAQ type postings (variance, bankroll etc.) and move back to strategy. It'll probably be similar looking to the STTF Cash Thread.

F the 9mans. Post individual threads until the mods finally give us our own forum imo. The official DoN thread already has more posts than 10 of the forum sections on 2+2

I would be happy to use this thread if for no other reason than the fact it doesn't have that out dated poll at the top of each page.

Fold

You are in perfect position with a loose SB on the heels of the other SS. You can last another round, no reason to push here especially depending on how loose the SB is.


How have the stacks behind you been?

WTF? The official don thread is locked? That sucks so badly. It's all very well having our own strategy thread, but I liked all the general discussion between regs and other stuff that went on there. Where can we go to talk about that stuff?

I am using Sit'n'Go Wizard but am unsure with a particular option. It gives you the choice to select 'Chip Equity Mode' and I am unsure if I should have this selected or not. One some of my hands if I tick this option it gives a different answer than what it does if it were unticked.

I tried to read in the 'help' section on sng but all it says is that 'chip equity mode' is for MTT's whereby it does not affect the payout structure. But I am more inclined to think that 'CEM' has to be selected as stack size is so important.

Please help me out with this as I am unsure if some of my plays were correct or not.

Thank you in advance.

Almost all of the high volume low stakes DON regulars suck at postflop play and are generally way too tight up until the bubble. Don't be afraid to play in there games. Of the infinite number of players who 10+ table the 5s - 10s, there are only 5 which I don't want in my games (2 of which being confirmed 2p2ers). My ROI may actually be slightly higher in games with high volume regs - at least with the ones I know how to exploit now.

I have around 3 regs on iPoker that I know how to exploit. I actually prefer up to 2 of them to be on the same table as me due to the fact that I can steal chips from them.

possibly true, but most people would improve their game more by focusing on improving their bubble play then earlier on.
