The 180s are good if you have the roll to play at least $8 and $3.50r 180man. I just think if you are stuck with (for example) 800$ roll i would much rather play 3.50$ 9man hypers or $7 9man hypers, bc you can move up so much faster (lower br required) and mix/switch/tableselect games so much faster. But maybe thats just me, bc i have played alot of 9man sngs in my life and found them always like a kind of safe haven compared to how i feel if i play only 180man and mtts. Has to do alot with playing unstaked on a smallish roll and the goddamn variance, not even that im not a big winner in these games.

The biggest problems are that there is such a huge gap in buyin between $2.50 and $8 180man turbos, so that you need to win and endless amount of buyins to move up to the $8s. Sure, if you mix the games clever you can make alot in 180s, but i would urgently stay away from playing 2.50s exclusively. I would use my first upswing in them to immidiately taking shots to higher 180man or play another game than this. Just my 2c, do whatever you like.

way too loose readless

Just open fold pre.

OR is lag and def shoving it in his face, then fish joins, who has been relatively quite for an orbit or so and i guess i have to consider calling.. but im pretty sure i still have to gii, its the ft obv

yea openfold is best, if you still want to openraise, make it 2xbb

no, though these are not uncommon, maybe work on your shortstackgame, i have to add that it should be running fine and well after a 1000 games

how long did these take and how many tables on average are you playing at a time?

if it was a turbo, it would be worth a bit of a discussion, a discussion that has come by and gone for so many times now, in this format i think a fold is best, 66/77 is smthn to think about, maybe even 55, 88 is just a gii imo

AQo+, ATs, KQs or smthn like that, not always sure about exact ranges, think I shove QJs as well

raised every hand he plays and prolly played a limped pot from the bb

All 3 seem good.

Is it possible to build a bankroll with $0.50 90 and 45man games?

very dumb spot but meh I'll ask anyway.

What's your usual play here ? with what ace do you CR the crowd here ? I'm thinking A9o, fold to a reraise keep barreling anything but a spade.

anything but jamming pre is horrible.

if you call pre, you have to only call flop.

Is this a call from the big blind with K9o?

Bubble of $15 27 man. Top 5 get paid.

Guessing CO is stealing and pretty wide, but when SB calls, are we thinking innit to winnit or fold and hope CO hits?

Villain is fish and I am wondering did I missed value by not shoving river here?

http://www.boomplayer.com/en/poker-h...853_74699E3B3F

Villain seems like a fish which is trying to push me off the hand. I don't think he would play this way if he have a straight. I am putting him overpair, draws and five.

Would you call?

You're mistake was not pushing pre.

As played you have to call now.
