Concerning the WSOP seat, I have a dile...Hi MOJO! <br /><br />Concerning the WSOP seat, I have a dilemma that will keep me from 4-peating in our league. League rules allow for two substitutions (for times you can't make a tourney). My son's college graduation interfered with one tournament, my daughter's masters degree graduation another, so I'm out of substitutions. My daughter's wedding rehearsal dinner conflicts with our final league tournament, so although I'm currently in second place (which would win a seat to the WSOP), the zero points I will receive for the April tournament will nail the coffin shut on my chance to win :(<br /><br />My play in the Triple Up tournaments is similar to yours. I will min raise and try to steal blinds if it's folded to me on the button or in the cutoff. Even if I get called, a c-bet on the flop usually does the trick. Otherwise, it's pretty much "Foldilocks" for me early. <br /><br />I haven't tried pushing a big hand early (QQ+), but will consider it next time the opportunity arises.<br /><br />Once the blinds reach 50-100, I open my game up. At 75-150, it seems things really tighten up, so I continue to be aggressive when in late position. Occasionally someone will push back, but overall it's definitely a +EV play.<br /><br />Nice job in your tourney in Tunica. Sorry your set didn't hold :(<br /><br />Good to hear from you my friend.Lucki Duckhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/05176927202305128485noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4245645136756747360.post-79238627223703965932016-02-03T12:57:21.791-06:002016-02-03T12:57:21.791-06:00Good job.

Are you going to win a seat to the WSOP this year?<br /><br />I haven't played much online recently (I've taken up an addictive game called Boom Beach, and starting another called Goodgame Galaxy), but when I do, the $7.70 triple ups are fun and money in the bank. No, you won't win every time, but +EV. I look forward to your posts. I play real snug at first (when others play loose), and swing into action when the stakes get higher. Is this how you approach it? Also, early on, if I have a premium hand and there are limpers, I often go all in. You'd be surprised how often A-9 or some other marginal hand will call.<br /><br />Triple ups are different from other forms of tournaments, and I'd be interested in reading strategy/approach pieces if you'd care to share.Memphis MOJOhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/12653631347560307425noreply@blogger.com
