What's the volume like at the $20ish level SNG chop?

Turbos and dons constant.

Regular speed steady unless it's 2am.

Most of bovadas traffic is USA so it dies down real late at night

So here's maybe the funniest one yet.

Playing in a MTT at 5dimes

In the BB with AJ hearts, folds to button, button min raises, SB min 3bets, I call, button calls.

Flop A J 4, 2 diamonds

SB checks, I check, button bets, SB shoves, I call, button calls

Cards turned up, button has A3 offsuit, SB has...wait for it...9 10 offsuit

Of course he has the 10 of diamonds and it comes diamond diamond

Hilarious

HC...i think it depends on chip stacks. no doubt SB luckboxed his way there but his moves might not be too bad...although I don't have the marbles to play like that.

Preflop - folds to button, could be a position raise so his 3-bet isn't too bad with his connector

post flop - he checks, you check, and button again in position with a raise. if the pot was significant and he thought button had nothing i can see a raise there. you look like you are an auto flold with your big blind call and check after the flop.


hope you had the biggest stack and are still going strong.

Nope the SB had the biggest stack and knocked us both out.

You cannot rationalize that play. Odds are too good I am slow playing something behind him given I flatted a 3 bet PF. And the chip stacks were such that when the button bet it was half his stack...SB was not gonna get button to fold regardless of what I did.

I don't care about the awful play, I encourage it, but it's just frustrating when you see it constantly get rewarded.

the fact he had the biggest stack rationalizes it a bit more to me. hard to call with something marginal if your tourney life is at stake.

agree with these awful odds getting hit. You should have won that hand...

This game requires you to really have balls of steel... get over the anger real quick, don't blow up. Last 3 days playing at the local poker room, live poker... I saw and had really ugly beats, and while maybe I saw 2 or 3 while online maybe I see 10-15 but it could be multitable perspective distorting the reality of the game. I player at pokerstars today no complains... multiplied my bankroll 27 times on a really amazing roll.

5D is no no... william hill is a no no... 888poker is a no no... only places ill play from now on are the big 3 (PS-FT-PP)
