You should be folding the same % of hands anyway. It makes no sense at all, unless you think you have no edge.
I can imagine some spots where I wouldn't quick fold. Like a relative short stack realy close to the buble. But as a standart is quick fold, quick fold, quick fold and steal A LOT.

If we continue to “quick fold” every hand we will be blinded down to nothing by the ante's in a matter of minutes. This is very important! No more quick fold!

No offence sir, you're bigger than me in sng's/mtt's, but i this advice doesn't look too good. I hate math so providing a solid mathematical explanation is a little out of my reach, but:

- if you have an edge, why don't you use it? When you have 15-20BB that edge would be raising with crap from LP to pick up the pots with antes and restealing.

I do understand why not quickfolding feels like a good idea, since bad players will play a lot of hands as long term losers and when they knock each other out they give you equity. But you have to be there and crush them.

- I don't get why antes are such a big deal. The way I see it it's completely equivalent to larger blinds. Whitout antes a round at the table cost 1.5BB, with antes let's say 2.5BB. That means with antes you get "charged" 66% more.

So if the blinds are 200/400 ante 40 let's say you're stack is 6400 you don't have 16BB you actually have 10 "adjusted blinds" -assuming the table is full.
( should be the same thing transforming M into BB).

I haven't actually played rush MTT's but i plan on starting in a few weeks. I'm very curious about 2 things:

- how many games/hour? I made the math with 4/hour, eventually going for more (12$);
- how big the ROI? From what i figured it should be somewhere between 50% and 100% depending on how good i am.

This is a strategy for beginners, it will not max your edge if you are a decent player obv.
I didnt cover being short in much detail now i wish i did.

I repeat this is not an optimal strategy If it was do you really think I would post it in my blog?? :f_biggrin:

What you should have said is "If I throw a dog a bone, I don't want to know if it tastes good"

Congratz on the diplomacy though, how are you keeping?

Ha ha, quality film!

I like how he says if he stops him again he will cut his nuts off then does it anyway

I've been pretty ill mate for about a week or so, not played much poker because of it.
But other than that im still alive so thats good :f_cool:

I see you are getting into Dora the explora, I speak from experience when I say that is a bad bad idea :f_o:
My girl got into it when she was 3 or 4 and it ruled her life and mine for about 6 months. Now I would be quite happy to terminate the makers of that show

So good luck

Nah we're steering clear of Dora, it's all about Peppa Pig and Sylvanian Families this time round. To be honest though I could give her a stack of blocks or some train track and she'd play for hours rather than the 5 minutes she spends with her dolls.

Hope you're feeling better soon.


if shes anything like my cat she will love old card board boxes and lasers.

Russian hackers at it again.

Fifa: " I know lets give it to a nation that cant grow grass.....hello injuries!"

I would rather see it go to spain and portugal, I have nothing against russia or its people but they should never be allowed to host a world cup.

I feel hacked

I'm gutted.

How they can give it to Russia, a country that's so underprepared as it stands, over the motherland of football, and the most potentially profitable country. Just goes to show that money prevails all imo.

Bribes ldo. $300bn in political bribes a year ? I think they can afford a few quid for the FIFA delegates.

They have to borrow footballers who aren't good enough to get in the Brazil squad ! They even had to borrow Zinedine Zidane as a face, wtf does he have to do with Qatar ?

Did you know Qatar have to build air conditioned indoor stadiums because its too hot!

Im sure everyone will agree the world cup should only go to Europe The Americas and the Aussies.

I was annoyed not because we didn't get it when we clearly had the best bid (Although i'm gutted obv) but if we didn't it should have gone to Spain and Portugal who clearly had the second best bid.

Sometimes its hard being English as we are clearly hated throughout the world :f_cry:

Something's bugging be in the last few days: blind stealing. Low loose do you steal the blinds in the stages of a rush MTT?

At least a clue about these ranges?


Hi mate, any updates on the backing? :f_p:
