SnGs v MTT final tables
Does anyone think SnGs are good preparation for MTT final tables? I'd be interested to hear if anyone has deliberately played SnGs just for final table experience. The big difference I can see is the size of the blinds, leading to you often playing 30 or 40 minutes with the same people in a SnG, whereas you may only have…

What happened next?
Early doors in last night's £3 Orfordable. 96 runners, 5,000 starting points, & we are on Level 4 or 5. All three of us in this hand were playing quite deep, & there were still 77 runners left. EP makes it 1,200, Mid-Pos jams for 11,000. I had QQ. What happened next? And why.

slowplaying KK
Coxy is a very compentant multi-tabler. Can very easily open light/3bet light/bluff with air etc. Have history with him too but respect for his game. Playing him across 4 tables on 50nl/100nl.

What would you have done with AK in this situation?

Hi guys, How many times has it happened to you, that something in your mind is telling you to call or raise with your hand but your common sense end up taking over, weighs up the odds, and then you end up folding instead.

Overthinking things? Or right on the money? **WARNING: It's a Long Post!**
I'm sure the regs on the forums have noticed I haven't been around for the last week or 2. The last time I played on the site, I got a slap around the head by the boss and swiftly got a verbal warning for playing poker rather than working (whoops!), but that's just a coincidence, that's not the reason why i've stopped…
