And I hope you realise we are 100& onside with you in your quest to conquer different Formats.
We are Tesco like, innit - every little helps.
Thnks Dohx7.
That 4-4 coup is a pretty tough decision.
My first reaction, on seeing the stacks & blinds, was "yes, auto-shove".
Then I saw the Shortie had 1,740. Can we wait/hope he perishes & we cruise through? But we gotta pay our Blinds before he does so again......
A very awkward one. I think I might have shoved, too, but I'm not 100% sure of the optimal play here. If I had, say, KQ it's a lot easier to shove.
Amyway, youi seem to be doing OK.
How's google Chrome working for you Any better than IE or Firefox?
Par for the course in DYM's IMO.
Chrome is good ........ Safari (apple) is better and faster and prettier.
As an aside, I was watching one of Doh's DYM's, & I saw an extraordinary play. (Doh not in the hand).
It was 25/50, eveyone was close to 2,000 chips.
Limp, limp, limp, shove for 2,000, fold. fold, Call.
Shover had T-T. Caller had K-T.
Go figure that!
Buit that's why is good to sit & wait in these. Let the others do the hard work, we'll settle for the soft route.
1) if you have a shove monkey on the table, avoid him and let someone else deal with him.
2) Allow yourself about 300 chips early on to see some flops and try to take them down. Best case you have about 3000 worst case about 1700.
3) The most important time of the game is at the 15 minute mark because that is when the largest blind increase comes 25/50 to 50/100
4) When you are in and around the bubble time and you are looking to bully. Attack the medium stacks because they are most likely to fold. The small and large stacks will have much wider calling ranges so only attack them with better hands.
Hope these points help
I've tried to sit tight and wait for some hands but especially last night they just did not come and I ended up grinding my way to 2/5 cashes which I was disappointed with. But I bubbled two of them and lost a flip in the other. I just ended up folding my way to being one of the short stacks and doing then shoving 9s into the bb who inevitably has me crushed.
Today I have done four more and cashed in 2/4 although one of my cashes was a higher stake so I'm in profit.. First loss I flopped a straight with 1.2k left and bet out on 3 spade flop and was put all in, wanted to fold but with 900 back I couldn't see how and he showed me the flush which was lovely.
I managed to fold AQ on a queen high board in the other loss and the guy showed me kings only five hands later to check my bb of J7 and jam 800 chips (blinds 400) on a 7 high flop into aces...
Just seems to me that you can play as well as you want to but your result is going to come down to one or two spots in the game and if they don't go your way then you aint cashing.
Great advice, that is near enough what I try and always do in stt, nice to know that others do the same and I am not in fact playing it entirly wrong

Nobody is losing interest man - the Thread length, in 5 or 6 hours, tells us that.
Remember something. 99% of us are not in Total Player, but we are living the dream journey through you guys. So keep this stuff coming. And if any of you scoop big one day, we'll feel a part of that.
That 9-9 hand?
1) Hard to figure how someone could even imagine limping, let alone limp-folding, with 6 x BB's. I'd have been scared he was trapping with Aces or something!
2) But worrying about Aces aside, I am NOT making it 800 here. You can maybe make a case for folding, and we are NEVER flatting, but me, I'm shoving with 9-9 in this spot, all day long. And I'm Mr RockityNitty the RockNit from RockNitVille.*
*Normally, KK is the bottom of my range, in case anyone gets funny ideas. OK?
PS - How is google Chrome performing?
Lol u can see tikay my instincts with the 99 here, are as u said, to shove, n go for it, applying pressure is my game whatever structure Ive played in the past, but its all the advice about caution and the game structre thats held me back, so Ive been caught inbetween. I know If I shove, I should get the BB behind off AK, AQ maybe even 10 10, JJ, as hes in such a superior position.....
But him having tanked behind me, I HAVE to give him credit?
The google chrome is struggling. It runs fine, and in places starts lagging bad, especially when short handed and the actions constantly on me. Having played 10, gna have a minute, I've re-downloaded Firefox just now and gonna give that ago for a few hours. It seemed to run fine last time, apart from completely freezing mid hand on a couple of occasions, but ill delete the temp files etc n try it.
Might just be sensible to buy another laptop, probably due one anyway.
Gona move up n play higher DYM's n sngs till the big TKO main event and the normal MEvent tonight!
Just a word for the guys who r replying here, the number of replies is getting high, but alot are mine, lol, I know theres hundreds of u who play this structure constantly, when U log on, the first thing u do is register for a DYM, experience is everything, and u must know what ur doing, duznt matter what level u play at, the winning formula must be basically the same, so Thanx, n I hope u keep helping me out, on the specific scenarios mentioned especially!
Here we go again! DOHH
I think you played it right - I would have shoved in your situation. That was my 3rd bubble in a row - each time losing a race with pp. It's very rarely easy!!
GL in your challenge
Good luck with your higher stake games tonight Dohhh.
Having seen the other responses, I think my read may have been wrong, I'm wobbling. (Not as much as Mr Limpity-Limp is though).
If Mr Limp-Fold has 6 x BB, we might as well declare our innings, the job is done, & we can sit out & wait for him to keep limping until he eventually falls over. He can do the job for us.
Or you could always fold... but avoid the 3x raise.
I agree, an aggressive flat call is my favourite move.
