I think the phone ins show the difference between how a serious player and a recreational player views playing poker. Beaneh is ftw because he multi tables and knows the one win will put him in profit whereas the recreational might only be playing the one tourney and cashing is a big deal. I don't think either viewpoint is wrong.

You were fine. You were good and talked sense m8. Glad it's not just me that's full of insecurities when listening back though :-)
QUESTION FOR THE HOSTS, Ive always said to my friends and have never been agreed with but I think that in the WSOP main event first hand you get aces on the big blind, its folded round to the small blind and he goes all in then I would fold as not to risk all my chips in one hand. What do you think? Posted by Mr-Bell
you shouldn't be in the tourny if you're going to fold the physical best spots you can get in at any point. you've got so long to go till the cash and you cant guarantee to get as good a spot as this so just take your chance and try and get chips.

If I was playing one tournie i'd still play for the win because of :-
The enjoyment should come from playing well not from 'good results'. Results orientated thinking causes nebulous thoughts and irrational strategies. Posted by beaneh

i class myself as recreational but that doesnt mean i dont multi-table
the ultimate goal is to win but as talon said, the tourney cant be won in the mid stages but it can be lost. i've won a few decent MTT's playing my style, and no doubt beaneh's won his fair share with his style. i know one big win will put me in profit but theres no point sticking your neck out on the block chasing draws every time to get there.

You have to win chips at some point if you want to go deep or win so you're chips have to go in at some point, the best case is raise and get folds and never go to showdown but the shorter you get the more you go to showdown the more luck becomes involved in the short term.
edit- I only have 8 tables up now, busted 3 already and got 7 more on the way!

lol at making me look like a drunk who couldnt be bothered to talk on the phone... thanks for showing the hand, i was happy that i played it ok, if we were deeper stacks i would rereaise pre. i ended up losing the minimum even tho i was lucky to, then i went out with JJ vs AK next hand lol Posted by GREGHOGG
