As you know Trevor decided to give me the free entry prize from DTD. It's now been sorted and I have a seat in the £600 30 min timed tourney to be shown live on 861 @7-10p.m.tonight ! I played a few timed games when they started them but i'm a novice at them. Is there a best way to play these or do I just go for it if I have a good hand? I'm thinking that they play like a dym? Any advice welcome.
In Response to Re: Official - TPT (Team Poker Titans) Tribulations & Cashes: UOTE]Nice cashes all small one from 2pm MRBURNS4 0 7 £23.70 + £4.69 Head Prizes 1 I am finding a dissapointing trend and happened today again players who do a bad beat on you or just hit their cards feel new table manors are to gloat or to tell you how you should play the game when they knock you out. I dont care I stand up for myself but I hope this is a trend we stamp out on Sky as turns a very pleasent site into something different. Posted by MRBURNS4
MRBURNS you could teach a lot of players on this site how to play poker so dont take it to heart. They are just Jealous.

Hi Dagg. My advice for the 30 min timed tournies is...........................
Treat them like a satelite, the idea is just to survive, however, the big difference is.........Open Shove ALL Premium Hands (You will get called by junk alot of the time)
Fold EVERYTHING else, even hands like Small Pairs, J10, Q10, QJ, KJ KQ and also fold all your smaller connected cards pre-flop.
If the tables not too aggro I tend to flat call Mid Pockets in the early stages and fold them after the first 2 or 3 levels. If you do bink the set, then shove the lot in to any bet.
To cash in these we need to play tight but very aggresive with our premiums, otherwise we will just be leaking chips due to the amount of shoves we will see pre-flop and on the flop.
You may only get 3 or 4 opportunity's to double and multi-player shoves are quite common so make those premiums count.
Thanks for your advice Trevor. I was thinking I need to play mega tight and be extra aggressive when I have premium hands so it's good to have that confirmed. Is it not worth playing small pairs if the price is cheap enough? ( I'm so used to set mining lol)
Edited to say: I've just looked at the structure and with 5 min blinds and big increases in the levels I guess it isn't profitable to play the small pairs.

Hi Dagg
Basically Trev is spot on although I probably play a bit looser than him early doors and a lot of his hands that he would fold early on I wouldnt. -( I like to get a lead early)I play tight in the middle and then nearer the end when people are nervous about coming away with nowt I pressure them more (but beware the last hand shovers who will just try to double up with anything as they think they have notheing to lose. One thing definite though is when you have the hands be far more aggressive than you even think. in other words instead of 3 or 4 betting make it 6 or 8. people call with c rap
Just remember the aim is to come out with a profit and not neccessary win
cheers mate
ps - wouldnt call myself an expert in this just suits my low attention span lol
getting seriously pished off now 4 heads up games and 3 tourneys in a row, gone in with the best hand in each and been rivered in every single one by either top pair and they hit rag kicker on river or rag ace hitting their ace on the river
Ok I am 41 years old acting like a kid at christmas again yes its SPT time ))_)))))))))
Leaving in the morning for my short 7 hour trip down the road But want to go now lol
Good luck to all going to Notts and hope we can have a TPT final table. I will play the Turbo I hope Friday eve so I hope to see some of you there. Be good to know who will be there tomorrow to say hi to and safe journesy all
this is ridiculous i have now played a total of 8 tournos and 4 hu games in each and every single one i have been ahead in most cases way ahead and they have won on the river this is absolutely ridiculous not varience or bad luck for the last 2 i even posted in the chat box what the river card would be as the cards came out
MINI SPT SATURDAY NIGHT ANYONE? Ok I have this idea for a £5-50 10 seater sit n go (not dym) for those of us not going to Notts. I'll sit at the first available 10 seater at 9pm and you will have to find me (as my find a player is not working properly). Lets see if we can fill it with TPT. Post your interest on her to seee if its worthwhile but it willl have to be first come first served on Sat night.
