I have some VERY bad news for you. You are on Team DP I believe.
Unlucky Sir.
Usually I tend to avoid them like the plague (A2 to A8). I will play A9 & upwards very aggressively dependant on position, how deep I am in the tourney and my opponents general play - mixing it up a bit I suppose.
I am past been surprised by some players willingness to go all in these rag aces. The question is......
Is there a case (apart maybe being very short stacked) for doing this?
Would (have) you ever play(ed) these cards and when?
nevery mind only lost 6 pounds the day on her and think i most have played about 30 games so think that is like winning the lotto lol chat soon
I think you KNOW my views on this!
It depends how you play them. Players can Raise with Any Two, & I would never protest, that's fine, including Rag Aces. It's calling with them that has me wringing my hands in despair. Well, to be honest, just "calling" is the thing that is so bad, be it Rag Aces or almost any hand. Technically, it's achingly bad to call a Raise, or even limp, with rag aces.
James Hartigan & I did the Show last night, & it was pretty sad to see so much limping going on when the Blinds were huge, & players had 4, 5, 6 or 7 x BB. The TV Channel has several remits, but they include "entertaining" & "educational". I think, to varying degrees, we satisfy the first, but we've clearly failed in the latter, & it pains me.
It's as a direct result of this that I'm engaging with players - inexperienced, newbie players ONLY - to have a series of private "Boot-Camps" around the country. (See "Any Plans for a Boot-Camp" in the Sky Poker Announcements Board). I am not getting paid to do these, & I'll stand my own expenses, so there will be no charge for them, but I really want to help newbie players conquer the very basics. Now & then I do a little private mentoring of newbies, & it's incredibly satisfying to see how much their game improves with a few tweaks, & a grasp of the fundamental basics.
It works though - I've lost getting on for 3 stone now, in less than 8 weeks. Which I'm pretty pleased about, to be honest!
Weirdly, I had a monstrous beer-belly. And I've been teetotal since I was 21. Go figure.
have being trying to get in to the SPUKT leg 4 but every time i try they is not unuff plays to make 1 seat of late think sky sholud let me in for free so i can defend my title from the SPUKT scotlish lag last year !
wot do you think about that or will you just let me no when i will be able to just buy in to it like you have done for the last few legs but think the winner from all last years leg winnines sholud have got in for free to defend they titles wood have made it more fun for every one on the day i think !
if you let me in for free i will give 80% of my winnings away to charity !
Right now, the main promotion is of the Viva Las Vegas Super Sats, remember, there are still 6 weeks before SPT Glasgow. When it gets nearer the time, they will make a bit of noise, & there are always lots of players who leave it to the last minute to qualify, so the Super Sats will soon start filling again.
So you are the gentleman who won at the Gala Maybury last year, yes? Well done you. I could have sworn your alias was "YoungUn" or similar, have I had brain-fade?
no sorry tk think your starting to lose it but have a very good frined that plays on her with a name colse to that ( youngster ) will i am away for the next week had a nice win this week ( got 4 in the $250k guaranteed william hill on sunday ) and wife wots to get away why the wee man is of school so just have to do as i am told tacking my laptop so mit try and get a wee game ! if i get time !

Why is it that you do not always win the bounty when you win the hand?
If you go all-in at the turn, with the winning hand, vs small stack all-in & any others,
then the big stack shoves on the river to force any others off a side pot,
big stack loses hand but takes the bounty as well as the side pot.
Have you tried looking here?
Sorry, but tikay cannot see individual players hands, I would suggest pasting it into the Holdem poker startegy where I am sure someone will answer you.
I have started a post on the transition here, you usualy get very useful tips from our great forum members, keep an eye on it
