MTT, STT or Live......that's the question.

So I'll have the house to myself tonite and can't decide to try and play a grinding session of my standard STT's or a few MTT's (been playing the $3r and really enjoying the chaos) or hit the ATM and take the long (5 minute) drive to the boat.

It's going to be tough. Luckily I have all day to decide. The boat is the most enticing but I have to be up ~early tomorrow and really should be home when the family gets home tonite. But........

I'll probably play the $20+2 at ~6 (or whenever it is) and the $3r at 8. I've been enjoying playing MTT's a bit more lately even tho' I still suck at them. I sent a few hands from the rebuy last week to Tdizzle and was pleased to see I accidentally made a few correct decisions.

Got my HH grabber to work. So Hopefully I'll start posting some hands. My problem is that I'm so lazy, when I remember to take the time to post hands I'll forget the context of the hand. No info=not helpful.

We'll see.

Completing from the SB in a STT/I'm back

I forgot my password when blogger "reset". Not sure how much I'll keep up w/ this, since I don't have the best track record in the past, but I'm going to try (echo...echo...)

There's a great thread on CP in the SNG section discussing completing from the SB PrF. The beauty of it, like many great CP threads, is that it was intended for entertainment and ended up becoming a strategy discussion.

These threads are always gold. Starts out w/ someone posting a hand they deemed "interesting". In reality it's quite the opposite. Someone points out to the OP that a mistake they made in the hand and the comedy ensues.

Basically, the OP in this little saga complete from the SB w/ several limpers in front w/ J-3 clubs. When another poster politely pointed out that it was "incorrect" he then chose to defend his "play" by his 11:1 odds he was getting on his .5 blind. LOL.

It really is posts like this that renew my hope that the games are still very beatable and we still have "those guys" putting money online. I really can't think of any better reply by someone than when they spout the odds they are "getting on their money". Reminds me of the character Keving from "The Office" commenting that "if someone gives you 10:1 odds you take it...... If John Mellencamp ever wins an Oscar, let's just say I'll be a very rich man." If i knew how to embed I would.

I'm back playing strictly STT SNG's, barring coming home drunk on Tuesdays and bleeding money at the the cash tables or having a "good feeling" regarding the rebuy's. GRRRRRRrrrrr.....
