Re: ** Poker Diary Weekdays 17th-21st Sept **

I won a tourney on SJ tonight. Only found it minutes before the start, so did manage to post. It's called The Weekly Grand. 1k GTD $11 and had only 40ish players. Just to keep an eyeon, as it might be there next Thursday.
There is one in the lobby on 24th.

Re: Stan James Weekly Grand yes you can call it it bingo but you have to understand that it is a cheap game of bingo at the start of a mtt when people are deep or later when people are stacked - they have every right to play bingo in some cases as they know they will stack you if they hit the flop hard.............granted this is not an advisable startegy to play when you have a low M or when you are calling large all in shoves which equate to a large % of your stack (i.e ooblios call). I used to be a very tight ABC player but now as I multi-table several low stakes MTTs i would much prefer to play cheap bingo for a round or two - either to get a stack or go out - than waste three hours grinding a nano stack to hang in for a min cash. This is only my personal view but i can def say that i am winning more or certainly on an average night get a much better ROI and higher cash when i do cash in a mtt rather than a large volume of min-cashes which in the long run are really not what i play for especailly as it is low stakes. So i guess we can all moan about these players but i think you have to understand why they do it. Yes - there is also soem that are just plain bad too. The point is that this is poker and if you think you have an edge or are better than most then you shoudl accept this, adjust your strategy to deal with it and accept due to variance etc... that you will sometimes lose when you have the best hand. In ooblios defnece - there is a high chance he had the option of several other games in 32red (same network as SJ) so maybe he wnated to either doubel up or leave so he could go play those juicy games.....

Re: Stan James Weekly Grand

seems to be a regular overlay for this' date=' not sure how long SJ will be keep it going[/quote'] How long did they run that monthly 8k with like 5k overlay each month (and often qualifiers to it where they gave away tickets for 8k or the qualifiers itself had an overlay) Think Stan James has deep enough pockets. Thank you SJ!

Re: ** Poker Diary Weekdays 17th-21st Sept **

elaborate
Just lmao when I busted a guy, who went crazy in the chat about bingoplayer this and that, when he had KJo and opened and he called my 3bet PF (I had KQ on button). Flop comes JTx rainbow. He donkbets OOP in a 3betpot (lol) I raise his donkbet saying I can't never fold and I rep basically a real good hand there. He pushes allin over my raise for not much more(think about 6-1 on my money). I have to call with my openender and overcards. Turn blank and river 9.
