Trading Aces Challenge freerolls Played like a pro 2damm - just think theres 4 more of these to go ... must send a thankyou note to the Editor :ok for arranging such a super tourney. I'm gonna give my (extra) copy of SuperSystem II to my brother for his birthday. If I do as well in the rest of them then most of my brothers will get a copy. Suspect there will be more entrants as the touney progresses. Can they only get rid of Super System II by giving it away :rollin Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

GaF Posted November 21, 2005 Share Posted November 21, 2005 Re: Betfair CITY A.M. Trading Aces Challenge freerolls Can they only get rid of Super System II by giving it away :rollin Have you read it? I'm not impressed. It's philossify is something like "If you have the chance of runner runner cards to win the hand then raise aggressively (and even all-in)" - I could never aspire to play like that........I'll see if I can dig out some quotes later ........ completely different to the philossifies advocated in "Harrington on Hold'em" which seems a far better approach. Anyway - that's off topic - the real business in this thread - 2damn - your PB is just going up - you're straight into 13th......... :clap :clap Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
philossify Posted November 22, 2005 Share Posted November 22, 2005 Re: Betfair CITY A.M. Trading Aces Challenge freerolls Hi GAF, yep I skimmed through Super System II it and whilst there was some entertainment value in the reminiscences (must use a spell checker someday) of big pots in big games, I thought it wasn't of much relevence to the sort of poker most of us play. In face to face games for thousands upon thousands of dollars per hand then sure an aggressive, watch the body language, ignore the odds. and bluff/bully like crazy style of play has its merits (a few) - but in games where all you are risking is a few dollars (or nothing if its a freeroll) then it at best only starts to apply when you get down to the final few (or when you are getting low stacked and need a miracle). We've all been in tournaments where theres a crazy guy going all-in with rubbish on the first few hands (which can actually be a valid tactic in freerolls provided once you get a decent stack you start to play normally ) - generally they never prosper - maybe they've been paying too much attention to SS II. :D IMHO theres much better advice available on the net and in other books than in SS II for the average to above average online player - most of the people on PL are above average, partly I'm sure because they take the time to participate in PL and discuss their game. p.s. I'm a big fan of muppets :clap and never disparage their occasional piece of luck (it keeps their belief system going :rollin ) - over the long term they are money in the bank. :cow Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Take one Clipper Lighter then soak it in Chang lager for about 5 to 6 mins and then introduce "said" lighter to shirt.
