GaF Posted February 19, 2007 Share Posted February 19, 2007 Re: Mansion 100K tounry - advice please 1) People are prepared to get involved with you with less than decent holdings - there are definitely loose players, I would not necessarily class them all as muppets/wombles. Dont expect many calling stations - their play is aggressive!!! 2) I've found tight play is the best for the first hour - need to bet and be aggressive when you have the goods - overbets dont tend to be paid off though (as they would at the levels we're more used to) 3) Yes it tightens up around the bubble - but there are the fair share of players who will take advantage of this/their stacks and try to bully the table.... 4) Good luck mate :ok Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Norfolk Enchance Posted February 19, 2007 Share Posted February 19, 2007 Re: Mansion 100K tounry - advice please I've played it 11 times, unfortunately I haven't made a final table yet and have only cashed twice (finishing 20th and 39th). So I'm more or less breaking even on them so far. With the value on offer though I am sure I will be ahead in the long term.... assuming mansion keep them going*. To answer your questions: 1. Generally average. There are some very bad players but nowhere near the same % wise as you would find in freerolls or $5-$10 MTTs. 2. I wouldn't advocate not playing a hand that isn't AA or KK in the first hour but yes you can generally play tight. I have never gone out in the first hour and although I will pick my moments to enter pots and try and build my stack, I am careful not to over commit myself early on. 3. Yes people get very tight, more so than I expected actually. So if you want to win the tournament and the bubble is approaching don't be shy ;) Good luck. * anyone know how long they are going on for?

robilaruk Posted February 19, 2007 Author Share Posted February 19, 2007 Re: Mansion 100K tounry - advice please thanks for the advice and good wishes in these 'big buy in/big payout' games (the 25K on sporting and similar games on paradise) I have always played ultra tight for the first hour and got to the 100/200 blind stage with probably around 1500-2K in chips assuming I haven't hit anything - and then found myself getting my cash in the middle with AQ AJ 88 etc against folks with 10K+ stacks am just wondering if this is the right strategy to play - if I don't hit at any time during the first hour I lose about a 1/4 of my stack or so - am wondering if the 15 min blinds on mansion make a massive difference? (they tend to be 12 mins on other sites so you have an extra level before the break) it doesn't have the blind structure on the site - is it 10/20 15/30 25/50 50/100 if so I'll see about 10 BB and be down about 500 chips if i autofold everything but AA and KK - so not too bad? I haven't played an MTT is ages (its been cash only), so my play is a little rusty at the mo! Cheers Damo Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
GaF Posted February 19, 2007 Share Posted February 19, 2007 Re: Mansion 100K tounry - advice please I wouldn't play THAT tight - limp in position (Button and Cut Off) with drawing hands (other pairs and connectors) too ...... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

robilaruk Posted February 19, 2007 Author Share Posted February 19, 2007 Re: Mansion 100K tounry - advice please LOL - only one on mine so far just looking at the tounry board :) have a LAAG on our table and then he got caught, and has stopped my table is generally very tight - which is nice, as there are no hard decisions to make :) Damo Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
robilaruk Posted February 19, 2007 Author Share Posted February 19, 2007 Re: Mansion 100K tounry - advice please oh well out in 317 saw 10 10 twice and finally 66 - which ran into AA and JJ when I had 8BB left and shoved LOL I am not very good at MTT's. unless I hit good cards I get short stacked and then struggle - every one else on my table had 5K+ and I was nursing my 1700 or so - need to be more aggressive earlier levels and gamble for chips? where's my HoH books????
