Preflop Raise Sizing -- Take II

This is not fact but opinion.

Raise to give callers 1.5:1 pot odds in MTT.

If there are limpers ahead a better hand is required to raise (ATo mucked) but raise is increased by amount of limps.

Reraise resteals should be pot sized unless you become pot committed then reraise jam.

Preflop Raising Sizing in MTTs

Apologies.

I have finally gotten software support at work and have found recently that even I don't have time to read a whole Hoy post. Especially when he publishes after my lunch time.

When raising pre-flop choose a raise size to give BB 1.5:1 odds to call.

Almost No Poker Content

Fucking Surflexus won his seventh fucking Mookie tournament last night.

Job was looking better Monday, now it sucks.

Boss being eunuch is reason.

Mooke Curse

Winning the Mookie basically means you are a luckdonk suckbox idiot. Congratulations to Emptyman for being the latest to prove he sucks at poker.

Chat ban is unfair if I can not get ban.

Lost yawn.

3rd in 50-50

Today you have to read the whole post:

Congrats to Hoy for his 3rd for ~$5k in 50-50.

Reversal of Fortune

Sorry for late posting, left work with sinus headache this morning.

It is 3 degress in NY brrrr, 67 in San Jose.

Tilt has lifted, it's a miracle. Cashed in FTOPS 9 despite AA being cracked by a turned set two hands in. Congrats to Chad for 35th! Played 7 SNG Sunday with 7 cashes. The mood has lifted.

Lesson of the Day:
When you get caught stealing just admit you got caught stealing and fold when you obviously get caught and are holding a hand that is quite likely dominated and almost surely behind

Tonight is 6 Max NLHE tonight with the MATH and FTOPS 10. Wish Hoy and Bayne and any other bloggers playing luck.

Tilt Continues

Tilt sucks, need to turn it around tonight or Event #9.

Even Chad tilts:

Dealer: Aaron Bartley shows 8,7,6,3,2
Dealer: cracknaces shows 7,6,4,2,A
Dealer: cracknaces wins the pot (3,398) with 7,6,4,2,A
Dealer: Hand #5165521026
cracknaces: just for you Bartley
Aaron Bartley: now THATS bad
cracknaces: fight fire wirh fire, how does it feel to be donked?
Aaron Bartley: shrug, thanks for trying

That pretty much made my night. Bartley is about as bad a HORSE player as there is among the ftp "pros".
