Get serious people!

[BradysDad]

Hard to get too excited about a freeroll. many players arent taking it as serious as you are.

hi try to get into this carbon tourny.

[2sweet247]

With any free roll or even cheap buy-in, the one thing people will say or think " It didn't cost me anything or much", so they play like a nit.

The trick is to know your opponents, I take lots of notes and I also watch sometimes even if i'm not playing. But it all comes down to how serious they are taking the game. Sometimes I play to win, sometimes I just play. Good luck all.

i dont try to be a hero, i wait someone call and hit him, if he gets lucky on every call he gets i dont mind, ill just keep folding and play HU with him .....

[ssuglia]

Why would rags call you? That might happen in Step1 or the big freerolls but that shouldn't be happening in the beginning of a private tourney. People that go all in at the start of the tourney are idiots. Even AK is not that far ahead of two random cards.

I've never been one to tell people how to play poker (unless they come to me for advice).

I'd prefer to sit at a table full of "idiots" as you call them any day. Having a skill advantage over your opponents is never a bad thing.

But when them idiots are hitting alot arent they called pros LOL

All you can do is weigh ur options and get it in with best hand. AA or KK is not a hand i want to call 3 or 4 allins with..

No. A pro doesn't go into a tournament when blinds are less than 1% of their stack and risk it all on a coin flip. That would actually be negating the skill advantage that they have.

I believe one of the Harrington books he does the math and explains why it is such a negative ev play.

[unstouched]

its part of the game i usually dont play my first few hands no matter what they are because i seem to always get beat by some bs

[cookmanC]
