Message: [QUOTE="Bill_Hollorian, post: 358650, member: 5756"] Interesting post. I may be conused but it seems there are 2 diferent points going on. 1.) Bluffs, or steal attempts running into 221/1 values. and 2.) stacking off out of neccesity and running into a 221/1 value. By the way, if you sit down at a table where everyone is the same skill... You will know the best player, because he will be the one walking toward the exit door. OK in a tourney you can't do that. So, what you generally see is a complete shut down. I have been at tables where I was clearly the worst player at the table. So, I got to listen to some great stories, from the old time pros, and watch my blinds pay for a great education. But, while all the other tables in the tourney were mixing it up, my table never had a chip swing of more than 500 dollars the entire first day. When you bluff/steal, what percentage of your stack are you commiting. Ask yoursel if in this spot what your steal result will be if successul, and what the penalty for ailure will be? It is rarely a good idea to bluff more than 8% of your stack. Therefor stealing pots is the luxurty of the bigger stacks. Bigger stacks means you have more tools in the tool box. If you are short stacked, and looking for any 2 cards so to speak. try to be OUT of postion, but not in the blinds. Your largest equity is by removing post flop play, rom a player in postion, plus both blinds are live. OKOK if the hand comes while on the button of course push. But, in the Im short, I gotta make a move situation, out of position is better. Good thread! Bill [/QUOTE]
