An Anthology of 2+2 Wisdom on MTTs - MTT Poker Strategy - Multi Table Tournament Poker Forum. Anthology Thread - Beginning Poker Questions - Beginner Poker Forum. Poker Software A guide to PokerTracker and PAHud. The 2+2 Forum Archives: How to use Poker Tracker. Not a week goes by that someone doesn't ask if they are playing the game right. In that post, they include a dozen numbers from Poker Tracker and hope that the old-timers on SSNL can fix all their holes. While it's true that Poker Tracker can help find problems, this is not the way to approach it. I'm going to try to give you a rough guide for the things you can do to check on your game. These are all just my opinion; they're all subject to interpretation, and other people may disagree with me strongly.

The best way to play is usually player-specific, but these strike me as some things you can check on that are frequent flaws in the small-stakes player's game. 1. 2. To test this, go to the Position Stats and look down the list of VPIP from Button to UTG. 3. 4. 5. 6. 7. 8. 9. 10. 11.

A Collection of Advice on playing PokerStars 180 man Sit and Go's - MTT Poker Strategy - Multi Table Tournament Poker Forum. I went back and searched each month for all posts involving either the $4/180s or the $20/180s since the $20s were created in Oct 05. I can not vouch for how sound the advice is in all these threads...some may disagree...some may agree.

These however are all the 180 posts I could find that were not simply hand specific..i.e "how do you play this hand". Anyone can search and find these posts but using the search function is annoying and I figured it would be easier for everyone if we simply had them all in one thread. The majority of the 180 posts are hand specific types. The strat posts are few and far between...so this is all I could find. Hope it is useful for you. I also sought out several regulars who played the 180s and asked if I could convert their winning hand histories and post them. On a sidenote...every Saturday at 8pm EST there will be a $4/180 Royal Rumble contest. Congrats to LastSamuri for taking home the $130 for his $10 investment.

That is all. PokerStars $20/180s. My 45/180 man turbo attempted containment thread - MTT Poker Strategy - Multi Table Tournament Poker Forum. Ok so I finally got fed up about the number of threads appearing Re:45 mans/180 mans/turbos/variance etc and so decided to put together a little collection of the best of's.

Hopefully it can be stickied or added to the anthology, if not I may just bump it every single day until I die. 45 Man'sHardgeus' Guide to PokerStars 45 Man Turbo Tournaments A pretty in depth look into 45's with some good discussion included.

The N00b's guide to using pokerstove (1K post - tl;dr) - Micro Stakes Poker Forum - Micro Stakes Texas Holdem. As I have reached a milestone in my 2+2 experience I decided I should give something back from my limited wisdom and experience. When contemplating what I could contribute I figured that since I am no master player or great theoretician of poker I would do well to stay away from any deep insightful posts, as I can imagine most of what I would have to say has already been said and probably better than I could have ever put it into words. On the other hand, this being the micros, we are constantly faced with waves (well this is LHE, so maybe “waves” is an overstatement, trickles might be more appropriate) of new posters and they are usually asking the same questions.

So I tried to look back at when I first started out playing and discovering 2+2 as to what issues did I initially struggle with and could have used some guidance on early on.

The 2+2 Forum Archives: Quick guide to satellite qualifying for big events. I don't pretend to know everything about sats, but they are my strongest game, and I've made bankrolls from scratch on 4 separate sites solely through qualifying for big ticket stuff or taking the money very cheaply. I am gonna make some fairly big assertions here that I don't want to take the time to/sometimes can't prove, but believe to be right: [*I am open to a $1000 or more wager that I can make it from a miniStep 1 (5+1) to a miniStep 5 (400+30) playing on $30 or less. I'd make it less than that but I've gotta leave room for aces getting cracked.

Of course, this blatantly ignores $/hour.] Having gone through the random assertions, here's some conclusions that you can draw from them: 1)Satellites are a lot more valuable when they pay lots of seats, don't take very long and have lots of dead money.
