Lame. I've been playing with this guy for at least 30 minutes. I don't raise much but none the less, I raise big PF, I bet 2650 off flop, and shove off of turn. Guy calls with a pair of 10s. Given earlier play, I don't know how this guy could NOT put me on AA, KK, QQ, AQ AK. But his K10 is sooted :think2::think2::think2:

I guess all that time I spend playing tight doesnt matter if people don't pay attention.

I guess it is back to cash games for me.

At least I can make money there.

You know the "trick"?<><>

People just play way too loose in general, especially in tourneys and especially at those stakes, for a play like that to work consistently

its poker

I used to all the time, but mainly just with friends. Eventually however, gambling - and losing - lost its edge.

keep on betting and raising and DON`T fold any hand, that in cash games; in tourneys,play tight the first hour

Horrible advice:smoking:

I should not have said that, but it works at Cake

Thats why you have to pick your spots and sometimes fold a big hand online because people play ANYTHING and dont care.

Live poker is far better and you get SOMEWHAT better play.
