While playing heads up sit and go’s I accidentally joined one of pokerstars new ‘no blind increases’ versions. What a mistake that was. They basically give you 1500 chips each, set the blinds at 15/30 and force you to play until someone loses their stack.I think this is เเทงหวยออนไลน์ response to everyone asking for heads up NL poker tables. It’s not the same though. The problem is that you can’t just play a few hands and then leave the table. You’re locked in until someone has all the chips. So if you sit in one of these there’s no estimating how long it can take.

It’s been almost 45 minutes and I’m still playing this $50 no blind increase sit and go. I’m at 1900 chips (i’ve been wavering between 1500 and 2000 the entire game). I tried offering a chop, but he hasn’t replied.

So if you read this post, don’t make the same mistake I did. Avoid the no blind increase sit and gos, because if you get stuck with another solid player, it will kill your earn rate.

FTR is a little like a family. There are the people you are close to, and care and cherish for, and then there are the annoying distant cousins (think internet trolls). There are also big family feasts, and small intimate dinners.

This week is small intimate dinner, filled with small, delicate, yet full of flavour morsels, beautifully arranged on the plate that is this article:

FTR Member Only Tournaments this Week:

Our Canadian and American cousins get the first delicious morsel this week, in the form of the Bovada/Bodog FTR Satellite for the Black Diamond Open Main Event. We have got 1 Seat Guaranteed, and with the Buy In standing at $3 + $0.30 not only could this be one of the cheapest ways to get a seat, it could be one of the easiest.

We only had 100 players for the freeroll last week, so your chances in this event have to higher than an open satellite.

The Event starts at 20:05ET, and is named as BDPO FlopTurnRiver Freeroll

꽁머니 토토 XVI Event 18 was a six-max No Limit Holdem $300 buy-in tournament with rebuys. Full Tilt Poker guaranteed a $1,000,000 prize pool and a total of 877 players registered. However, the tournament ended up $95,200 short of the $1 million guarantee. The final table and chip counts were as follows:

Seat 1 – midocean3 (25,720)

Seat 2 – FU_15 (1,351,672)

Seat 3 – dsindy (656,266)

Seat 4 – BLUFFforRENT (766,727)

Seat 5 – A_theKevlar_2 (1,433,956)

Seat 6 – wallstreetpro (368,659)

Blinds at the final table began at 6,000/12,000 giving the shortstack, midocean3, only two big blinds. It didn’t take long before the first player was knocked off the final table. FU_15 opened for 26,000 in middle position and wallstreetpro shoved all 294,000 of his chips. A classic race was to go down as FU_15’s AhQh went against wallstreetpro’s 6h6d. The 9s8h4s flush missed FU_15 and wallstreetpro had a commanding lead at this point. The 2h turn gave FU_15 a backdoor flush draw and the Jh river completed the draw to give FU_15 the hand and knock out wallstreetpro in sixth place.

An interesting hand was played to knock out the next player in fifth place. FU_15 opened the pot and BLUFFforRENT raised on the button. In the big blind, midocean3 cold four-bet shoved for 166,000 in the big blind. FU_15 five-bet to 264,000 trying to get BLUFFforRENT out of the hand and have midocean3 heads-up. Unfortunately for FU_15, BLUFFforRENT had pocket jacks and was not going anywhere. He made it 1,300,000 and FU_15 mucked his hand. BLUFFforRENT’s jacks were against midocean’s KsQh. Midocean flopped a queen but a jack on the river sent him packing in fifth place.

Play continued and A_theKevlar_2 and dsindy were both knocked out in fourth and third place, respectively. Heads-up play …
