Playing the Rush
Posted by Bill @ 1:34 amIf you're new here, you may want to subscribe to my RSS feed. Thanks for visiting!
I was bored and noticed I had a few dollars in my PokerStars account so I decided to doink them off in some SnG’s. Intead of doinking, I went on a rush. Ok, I lost the first $5 SnG when I got my money in as a huge favorite (QQ vs. 66) and got sucked out on but after that I could do no wrong. If I raised pre-flop and missed the flop, my continuation bet folded my opponents. When I got big hands, they got paid off. Bluffs worked! Here are the results:
$5 + .50 8th place (this was that first losing one)

StB added these pithy words on Oct 28 05 at 10:26 amI am curious to know what the “few dollars” in your account was when you started. Nice run.

It was around $100. Probably left over from some previous blogger tournament tournament.

Kendall added these pithy words on Oct 29 05 at 12:35 pmCongrats on the SnG Streak, I do think it’s Funny to think that $100, is change to you in poker. And if I have a $100 in my account I am playing great and have doubled up…

First, it was money I wasn’t even aware I had so in a sense it was like reaching into your pocket and finding a $20.
Second, $100 isn’t even a buy-in at the limits I normally play. In other words, it’s not enough money to even sit down at a table with.
So, with those two factors combined, $100 is a small amount of money in relation to the stakes I play at. Though I said I was going to doink the money away, obviously I wasn’t giving my cash to anyone out of charity. I just didn’t have any expectation for it as anything more than a time killer.
