I really need to focus on playing lots of 45s. They suit my style of play well.

A 1st, a 2nd, and 10 misses so far, for something like a 115% roi.

Might only play WifSoP tonight, focusing efforts on 1kpd.

Hows it going guys, long time no play? We get over 3 tables yet?

Ill be back after the holidays. Been slacking recently as simply busy with other things. Girl I'm dating wanted to go out tonight and WISOP didnt sound like a good excuse verbally as it did internally!! Happy New Year and see you guys next week.

Heres a scenario loosely based on my exit last night.

7 handed at the end of a $3 90 man ko. Everyone is sitting on 15-25bb no big stack no little stack. Blinds 1000-2000 with ante. No real read of anyone playing aggressive so play is pretty solid (unusual from the beginning for one of these).

Folds to the button who makes it 5500 (about 1/6 of his stack) the small blind pretty quickly pushes all in for 45000 and has you covered by less then 1k. You look down at your cards....whats your calling range? 10's?

Im not calling with AQ and probably folding AK mainly because I have most of the feild colvered and can find better spots then a race. 10s is probably a fold but at the time that looks like a huge hand considering the position the players raised from. Normally Id put the button on any two and the SB on a pretty wide range but with all the stacks evenish and no crazy action up to this point for a read?

(I had KK and went broke to AA but thats the right play. Wondering at what point calling is wrong.)

AK probably has to be a call right? I mean the range the SB can push with AK has to be a favorite against.

I was invited to play poker yesterday but I didn't

We stayed in because of the cold weather! (Gotta love Miami)...whats the password?

That didnt last long...lol

If you were at 1000/2000 blinds you are pretty deep into a SnG, so I wouldnt call with anything lower than Q's. You will have better opportunities to double up. By the way, that is the worst feeling in the world when you push with K's to see A's turned over.

yeah, I ended up down for the evening as well. My 3rd in WiSop is the only thing that kept it from a complete waste of an evening.
