Subject: Using time clock in Stars tourneys
|
How do you folks use the time clock? I'm talking generally about the MTT
(NLHE) on Stars.
I've been playing in the 180-player $12. tourneys (sitngo).
Late in the tourney, when blinds are getting hefty and we are say a table or
2 away from being ITM, I often see low stacks delay like mad. Now, obviously
they are hoping to squeeze in as others fold. But OTOH, they are allowing
the blinds to rise a few extra times. It seems they are cutting their own
throats.
Now, if I have a hefty stack, I might delay a bit also (in addition to
pounding away) and also try and avoid being the BB when the blinds.
Anyway, please comment on the above and if possible any additional ideas
will be appreciated!

Bad players benefit (in general, though certain bad players who cannot
adjust to high blinds do not) from turning the endgame into as much of a
crapshoot as possible. Bigstacks are slightly negatively affected by
stalling, but medium and short stacks are more negatively affected
(assuming good players).
It is only the very short stacks who may stand to benefit at all,
chip-wise, because others may bust in front of them or be forced into
pot-committing situations prior to the next BB of the shortstack.
As for me? Sometimes I use the time bank to try to time blind increases.
Not often, though. I'll mainly use it nearly every hand at the end of a
super-satellite.

I've written about the clock. I also wrote about how to be on the
button close to every time the blinds get higher. I gave Raider Fan an
example of this. This alone, gives you a far bigger edge, especially
in the latter rounds when the blinds go up for large amounts.

But your table gets much fewer hands compared to the other tables,
meaning your skill advantage (if you have any) is lessened. And min-
cashing !=3D WELL into the money...

Is there an advantage doing it early? It would seem minimal.
Also, if you are low stacked early or mid tourney, isn't it against your
interest to delay like that?

It's not in your best interest to ever play like a pussy in your typical
front loaded payout MTT.
Russ may have a point when it comes to satellites, but what he's
advocating here is just flat out retarded.

Not when you are like Russ and the rest of the old guard and playing WAY
beyond your bankroll.

Did you ever think I may not have had anything those hands? I still
managed to get WELL into the money, until I decided to take a shot.
Add up all the times I miss the BB and land on the button and you'd
realize I get to play with far more chips than any one else at the
table plays with.

Serious question here Russ, based on your play with Raider in the PLO8.
What benefit does stalling every hand so the blinds increase on your
button give you when you fold every button as well?
