3.5xbb standard for me late in sng

what should i be raising preflop atm?

[mcatdog]

2.5x is what most good players do, but just be careful to look at the stacks behind you and not make raises that put you in really awkward spots if someone else shoves.

BOH!!!!!!!!!!

[bigspenda73]

take notes ppl, this is how you deliver in a rail thread

[pankfish]

This is a pretty bad idea. I usually play bigger games if I'm going to run good.

[Ragnar4]

GJ drew.

This is possibly the first rail thread that has turned into a success story.

Nice work, BankItDrew!

[ATOTHEC101]

nice one drew, though that 10 q hand was brutal :/. Wonder howd you would of reacted if that occured in the sunday million or something haha.

[mrhappy333]

first in both?
I need to get me a bot.

[GatorJH]

first in both?
I need to get me a bot.

A 2nd and a win - still pretty awesome. Wish I would have seen this earlier, I def would have railed ya!!!

NJ Drew.

[BankItDrew]

Thank you everyone who watched or commented on my $1 runs. I especially enjoy the preflop raising tips I gained. I've decided to give up my bread and butter and take on MTT's full-time. I don't really understand what the variance is all about. I figure if I win once a day half as many as I did last night, that I'd be fine.

See you at the Sunday Mill !

[bjsaust]

lol.
