    I normally play ring games but after all the chat on here tried one of these last night. I got knocked out in 70 somethingth by the chip leader who was honestly one of the worst players I have ever seen. He wasnt playing bad cards smartly, he was knocking out about 3-4 KK and AA's going all in pre flop with NOTHING. I like to think he didnt win but if he did win 1K there is no justice.

    But yea with a hot run of cards you could destroy these.

    That happened to me last night. I made about 4 complete steals late and managed to flop 2-pair or better on 3 of them when I got called. The key late in these is aggression liek always, and usually its easier after some donk doubles you up early.

    If your BR can handle the $22, it's worth it. For people with smaller BR, it would be nice if they had 180 man $5.50 and $11.

    The last thing you want is 3 180 man sngs waiting to fill up. Make all the fish play the 22s.

    Uthhh-ohhh

    "Do a 180 all day long

    Boy, you folks really like those 180s. A trial run of 180-player Sit & Go Tournaments on PokerStars proved that they were the kind of thing the players like. I just heard today, the 180s have hit the schedule fulltime. You'll find them 24-hours a day on the Tourney/All or Sit & Go/Mutli-Table tabs.

    Also, word on the street is these tournaments have been so popular, we'll likely start seeing more of these kinds of tournaments with different buy-ins and player limits in the future."

    yeah, i'm enjoying these things too. I've set aside $440 to play 20 of these and see how I do. just got done making my first FT, got a 5th place. 14 more to go..

    i've played 20-30 of these things and have a couple of wins. Tons of dead money in them, easily the worst players around. I would suggest stealing less frequently and playing a little bit more patiently until u get to 20-30 players. I actually never s teal until that point because u just see such horrible calls.

    hand that i just busted out of one.

    utg minraises to 300
    utg + 1 goes all in for 700 with 910s
    utg + 2 me go all in with AKo for 1200
    middle pos goes all in for 3600 with AQo

    910s made a flush lol... Definitely play patient
    and also never try to resteal on an aggressive player unless u think u have the best hand because they will call with whatever they raised with be it 98o or Q10s.

    Aggression near the bubble and more importantly here the FT bubble is key. Its very easy to find the people who you dont want to try to steal from, and then pick on all the others.
