I noticed Sprayed is crushing the 180 mans'

Wtf mate.

What's the secret.

No secret. You just have to be patient and don't force anything. In this tourney you can wait all day for the right hand to come along. As long as you have 10K-15K going into the money you will be fine. I went to the FT with roughly 11K and first hand after break was AK. I pushed and bb called with JJ and I hit an A. It doesn't always work that way but you have to gambool. What I try to do is get my chips in with the best hand, I gambool when I have to, and I sit around patiently when I don't.

I also played the 35K guarantee R&A on Stars at the same time and almost made it. I finished 44th. I only had 5K after first break due to some bad beats, but that's a rebuy for ya. I just stayed patient and didn't force anything and when the blinds went up my big hands got paid off.

I guess if there was a secret the big thing that has helped me is paying attention to my stack size in relation to the blinds. I'm not a player that will splash around, I will make plays, but I don't like to make them with air. Monitoring my chip stack tells me when to get active and when to just sit back and relax.

Thx for the props K2.

Agreed ^^ Amazing book.

Another book that is similar to HOH is Kill Phil. But it will provide a better idea of what hands to be playing when you have an M of whatever. Not that I follow it strictly because it is mainly an AI system (great for end game though), but I use it and HOH I & II plus I throw in some SS as well. I have found that these are the best for modern day poker. The other 2+2 books are useful but they are more about limit and the basics. You really have to gambool to win big tourneys. Therefore, the books that I mentioned earlier are the best to have, IMO, in your library.
