i will agree to disagree, at the lowest of stakes, with you guys (i am just not conviced yet based on my results over my dinky sample).
i was going to tell you guys a little "adjustment" i made that has really helped a lot initially, but feel i'd get flamed nowfor making such an erroneous statement w/o the sample to back it up.
my p/f game is likely better than i let on. i have some experience, and crushed the don's for 18 months a year or so ago. sngs are different because you cant really just put it on cruise control once you double up most times. but, the experience is kind of there in these bubbly, p/f spots....kind of.
please dont think that is arrogant. i was trying to be a little more humble because i know i am not super good at these things. but, when it comes to the 340's (and likely the 650s from what you have said), you dont really have to be "great" to have an edge.
and, i haven't been playing turbos...sorry if i mispoke. these are normal speed tourneys i am running. and, again, the sample is ubersmall right now. but, i think i can beat them over a large sample.....we'll see.
here is a HH to shred, but i thought i played it fine. (i felt the turn donk was for pot control, but i was still ahead, and i would be promptly told....at this level.....if he wasnt afraid of the K. my god it looks weak, but most of these guys wont pick up on this.)
