I see playing good poker means having
30% patience
20% skill
50% luck (cards)
Top two you control and must maximize.

I just put on a 2000 chip, 3 min blind sudden death tournament at 2 pm if no one is interested I will just cancel. I was curious to see how long this structure would take to play.

Five and you came in second.
Only took 17 minutes. Very fast.

Good game tonight to all. Enjoyed that format better. PIKERGOLF, tough egg to crack once you've got some money! Curious of your poker background, if you want to pm me, or willing to post it. Something about your style makes me think you may have played a few hands. As have I.... some legit questions for you, and anyone else who has taken it further than play money or cheap cash games.

Like I said I play a couple of 3.50 six player sit and goes almost everyday. Don't make money at it, but I can play around a year on a hundred bucks. And I'm not usually that aggressive, but for a bluffer you have to play like that or they will bleed you dry.

You may have gotten lucky ...... river phish for the save I think on two of the three come back hands ..... like lottery lucky. I get you had no choice with the stack he had compared to yours at that time, and it happens. I agree you had to push the chips in when you did but Piker got turned and rivered a couple bricks from the dealer.
I'm not depleting your play, you are obviously a reasonably solid player but tonights comeback was heavily weighted on luck and less on skill set IMO.
And .... trust me .........No big deal, I got river phished literally 3 hands in a row yesterday - in every case I had the much better hand ..... it happens .... luck is a part of the game too.
I can say, however, the quality of players here is far better than I expected.
I find Piker to be far more variable compared to the average joe (tight and measured one minute, and aggressive and loose) which, to me, makes him dangerous. I also noticed the speed of calls to be something he purposely deviates. Tricky McTrickster.
I'm watchin' him !!!!!!! Once again, was pretty fun.
There could have been a second game tonight, or a sit n go table, went too quick for me. I liked the 2 hour thing.

In a game like today's, and particularly against a shover, either you get cards or BS him right back. I served back some pretty big raises with nothing or marginal hands - otherwise he rag dolls you.
I just got the better cards at the end. All luck today. It was my turn I guess.

So in other words it was just like I was logged on and playing.
Yup
I need my luck. I’m not very good otherwise.

Can I make a suggestion for format? 2000 to 2500 buy in, no re-buy. Blinds go up every 10 min, start at 20. 6 max per table. 9 or 10 players should be done in 75 to 90 min.
