How to play double up sngs

September 29th, 2009 by carlchr

Double up sngs are nice for building stacks or just making a few bucks from.

Start off easy, and try avoid going all in even with high pairs as this is the phase off the game where you can get called with anything. I doesnt know how many times ive lost with a high pair in the first few hands, against a donk calling with absolute trash.

Let a few players get knocked out, while trying to avoid to big losses to your stack.

Dont play to many drawing hands, and if you do you should try avoid going all in unless nuts, or having a damn lot of outs.

dont pick fights with bigstacks,unless absolutely necessary and if you do expect to be pushed around.

When you are i position (sb or button) you can try to do some steals from the smallstacks.

Finally some good tourney results!

September 13th, 2009 by carlchr

Ok, at least i had the patience to play a tourney properly without tilting halfway trough.

It even paid off too some degree, winning $100 for a 3 rd place might not be so much, its just nice to know that one can make it into the top.

Even made it to 24 place in another tourney day after where top 40 got paid, not high prizes but i was smallstacked almost through the whole tourney, and wasnt even getting any good cards.

But of course tournaments are a total different game from limit cash games, and even double up sngs.

Downswings :(

September 8th, 2009 by carlchr

Yeah i know it has been a long time since ive written anything, ok so im a lazy bastard…

Ofcourse there has been holidays and such, but ive anyway been playing poker.

So that means i probably should kept up to date with writing here.

Actually my results for one of the sites i play at has been horrible for the last week or so…

I really have no idea of how i managed to play myself from a bankroll of 90€ or so down to 1€, ive mostly been playing 0,05€/0,10€ limit holdem, and then som occasional 2,5€ double ups… Even with some bad downswings my play must have been horrible.
