Poker – Freerolls – Advice

September 30th, 2010 Tess No comments

For the first hour, you should play extremely tight, and by tight i mean you are so tight that you couldn’t fit a greased BB up your arse. The first hour is generally where most everyone will be going all in with any two cards(ATC). A lot of times, you will see players winning hands with this strategy, but don’t buy into it. the majority of these players will be out of the tournament by the first break. So in short, you should fold anything but a premium pair(A’s, K’s, Q’s) or AK, AQ suited. Even if that KQ suited looks just too damn pretty to let go against the idiot that went all in the last hand with 92 offsuit. If you must play a bit looser, only see cheap flops, and by cheap I mean George Jefferson cheap. Once you’ve made it to hour two, the tournament actually begins. you will start to see better play almost immediately. I generally compare the second hour of freerolls to the first hour of small buy in tournaments. you can start to loosen up a bit now, but don’t go nuts. Expand your range to AJ, A10 suited, high suited connectors(KQ, QJ in late position) and medium pocket pairs(77, 88, 99, 10, JJ) By now, players have invested enough time in the tournament to actually take it a bit more seriously. Not to mention, the better players are the ones that tend to last longer and go deeper in to large Multi Table Tournaments(MTT). By third hour, you should be close to the money. Bubble play is a completely different animal. i suggest you focus on making solid decisions on every street, learn to play your position, work on not being results oriented and getting yourself to the bubble before you work on learning how to play the bubble.As a veteran of many of the public free rolls (never won one but made a few final tables) let me repeat as others have said “they are a complete waste of time”. If I knew back then what I know now I doubt I would have played in more then 1 just for the novelty. Even when you make a final table the miniscule amount you win vs the literly 3-5hrs it took for you to get there is just not worth it. Join the forums and play the private freerolls as others have said. If always near broke like me as you improve your game try the microlimit cash games and cheap sit-n-gos. I am actually starting to be able to hang onto a bankroll now and if it continues to grow I will start to look at the cheaper satellites to start actually having a shot at some of the bigger money tournies.Playing poker is just like playing any other game – you have to consider all of the variables. Those variables should guide the way you play the game. Your game should never change too drastically, but you should be cognizant of the type of tourney you are playing in and the effects that may have on the game, such as the likelihood of less quality hands being played in a freeroll. A lot of times when I play a freeroll, I’ll have a great hand, but get blindsided by something stupid, but that’s just poker and you just gotta let it go. You have to be confident in your play and not let yourself think you played it wrong because if you got donked then it was most likely just a lucky play from the other guy and you would prob win that same hand 9 out of 10 times playing it the right way with confidence.Normally in freerolls I sit out the first few hands and let the all ins have it out. Usually until the first break I try to make it a point to only see 10% of the flops. The only time I see more than 10% of the flops is if I got a streak of decent hands and my win percentage is pretty high. Then usually with under 400 people left I start playing a higher percentage of the hands and try to position myself for whatever the cut is for the money. Once ive made it into the money I usually sit out the next 8 or9 hands. People seem to start going all in again at the start of the money and lose their patience. Ive had pretty decent luck playing this way but I do wind up on the bubble a lot and spend the last 5 minutes trying to scrape enough chips to make it in.At the beginning of freeroll tournments there are a lot of all-in players try and let this pharse pass,I suggest only play strong hands.Try and always stay above average and play tight- aggressive poker no matter what don’t let your emotions get in the way i lost alot of times because i got mad when i lost too stupid players or and these tournments are long it takes about 5 hours or so.

identify a late 90′s video game?

September 30th, 2010 Tess 4 comments

i am trying to figure out the name of a computer game, probably made in the late 90′s. I believe it was a real time strategy type of game. I think i remember being underground and you controlled fantasy creatures (maybe orcs or demons) you were fighting other creatures I believe. somehow the devil was involved in this. either you were him and you were taking over the world or you were fighting him or something like that.

I know it’s not diablo but thats the only game I can think of that has anything to do with the devil like that.

could this possibly be an early warcraft? i’ve never played any of them so I wouldn’t know.

Thanks

I am looking for a game like Age of Empires 2 or something else fun that can be played ONLINE?

September 28th, 2010 Tess 1 comment

I really enjoyed playing Age of empires 2 online before they switched it to gamespy and no one really plays it much now.
So I am looking for another real time stradegy game like that that is great on the internet with other players.
Like I won’t play the single player version of the game much since it would probably bore me, just online.

And it doesn’t neccesarily have to be a real time strategy.

So are there any great computer games that are very fun online?

Side note: I play a lot of counter strike but that has gotten kind of boring. Also I played WoW up to level 70 and didn’t feel like paying so much each month. I have guild wars and hate it.

So yeah any help with a sweet online game would be great..
