No Limit advice, TKarrde, 21. Apr 2003 13:07
    View ( Message | Thread )       Return to Thread List
I have played on UB a few times now and have done well playing the Sit and Go No Limit tournaments (for points not $$). But the last time I played I was ahead and didn't know what to do. There were 10 players each starting with T1000. I got up to T5800 rather quickly. At the time I thought I should just hang onto that until it got down to one or two others. But that wasn't ver long lived. After it was down to about 4 players I went all-in on two pair and got beat by a set. I held on for third place but it was an ugly ending to a beautiful beginning. I just play it for fun sometimes and don't want to start studying the game. But what I want to know is what I should do once I have a large chip lead?

Thanks,

TK

UB sit-n-gos are very maniacal. When I play the 10 handed games, I am *very very very* tight at the start because you have morons pushing all in with hands like 99 or ATo or A5suited when the blinds are tiny. I play like a total rock hoping to catch a sucker when I have aces or kings. As the blinds start to move up I start to play more and there is usually one idiot left with all the money.

Now if you've got lucky and you have all the money, sit and wait. Play only the most premium of hands and fold easily. Push around the small stacks though.

UB players tend to be totally pathetic when it comes to heads up play, so if I can make the final two I almost always win the thing...as long as I'm not disgustingly far behind and the blinds aren't enormous, I'd say I win 70-80% of the time when it is heads up.

Basically, the advice I would give you for 10 handed sit-n-gos on UB is play tight and don't losen up until you have less than 20 big blinds in your stack.
