| I'll preface this by saying that I am one of those small bankroll guys who generally has between $150-$300 in my account at any one time. I'm still a working schmoe. Played in a $10+$1 NLHE tournament on Friday. 203 entrants, and I end up winning the thing taking home just over $600. Feeling very huge, I immediately sit down at a $10+$1 SnG and win that sucker. OK, so now I'm feelin' it! Tonight I played a $.50-$1 blinds NL table, and doubled my $100 buy in within 45 minutes. Two things I've picked up at UPF have changed my game. Ignore any A-x unsuited below A-10 unless I'm in the blinds and can play for cheap. I've been outkicked so many times, my butt hurts. The other has been harder. Laying down Big Slick when I miss the flop, and the betting heats up before the turn. Over $1,000 in the bankroll now, and a big smile on my face. Go Bears | ||

| Go Big Blue! Couple of questions from a novice Cal alum ('98). Terms: UB = ? SnG = ? I am one of those newbies that watched the wsop on espn and got hooked (all home games so far, looking forward to a tournament, but not many around at the low dolar level). Closest thing to it is a $50 + $15 NLHE tourney at Foxwoods. Anyway, pleasant surprise to see a golden bear on the UPF. John | ||

| Congrats on a great weekend. One quick comment: Axs isn't a bad starting hand, you just have to be really carefull with it after the flop. If you don't hit it hard, fold - otherwise as you mentioned, you'll continually lose money to people with a higer kicker. Unless you flop a four-flush, two pair, trips (with the x, not the ace), or the x is the top top - you should almost always get away from the hand. It's hard to fold a pair of aces, but it's the smart play in the long run. | ||

| WTG winning the tourneys, knowing when to lay down AK is one of the most important skills you can learn. If I was the preflop aggressor, sometimes I'll still bet it, but I'm acutely aware that it's just a steal attempt and that I don't really have anything. A-high doesn't take down many pots unless you are very short-handed. | ||

| Pot Limit Omaha went crazy on UB on the weekend too. There was a .25-.50 blind game where at one point the average pot was over $100. | ||

| There must have been an influx of new players ( maybe due to the deposit promotion ? ) as i have finished 3rd, 3rd ,1st and 2 off the bubble ( ok so that one wasnt so great ! ) in my last 4 multi tables at UB. Guess where i am playing tonight ? I have now earned more form UB in the past 2 months than i have at my job ! Chasepoker | ||

| Those PLO games are insane. Gotta luv em. I saw this player called "party girl" turn a $200 buy-in into $1200 in about an hour. I should have called myself "noisegirl" because she certainly did get some weird calls. LOL I thought I was doing good turning $100 into $350 until she came along and showed me up. I bet Wren gets the same thing, people calling her when they shouldn't, or does she? | ||
