Your Questions About Sit-n-go Poker
Sharon asks…
Anybody heard of a site called Love That Poker!?
Apparently ALL of the games are free. The ring/cash games and sit-n-go’s are the equivalent of play money tables, but you can use the points to enter daily $50 freerolls, qualify for weekly $500 freerolls or monthly $5000 freerolls. They don’t ask for a credit card, registration is simply giving a sign-in name and a password, and there’s no download. Only drawbacks I see so far is I don’t know exactly how the payout system works, as I’ve only been on there a day and haven’t made any money yet, and the traffic is very low so the game selection is limited (there are usually only 2 7 card stud tables and 2 Omaha tables going, maybe 5-10 Texas Hold Em tables, only half of which are no limit, and sit-n-go’s take about 15 minutes to round up 6 players). Other than that, there’s no catch that I’m aware of. If you’ve heard anything about this site, let me know.
Also, if the site sounds interesting to you, I’d appreciate it if you could access it through this link (It’s a referral program):
http://www.lovethatpoker.com/?publs=35999
Like I said, I’ve played on there, and it costs absolutely zero, and they haven’t asked me for any credit card or bank info. If nothing else, it’s good practice (although most people on there are donks). Thanks a bunch.
I neglected to mention, if you use the link, they say they will deposit $10 (real money) into your account. Don’t know if that’s true or not, but if you do use the link, let me know if they are true to their claim.
I don’t know how to cash out your winnings, like I said, i’ve only been there a day so far (but I almost won some money), so I haven’t cashed out yet.
If you check „My Referrals“ it tells you how to refer friends. Thanks for clicking the link!

poker and again poker?
You’re in a 10 man sit-n-go with 7 players left and the blinds are 200-400. You have 1600 chips. Everyone at the table has about 3500 chips. You’re in middle position and it is folded to you.
You hold: Qh Th
What should you do?
a)Fold
b)Raise
c)All-in
d)Call
admin answers:
Obvious push. You actually should be pushing well before you get down to 4x the BB. If you steal the blinds here you’ll increase your stack by 40%, and you’ll have a good chance to suck out against the hands that will call you.
You can’t afford to wait any longer and be blinded off, your behind and need some luck to get back in it. Thats what it comes down to.
Lisa asks…
Please answer online poker players…?
i can’t see the Freeroll sit n go listings on full tilt and my friend can. the ones with like 180 people, it never pops up on my screen. they say like .COM or something on the tourney title
admin answers:
OK . Go to the Sit and Go tab (real or play money doesn’t matter) . Then wait for the games you are looking for to come up near the top of the table . You have to be very fast , because they literally fill up in a few seconds . If you dont register in time ( which you wont often), wait EXACTLY 10 minutes and the same game will pop up again . Once again , you must be lightning quick with the mouse ( unless you play @ 4am). Good luck , as the tourney is all or nothing and takes a while . Play tight and people will eventually give their chips away .
BTW- You may not see them , because they aren’t running right now.

POKER – Multi-table Tournaments advice?
Ive been playin for about 5 years and have studied theory like a degree and seen alot of hands. I grind out a good profit on sit n go’s and cash game but every tournament (9 seater) seems like im playing holdem in an omaha game. eg. I just played one played about 20 flops without hitting (at all) Got JJ, riase before me, i call , one other caller, flop 249. Caller go’s all in, Pre-raiser moves all in, i fold, raisers kings win. Then i raise AJ on button, 2 callers, raggy flop i bet half pot to be met by raise, i fold, pair wins. I then try stealing with position and they hit and let me know about it every time, My stacks now down 2/3 blinds get big and get QQ, all folds to my small blind, i call $100, big blind calls, flop 269, he raises 300, i go all in, he shows 96. Im giving examples because this happens every time with the same hopelesness, so it cant be bad luck, what am i doing wrong? Ive read all the top books including harrington 1,2,and 3 and still i feel im doing something wrong. Any advice or great books you can recommend for tournys will be much appreciated.
admin answers:
Well let’s look at these examples. The first thing you need to keep in mind is that two pair is the average winning hand in holdem. In the first hand you have JJ and there’s too much action for you to stick around and this was a good fold. In the second hand I seriously question this bet. I don’t like c-bets generally although I will use them here and there but too many players blindly throw chips out and in most cases it isn’t justified. You’ve got to compare betting with checking here and checking is often the better option. This is really a stone cold bluff here and you’ve got to treat it like this. With the QQ you’ve got to ask yourself whether this player would go this big with less than what you have and the answer is probably not. So another case of your getting money in the pot when you’re behind.
All 3 of these hands should have been folded and you’ll do a lot better by settling down and thinking these things through. You’ve got carelessitis here which leads to bleeding money 🙂
