Deep Stack is basically a tournament where your starting chip size is larger than normal relative the stakes you're playing for. Turbo just means the blinds go up faster so the tourney doesn't tend to last as long.


As an aside...I sat at another 90 player SnG on Full Tilt last night...made the final table and finished 6th

Interesting combo, I'd assume being aggressive early could be to your advantage in that format.

Perfect example is the WSOP Main Event, you buy in for 10k, but you start with 20k in chips.

It is amazing to me how someone gets knocked out on opening day given that blinds don't even reach 500/1000 by the end of day 1,

Blinds are 2 hours long, and they start at 25/50 I think, and you have 20k in chips, it is wild.....I wouldn't be seeing a pot unless I had 10's or better, late position, or big blind no raise the first day. Yet I have heard that at least 10 people get knocked out within the first 10 minutes of play at the main event....

probably got beat with pocket A's or K's. If the blinds aren't up that high, you're right.... either horrid luck or bad playing gets you ko'd the first day.
In other words.... learn how to fold.

I'm hoping I can see some cards, as I'm considering playing in the single day WSOP circuit event in Hammond the 24th.

Two years ago I was on in Vegas and got into a WSOP Bracelet event, $1500 buy in. I was crazy excited about it, but cost my focus because I was in the Rio sportsbook playing Belmont and Arlington, had P3's going while the first hands were being dealt.

I was at a table with Yung Phan and another pro, who I ended up knocking out, and I ended up lasting 6.5 hours. I caught some major hands but I ended up losing complete patience, mostly due to playing blackjack all night and not getting any sleep the night before. It was a good experience though, looking forward to doing it again.

Its not that easy man, do you not think the ppl putting up the 10k say that same thing before ? There are so many super aggresive players out there, including myself, that even if you only play your 10's or better, no one will respect your raise when you come into pots.... in my little 95 buy in friday night, i gained most of my chips with q 4 diamonds.... flopped a flush, guy with aces moves all in, says to me " i know you have a diamond " i say sorry i have 2.....
you have to play hands to win.

Turns a blank, and the river is a brick, and he takes the hand down. He then proceeds to take the whole thing down, mowing over multiple opponents by merely looking at them and extracting important information through table talk..

the tourny friday was not bad, it got 115 ppl, 10k in chips to start, for the stone that is deep stack, normal tournys start with 4k... i played very well early, got down to 3 tables with 94k in chips and just could not change gears, i stayed in aggrasive/gamble mode and blew it all, finished 18th out of 115, no cash for that.
