Shit, get out of the way and try to make a few million dollars in a pot you aren't even in!<BR/><BR/>Harrington's "endgame" volume covers this kind of thing in excellent detail. Of course, his whole outlook is, "what style of play maximizes your EV?"<BR/><BR/>If there is a short stack and you are a mid-stack, and everyone is already in the money, he basically says you have to fold almost everything but super premium hands.Ryanhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/00129622740872167902noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7012366747492399470.post-79008822340907665582007-07-17T21:09:00.000-07:002007-07-17T21:09:00.000-07:00Dunno.

Once you are comfortable with the buy-in, I think that everyone reverts to their true game. If you normally just try to move up a rung or two on the money ladder then that's what you'd do. If you normally go for first or nothing, I think you'd play it that way. Personally for me, I'd be fine with letting people drop off below me and moving up the ladder a few hundred thou at a time.Sushi Cowboyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/00753872848839415763noreply@blogger.com
