lost the will to live, game is driving me mad. Posted by HENDRIK62
I know exactly how you feel Neil............every Thursday I seem to get hammered trying to qualify for Main. So I'm giving up on that, and tbh I'm not even going to play in Bounty Hunters coz everybody seems to just be limping in with top hands. I've seen it 3 times tonight with AA, QQ and JJ.
Definite change of tactics, strategy and MIND SET required.........Hope some of you fared better :-(

I was going to post some of the beats, but decided not to, its just variance......but I am also leaking like a sieve, running great in both deepies and a £500 b/h last night, and just imploded, one too many BB put me on the tilt train and I crashed out of all 3 in a matter of about 20 mins.....played as badly as its possible to play.
Anyway going to play the Orfordable tonight, plus a bundle of DYM PLO8 (although a fairly high variance game, for some odd reason this relaxes me). See you all at the tables.

We need to combat this limping thing in BH's...
Seen it a lot, but tried it myself only to walk into the monster hand that is 104 sooted who went on the hit his flush v my AA.
There's got to be a way to find an edge in these things, so i'm going to try some slightly different lines.
I'll start with minimising my range of playable hands & getting my stack in early to see if we can provoke some action. Can't let these limpers rule lol.
Had a slow day at work, so ended up playing a bundle of cash this pm........got my mojo back ;-) see you all this evening Neil Posted by HENDRIK62
NICE ONE Neil..............
Now I know I said I was giving up on playing Bounty Hunters, but its a case of 'The Old Window Salesmen's Theory' .......you just have to keep knocking on the doors !!!!!!!!!!!
So when I was KO'd by SPIDER_PIG....... limping in and when I 3x-raised shoved All-in you thought I would have remembered yesterday and just folded......But A 9 suited looked a good hand to call. he had KK which held.........TRY AGAIN
So I did and have just qualified thru £3.60 sat for tonight's Main......GOOD LUCK to ME and EVERYONE else playing tonight........and as ALWAYS.........
WD misty GL with it, i tried to sat myself in via semi but it didn't work so it will be the deep and mega stacks, i will be in the mini and might attempt 2K (9:30) and 1K (22:40) BH as they both get lots.
Hey all here is my thoughts on how to beat bounty hunters on sky, I actually used to struggle in these for a long time on sky but in my old age Iv become a lot more nitty which seems to have had a real positive effect in these comps.
1. We don't need to play many pots at all as there is often many fish who will literally donate us chips.
2. We domt need to get tangled up in pots we domt need too, ( I used to try and win every pot) use a good noting system on who u can run over and who is an absolute station, there is tons who will station u down with a high on 3 streets so it's best to Have a little information on who we r playing against.
3. We domt have to c bet every pot when raising pre, ur just gonna get floated by fish so often it's best to give up amd wait for a better spot as ur going to be called super light.
4. If we get a stack and the blinds increase put ppl under pressure who you fear will looking to min cash before they get involved in any decent sized pots (obv huge in any form of poker)
5. If u find a nutted hand u can often get max value from weak holdings so get some money in!
6. Run as good as bracewell! If we all ran like him we would be millionaires!
here are todays gee gees alex my boy in the st leger 350 Donny each way and taws in the last at chester my local track the trainers sent this fron devon big chance lump on to win gl all and well done jj wiiiiiiiiiiiiii
Nice cash JJ in the Deepy....WELL DONE. it seems like there hasnt been much success for TPTers this week, and I certainly havent contributed a penny either. I did seriously think of taking the cash in the satellite I won entry into last night's Main B/H in, as there was 2 spots and it was £29.50, and my record in B/H's of late is terrible.....but I ditched the 9 2off, I was holding, going on the theory that I need the practice, and its not worth entering if you dont want the seat. .........I lasted my usual half hour !!!!!! and went out to HAYSIE, my Old Boss at Seasons Holidays. I only had 3 hands in that time...... QQ which I 3x raised and everyone folded.........KK which I min raised UTG (trying the Limpers tactics) and everyone folded. and AK against HAYSIE, where I was getting short stacked (900chips out of 2000 starting stack) and prob should have shoved from the start, but was trying to play the hand (and win more chips) not to go out of tourney.....i didnt hit on flop or turn, and HAYSIE was betting aggro as he does, and put me All-in, so I folded. I didnt do much better in the Mini either, and wish I'd entered the Mega-Stack instead.
Anyway todays another day...........and there's some good Horse Racing at Donny and over in Ireland where AUSTRALIA will win but is way too short to back.
At Doncaster I like ESTIDHKAAR (2.05pm) 11/10fav
choice of 2............OUT DO (2.40pm) 11/1 each way
or YORK GLORY (2.40pm) 22/1 each way
ES QUE LOVE (3.15pm) 7/1 each way
WINDSHEAR (3.50pm) 7/1 each way
GOOD LUCK to everyone jousting at the tables tonight (incl. ME !!!) and as always.....
.....MAY the CASH be with you ALL
EDIT: Thanks so much for your thoughts and HELP with the BOUNTY HUNTER strategy TREV, JONNY, LARSON and K8LOU. It is great to be able to ask more experienced (and regular winning) players for help, and a better way to play these tourneys. Hope I will get back to cashing soon too

Good luck everyone
Prob just fold K8 there mate, can't see the villain folding there hardly ever.
With limpers (in bh)
Play big hands really strong. AA KK QQ (AK) If there is 2 limpers, raise massive. Like 8-10x. (Less with AK)
Pairs 88 and below. If there is 2 limpers, just limp in, looking to hit a set, if you miss just fold.
We are getting paid a massive amount of the time when we hit a set.
Generally play pretty tight, just wait for the right spot, they usually come along.
