My Stud/8 ring results, on the other hand, aren't so good. And I know it's because I play a bit looser than I do in MTTs because ... well, I don't know why. But I can't help myself sometimes. I don't play high straights or flushes, but sometimes I have a hard time throwing away high pairs or mucking fourth when I brick. And once I take those hands into fifth street, it's damn near impossible for me to throw them away even if I suspect I'm behind.
That's one reason why I don't like Pete's strategy on the high draws. It's too easy to get committed to them and fall into the trap of throwing away good money on a bad chase.
I would love to be able to sit down at a Stud/8 table and force myself to only play low hands, like I do in tourneys. Thanks for bringing that up, DF, because it just helped me realize a big leak in my ring game.Statistics: Posted by flafishy — Mon Sep 11, 2006 6:51 pm
