Team Poker Shuffle Represents Once Again

December 20, 2009

Pokershuffle11 and myself,All-in Stefk, took part in the daily African freeroll on Full Tilt. This is a very nice tournament as you get to compete against African residents only for a prize pool of about $50. Top 18 places get paid from $2-$5.

The field is usually around 250 players, with a bunch of South Africans. We both started out nicely, staying out of the initial 15min frenzy of all-ins and then settled down with some ‘’serious” poker.

This time i was chip leader for about half the game, when i decided to p[ortect my chip stack and cruise through to the final 18. Pokershuffle11 on the other hand had a tough game, deciding to play it safe and choose her hand wisely. With about 50 players left, she was short stacked and in danger. Within 3 hands she multiplied her chip stack by 5 and cruised to 1st place and the rest is history.

We both made final table with reasonably short stacks but good enough to have a go. Pokershuffle11 placed 6 and i made it to heads-up against BIGKLAOUI. I manged to put him on tilt at a stage with 300 000 to me and 100 000 odd to him but then a shove by me with AA proved to be a wrong move. I managed to finish 2nd and bag a few dollars more.

Got something to say?





Simple starting hands for Texas Hold'em poker. The key is to commit to a pot with a healthy starting hand. It does all depend on the actions of players before you and history of players betting actions. This is a general guide to use when you are just starting out but want to be a winning player at the lower limits(5c/10c to 50c/$1). **The following guidelines are only for fixed-limit Hold'em Hands to Raise with: These hands are what you want to use to take control of the pot with of pre-flop action: AA, KK, QQ, AK, JJ, AQ, TT Hands to call with: Do not call three bets with these hands, call only one or two. AJ, KQ, QJ, JT, T9 (only if of same suit), 99, 88, 77, Ax (same suit)
