Hello,
I’ve arranged a NL tournament several weeks ago. It was a single table tournament with 10 players. I’m happy with the result of the event as it went pretty well and almost all of the players who joined want another one. But I’m not sure of having a tournament again ... Click to read more

Hello,
Assume that you are in a no limit tourney or a sit and go with 800 chips and with blinds 15/30. Then at some point, perhaps in the third hand, you see AQs and so you raise it up to 60. You then have several callers however they’re not the ... Click to read more

Hi,
I’m wondering if you know what percentage of tournaments play with an ante. Do you have any idea on this? Well, I basically know that WPT uses antes, does this mean WSOP also uses such?
By the way, I don’t mean here the big/small blinds as antes. I’m pertaining to ... Click to read more

Hello,
I was in an online $50 no-limit tourney the other week. At some point, I was dealt Kd Qd while the blinds were 100/200. I remember I had 1800 chips while the BB had 8000, he was the table leader by the way. One caller appeared and so I ... Click to read more

Hello,
Most of the time, I play with 8-10 players. Most of the players I play with are my close friends, so we don’t mind if we stay up the whole evening till morning. Typically, we start with 600-700 chips and blind 5-10 until 4 or 5 players were left.
I’m curious ... Click to read more
