Default Freerolls on Bugsy Club

I almost think you are better off just losing your blinds for the first hour and then playing... so many clowns playing such awful cards.

Anyone else have the same feeling?

I know what you are talking about. So many players on these freerolls play every hand hoping to catch something. I was on a table with a player that went all in every hand and had nothing but bluffed everyone out. When someone did call him with a good hand he would catch on the river and beat them.

I play small SnG on Bugsy, .50 or 1.00 games, and you get clowns like that playing there also.

Had a guy that went all in every hand. He knocked out half the field that way. It was ridiculous.

Hey everyone has a strategy, right....lol..j/k

Yeah I have basically made it a rule not to play the first 5 hands or so in SnG's no matter what I have. I decided on this rule after I started one tournament with AA so I decided to call the all in that one guy threw out there and then next thing I know 3/4 of the table was calling all in. Of course I lost off something stupid so now even if I have AA on the first couple hands I will usually fold it unless the table has shown me that they are actually there to play.

I don't have that kind of conviction. I have A/A, I'm playing.

I remember 2 days on a game I had AA & some clown went all in. Well I played. The flop was favorable as well so I stayed. There were a total of 4 players all in. I won. I ended up winning 1st that game & made a whopping $2.50 on that SNG. Yes, they do get crazy but just holding back & playing premium hands will lose many clowns right from the start.

I think its a very good idea to sitout and watch the action the first 15min or so.You can get a read on how the players are without them finding out how you play.If you get AA-KK Id jump in too tho.Sitting out does have quite a few advantages.This is true no matter where you play nowadays.You cant sit down without an allin the first few hands.It never fails
