Message: [QUOTE="groggy44, post: 2117155, member: 98200"] I know exactly what you mean. I learned a few things playing in my first high roller event yesterday. The most important was that scared money is dead money. There's really only 2 ways to win a huge pot. A, have the best of 'the hold'em nightmare' AA vs KK or KK vs QQ and hold on for 5 cards. 2) have those suited connectors or small pair and hit the real hard. and stack that serial raiser off. The most important thing I learned is position. If you are on the button, if you are confident that you won't be 4 bet, you should always put in a 3 bet or call the 3 bet. flop comes with something nasty like 33 8. Unless someone has an over pair, they didn't hit squat and if you need to reraise them on your turn to act. Pick nice spots to do this. You can add 30% to your stack simply with position in some spots. You have to pick your spots though and use your weapon of being last to act. Frustrate those 3 people to your left. Bet and raise on the button and the cutoff. They will pay you off when you get a bigger piece than them. I had a hand last night J6 suited. on the button with a 3 bet in front of me. I knew i should have called. Flop comes out and gives me a double gutter ball. I know one guy has AA or KK and the other guy has TP/WK. They both go all in but there's no way i don't suck out, flush draw on the turn and straight on the river, I would've stacked them both and been chip leader for the tourney at that point I also had another hand, 44 in the small blind. Serial 3 bettor, i knew I should have just flatted. I would have flopped a set, and stacked him off drawing dead on the turn. So sick. The most important thing I learned last night was rule #1. Scared money is dead money. The dealer can't award you the pot if you're chips aren't in there [/QUOTE]
