I was playing a deepstack tourney just now, and an SnG to relieve the boredom. I usually do that, I mean 2 tables.
This is what I got on my screen a few minutes ago:
*Can you believe I got kicked by the other guy holding trip 3's on the Deepstack!?!? I was just getting closer to the bubble and hoping to double-up... ...Damn...

I won the SnG, but that was only $9. The deepstack already had a payout of $15.000+ with so many players ! First was something like $5.000... The SnG was just time-filler.
I never seem to hit the end of the big tourneys...

Posted by wasiebassie?: AA = 22 on pokerstars
lucky he is playing FTP no PS. Still though, at least you got to say your retarded line aye. Good one. Now go back to playing with your pet rock or licking your cat or whatever you do.
That's pretty unlucky Jack.. I've had AA on a couple tables at once before, I once busted from 4 tables in a period of around 2 minutes with KK on each. I took a break after that lol.

Yeah, that is a scary sight. Just as ILI_002 writes, you already know that you will get busted at at least one of the tables. On the other everybody will fold and you will win the minimum.
Once on FTP I got KK three hands on the trot. Won every single time even beating AA when I rivered a straight on him.
But my best ever was 4 Full houses on the trot in the Daily Dollar.
If however you want to see the most amazing thing ever, I was in a freeroll on NUTS POKER and a bloke shoved all in with a board of K 7 7. Two callers. He turns over pocket 7s.
The very next hand the board shows K 7 7 again. The bloke types in his chat box "why couldnt I have pocket 7s again ".
One player raises. He types in the chat box "guess what..." and with that he shoves all in. THe other bloke calls. He only flips over pocket 7s again.

Hello? Been at the booze?
2 A of hearts on 2 different tables. One table is hearts/diamonds.
I don't DO hacker jobs...at least not in Poker. Look again.No worries....

Set mining is gold in deep stack tourns....get AA go for a big raise...no 3-4bb normall raise GO BIG.
Yep. Funny thing is I do the same thing.
It was a real slow blind tourney, 15 min. So "stealing" the blinds in the hope that someone would call a big raise wasn't worth it. I wanted to trap someone hitting their top card, and 20% of the time you're going to get busted by trips, straights, or flushes. This was just the WRONG TIME to fall in the 20% range.
Maybe I'm wrong? I just don't see AA that often, and I've doubled up quite a lot with those in the past. The board often looks safe with trips.
I don't know. Maybe playing AA the way I do is just too risky? Any more advice considering the low blinds situation?
(I think maybe I need HEM to analyse some of these hands?)

All I could say IslandJack is that unless you had a guy at the table consistantly re-raising then the min bet is a bad bet. It lets LP get in a hand with marginal hands and outher PPs etc. Just bet bigger min 3bb (Iv just started raising bigger in EP with bigger hands) my normall bet is 3bb any position now I go 4-5bb EP depending on the table. Eairly stages of a deepstack you can go even bigger as people can get more involved with standard bets. If you have been raised or re-raised just push all in.
...Damn...
this can't be...
