Won 4 in a row on the MAUI 15K jack pot...

**KINGJACK** · 07-11-2005

CD poker offer a Sit and Go called MAUI JACKPOT...
You win 5 in a row, you win 15k!!!!

Won one yesterday...
And won 3 in a row this afternoon and tonight...
Makes 4!!!

OK OK OK... shut up I know, I should have post this before and ask for advices!!! But I did'nt!!!

I went out 4th... I was 3rd in chips at that time. But we were all pretty close considering the size of the blinds.

BB with 7-8 suit... SB min raise. He was very tight not really agressive. Knew he had an A. Or a small pair. I call.

Perfect flop A 7 8... I check he raise all in... I know he would have slow play a set I call!!!

He shows A 10... turn 6 river 6!!!

Not mad at him he made an OK play, not mad at me I played this SNG almost perfectly... I think... Thats a big ''Think''!!!!

Should I have use a different strategy sonsidering sinnishing 2nd or 10th is the same for me here. I WHANT THE 1st PLACE NOTHING ELSE!!!

Should I have use the ultra tight ultra agressive Steve'O strategy?
Should I have been a little less agressive pre flop? (I say anything here)
Should I have try to rack up chips early and sit? (this one is really stupid)
Wait until 3 AM to play the next one?

I just dont know!!!!

I know I will face this sitiation again cause I decided to give the MAUI a serious try!!! I made the $$$ in 7 of the last 9 winning 5 times.
Did'nt payed much attention before this, but I know I own this table and I start to have pretty good notes on a lot of players who play this SnG on a regular basis.

I have a lot of respect for a lot a posters here and some of you really helped me to improuve some aspects of my games trough your posts.
I'm sure there is something different I can do after the 1st 3 wins to maximize the potential of finishing 1st VS making the money...

Your advices helped me to save a few bets here and there and win a few more pot here and there... BUT NOW IT'S 15K!!! SO STOP KIDDING AND POST!!! NEED YOUR HELP!!!!

What kind of strategy were you employing in these sit and go's?

**Kliph** · 07-11-2005

You still won bonus money for winning 4 in a row right? I think that the offer Noble is running and it sounds very similar to this...it's even called the Maui table.

I always play about the same until the blids are 50-100 where I start to steal lot on position and good reads in order to build for the final 3 and knowing players start to think 3-4 BB is a huge chunk in there stack. Of course, wen I have the stack to do soo. If not I tighten up and raise only all in and only with position. In this situation, Ax could be a pretty good hand.

Before that I'm pretty semi loose passive. I try to see cheap flops with a lot of limpers with suited connects, 2 broadways, small and med PP, Axs, knowing it can be very lucrative if I hit big.

With AA KK, I will reraise.

QQ I will raise a field of limpers or reraise a small raiser or loose agressive player, and probably check fold to an A or K on the flop.

TT-JJ-AK depend alot of positions and type of oponents I'm facing. I I know some player raise pretty big with any PP or A10 or better, I may reraise or just call depending of my read. I definately fold them to a solid player reraise or big raise.

I buy lots of turn also on good reads and scary boards.

Pretty much my strategy i guess...

No bonus for 4!!!

Of course you have the regular gain!?! Not what you mean?

Or maybe its pretty small and did'nt notice, but if it was 1K, I would have known... trust me!!!

Hi kingjack,oh man so close to the glory.If this makes you feel any better i know a guy i play with at noble who won four in a row like you and on the 5th with two players left he flopped trips with the other guy all in and the guy catches runner runner for a flush and ends up winning.He did get a good bonus though for finishing 1st or 2nd in 5 straight.I think why you got no bonus is because you went out 4th in the 5th one.Well at least you got some cash for your 4 wins although i am sure not what you were hoping for.Well great play anyway to win 4 straight of those.

And by the way at noble they have a new one besides the $18500 MAUI.Listen to this one lol.If you can win 7 straight $10 buy in tourneys you win a cool $1 million.6 straight gets you $75000 and 5 straight gets you $25000.lol Hey what the hell you never know right.You won four in a row i am sure somebody will do it.Somebody got the $18500 there for 5 in a row last week.

Anyways great play and congrats on your wins.GL AT THE TABLES

hmmm $18.5K on the line for Noble, and a guy catches runners for a flush to save them the money...coincidence? i think not!

**ACEDUECE** · 07-11-2005

Hey nu2,yea you really have to wonder.lol Things that make you go hmmmmmmmm.lol Very stange indeed.

I owuld not be surprised to find that the deals get rigged near the end of those events, in this case I mean. It wouldnt be hard to write a little app to alter the turn and river or whatever so the guy on the streak loses... In fact I would be VERY suprised if the sites offering this deal hadn't thought/discussed it.

Not that I'm saying its rigged (oh what am I starting???) but I wouldnt be surprised if there was a little deck bias in these scenarios.....

THIS MAKES NO SENSE AT ALL...NOT EXACTLY SURE WHAT BUY IN IS($10?)

yOU COULD HAVE 9 OTHER FRIENDS SIT AT TABLES AND LET YOU WIN EVERYONE... SPENDING $500 AND WINNING $15,000 W000T W0000T

I think im going to have to try it.
