Default My 2 cents

More chance to play poker..... Less chance to have to go all-in.
Example...
13th hand of a party poker SNG
ChipCount 770(you played no hands and folded blinds)
You are dealt Ac-As
You raise to 200. (5 times the current bb)
Of course 2 callers

Flop comes Ad-9-d-2d
Checked to you.... you bet 220...
Of course 2 callers
(stupid people calling when you don't want them to on Party!)

Turn Ad-9d-2d-7d
first caller bets 250.
do you call?

I curse my luck and fold.... Can't be helped, cards were bad that hand.

Let's check and see where we are at now....
Oh crap Down to 350 in chips.

Crap.... I may get lucky and see a cheap flop or 2, but I am basically pot-committed to anything now....


The Moral of this story is.... With 1500 chips to start(down to T1050 now after this example hand), there is more of a chance to play good poker.
