Poker Stars Atlantis Bahamas

Day 1B was today, I did not get to post about day 1 so I will give a brief summary.
 
Day 1A
 
The room was full with internet donks, pros, young kids etc.  Not much to say other than they are poker and internet junkies.  It is amazing how much they let this become their life.  We all love poker though but you need a healthy balance.
 
In the lobby there are about 10 guys playing 4 games each online with their laptops, the other lobby there are about 30 more ;)
 
Back to day 1A, not much, the play was pretty interesting to see from a dealers point of view.  I learned something new that may help some of us with our tournament poker play.  It is called "leverage" and "fold equity".  It means, unlike we are trained, to (when you have a big stack) to attack and seek out battles with other big stacks.  The concept is this.  Since the big stack wants to avoid another big stack that if you re-raise or put pressure on a big stack they are more likely to fold or not be contfrontational with you and give up the hand, hence, "fold equity".
 
Day 1B, not much to say, I was dealing the cash games.  Highlight is the 50/100 NLH game.  A friend was in the game I had not seen in a bit.  He apperntly knocked off a WSOP event, a Bellagio event and plaed around 90th in the Main Event.  Lucky guy.

I discovered the concept of fold equity a few months ago and have added several plays to my online MTT game that are much more aggressive than i used to be comfortable with, but have seen my results increase dramatically.  I have been able to maintain a big stack the few times i find myself with one more often than in the past.  Especially with the quick structures that small stakes online MTT feature, I think FE is one of the most important concepts to understand.  (if i'm not careful though it causes me to make some very spewy plays in cash games :)
 
Anyways, enjoy the Bahamas, I wish I could be there.
