I play mostly Guaranteed tourneys on
Bodog.
Just as a side note.
Bodog has equivalent guarantees to
Full tilt, but they have lower buy-in amount (for the same guarantee prize pool) and it always underfills... so more money in pot than there should be.
justkeep that in mind....
anyways, the games i play are 10~20 dollar buy ins with about 5k ~7k guaranteed.
from what i see, the play is quite terrible. i can't say i'm any better seeing as i only placed a fwe times. but sometimes i just wonder what the hell they are doing.
Harrington on Hold'em definitely improved alooot of people's game.
but considering that the Poker population is so huge, i doubt even 10% read his book. so in the end there is still a large significant amount of players who are going to suck.
(and in someways, even if you've read the book and improved, u won't do so well becaues you'll be fished out!)
on the other hand, i've seen lots of people in my poker socity in uni who's read the book.
clearly if you go to a place with some more serious players, they would have read it (unless the yare too good for it already!)
