Thanks. I decided to raise 3x the SB, basically just subtracting the missing chips from my open. I also played almost any hand from the blinds vs players who were still min-raising because I was getting 6 to 1. That dynamic led to some really interesting situations and dynamics. People were also folding down to much lower M-values before shoving because they were comparing their stacks to the SB amount rather than the BB. The incorrect structure created opportunities to exploit players, but it just annoyed me more than anything so I decided not to play any event with that issue.

What it boils down to tho is I think if you talked to anyone at the last four tables of that tourney, they would say I was a maniac.

That's a really good question. A couple weeks ago I had a deep run in the 100k and got coolered, AAvKK with 30 left to go. I went back and did a Hh review and wrote about the structure and how I could exploit it and did exploit it. I'm on the road but when I get home, I'll send you my notes

Good shit. How did you adjust to the BB being the same size as the SB? That really tilted because it has been happening in Sunday tournaments for the past couple weeks.

1/7, this thing plays like a dollar rebuy all the way until the end. Funny stuff happening....such as the big blind telling me he had QQ when I was about to raise from the SB and then showing
