Play-chips poker strategy
On the weekends, the ultra-low-buyin real money THNL games look much like the ultra-low-buyin play chip (ULBPC) THNL games. The Pizza Hut delivery boys have cashed their paychecks and they’re looking for a good time. You, of course, want to take their chips (either real or fake).
PokerStars player Rob "rsnbrgr" Rosenberger specializes in the play chip 50,000+800 nine-player THNL sit&go events. He gives away millions each year in play chip "gifts" in memory of his late wife.

This online booklet teaches you how to conquer the ULBPC sit&go events.
You might wonder what compelled me to write this. Believe it or not, I wrote it for myself. You see, I used to habitually lose money in cheap weekend tourneys & cash games.

In 2007 I took a five-month sabattical from “regular” poker just so I could learn how a school of fish behaves. I did my research in the PokerStars ultra-low-buyin play chip events where you can always find a school of fish.
A typical example where six players go all in before the very first flop. Pocket 8s made quads with the turn and river.
