Blinds changed at Party

[SynSid]

Stacks are now deeper.

e.g. on $25 tables, blnds are 0.1/0.25

[kyro]

In other words. We have to learn how to play postflop. /images/graemlins/frown.gif

[thatpfunk]

holy [censored]. i have no idea what to think. this is insane.

[hukilai]

Yep, on $50 table blinds now are 0.25/0.5

[SynSid]

Small PPs just went up in value /images/graemlins/smile.gif

[Skjonne]

So common opinion is that deep stacks favour the g00t players.

How will this effect the fishiness of Party?

Discuss

[thatpfunk]

it will probably take some adjustment, but players with good postflop play's wr should imporve significantly.

the 6 maxes look great right now.

[Shaun]

This will lessen the action, but it will make good players more dominant. Whether this is good or not, I'm not sure yet.

[Skjonne]

I play 6max only. Can't wait to get home from job and experience to raise pre-flop, get three callers, and not be all-in on the flop /images/graemlins/smile.gif

[thatpfunk]

It is great for better players and I really doubt it will drive bad players away. They won't realize what the change does.

[kongo_totte]

Thank You, God

[sourbeaver]

Wow, this is huge, I only play Party and skins.

P.S. St-Deuce-of-the-Damned-River has just sent a wonderfully scented love letter to iGlobalMedia's Chief Executive Officer, donations to recover postage are now accepted.

I play almost exclusively the 25 tables and rely on poker for all my income at the moment. Should I seriously consider moving exclusively to the 50's immediately, or are the 25's going to remain as profitable, if not more profitable?

Cheers

[rickr]

My own opinion is there really is no differance in quality of play between the 2 levels. Bankroll should be your only consideration. This change shouldn't enter into the equation.

Later,
Rick

[sourbeaver]

You can safely assume that the games are going to be just as juicy, the fish won't mind that it's cheaper preflop, they love to flex those chips-pushing muscles after the flop.

I love the fact that suited conns and PPs are almost doubled in value now, it's going to be a pleasure to limp a couple more of those (Wow, am I actually going to be looser ??).

[lawpoker]

players are now making opening raises of 8-10xBB...at least at $25 they are...

I'm at work /images/graemlins/mad.gif Please keep us updated on the development of the games the next few hours

[lawpoker]

i can't decide if they havent' realized the blinds dropped, or they simply want to make the same rasises they were before...hmmmmmmmmmm...

[lawpoker]

at least you can view 2+2 at work. my office decided to block all poker sites....and i have to work in a couple hours...grrrrrrrrrr...

[Skjonne]

What I mean is: A fish that used to play, say NL50; where's he now? Is he thinking: "wow, I can now play my game for half the price", or is he thinking "wow, I can play a larger game for the same price". Anybody with the help of PT or the like has a idea of that?

Sorry to hear that dude. I'm curious as to when I'm getting shut out from 2+2. I mean the site got like 50 hits a day from my comp /images/graemlins/cool.gif

Is there a world after the flop?

Don't be silly /images/graemlins/laugh.gif That's the world where we lose our money /images/graemlins/crazy.gif

[vanHelsing]

I think nonody mentioned yet, that there are new levels, namely NL400, NL600 and NL1000!

Yeehawww, maybe juicy places to be in the future /images/graemlins/smile.gif

[warlockjd]

I watched one of my favorite $100 fish drop 3k on the $1000 table before I could get a seat.

I wonder how many of the fishies are going to go broke a lot sooner.

[vanHelsing]

Certainly an aspect.
On the other hand, if you look at the Limit tables, 15/30 is a fishy place since years. And you can easily spend 3K there in a short periode if you are a moron.

[lawpoker]

i thought the whole reason party didn't open up many 30/60, and nothing higher, is so that people didn't go broke so fast. if that's the case, it doesn't make sense to open up some 400-1000 NL tables. everyone wants to push it all in, and now they can go broke even faster.

[meow_meow]

Dammit, this is going to kill my earn.
I play mostly 100NL 6max - no way I can win at the same rate with the new blinds, and it seems unlikely they'll be spreading unlimited 200NL....


DAMN IT.
While writing this post, I've been playing the 600NL 6max, flopped the nut straight with AJ, got all in on the flop, and got rivered by a full house --- bye bye $953....

Yeah you can, you just need to practice.

And don't take shots at the 600 /images/graemlins/smile.gif

Thats what I was thinking, half price flops baby!

[Raiser]

This is exciting. I've been wanting to learn deeper stack play. But, I'm also a little nervous about this. My post flop play sucks /images/graemlins/smile.gif

[vanHelsing]

The good news is:
It makes more sense to learn how to play well at NL now.
Less multitabling and other distractions, more notes and much more thinking postflop.
I think, 8-tabling just died.

[Skjonne]

Played just under three hours at NL100. Up 51 Big Blinds/100

New structure me likey /images/graemlins/cool.gif

[JimmyJazz1]

I was just planning to move up to 100nl after an awesome run in 50nl (28bb/100 in 6k hands). If the plays the same at 100nl as it was in 50nl because of the blind change, I may be moving up to 200nl in no time /images/graemlins/grin.gif.

[lasseter]

In Fact this potentially leads to more fish. All those people who would never play at a .25/.50 table(the lowest Party had) because the stakes are "too big" will happily buy in for the same $25 dollars because the game is now "cheaper".

I can see the play now getting even more loose and insane. Much like the nuts play on UB at the .10/.25 tables.

I just watched someone at the 1K lose 1280 in two hands. QTo and 44.

Now -that- is a short period.

[edge]

Anyway, lala, I need to 4x my bankroll now.

I have more experience with 100 BB stacks, but right now, I'm running around with less than 10 buy-ins. Hopefully I won't bust, but I have no problem with moving down if I don't do too well at the 2/4.

[edge]

Way cool. I dropped about four buy-ins, leaving me too short to play anymore. I'm not sure if I had bad luck, or my tactics (which all revolve around beating clueless players) don't work at 2/4.
