Morning games suck

[Eevee]

Yeah they do.

I agree. I only play the lower limit sngs and find that daytimes are much more tighter.
I see more often during the day times 7-8 people still in the game at $50/$100 which kind of makes it hard to steal blinds when you're having 2-3 limpers still hanging around.

My prime time seems to be after 10pm pst. Games seem much looser.

My ROI at night is a lot higher than my daytime ROI. But my daytime ROI is still high enough to justify playing.

I find it gets a lot easier to steal on the bubble during the day, though, since the players are so much tighter.

you'll become a better player for playing better players

[Voltron87]

they don't suck, you just have to use different strategies than when you play against loose/ foolish nighttime opponents.

Or go broke quicker. /images/graemlins/wink.gif

Most people do have lower ROI during the day because players are tighter, but that creates other opportunities for you as well.

Playing against stronger opponents will cause your ROI to drop, but I like playing during the day as well because it forces me to be able to play different styles. After playing during the day when someone at a night time game whines about how 'tight' the table is, I can just laugh at their delima.

Every game is an opportunity to learn and improve.

Well the morning somewhere is the night somewhere else etc ...

[stupidsucker]

I want to move to the perfect time zone, so I can wake up and play 9am-6pm with an hour luch break as if it were 2pm-11pm PST.

Hawaii is getting close, but Im sure its too expensive there.

[bennies]

On party poker it is...

(Go to an art museum and it's a different story...)

[jah0550]

canada sucks. late.

[Atropos]

Europe sucks. I'm 7 hours after Partypoker time - only the toughest games for me /images/graemlins/frown.gif

[GeorgiaPoker]

Move to Honolulu. Not too expensive. Gas is cheaper than California. Milk is way more expensive though.

Is that true? I thought Hawaii was expensive to live?

Dogsballs lives in Hawaii, we should ask him.

[GeorgiaPoker]

I was just out there on business for ten days. Nothing really seemed very expensive, (food, drinks, etc.) but I was not paying rent/mortgage out there either. That may be where it gets expensive.

I grew up in Hawaii. It is very expensive. Almost everyone leaves after high school because the jobs are all low paying since everyone on the planet wants to live there(huge competition for jobs = terrible wages) and that's combined with insanely high real estate prices because everyone wants to live there(Americans sure, but also enormous buying sprees by Japanese snatching up properties at insane prices all over the islands). And also high cost of living, because everything has to be shipped overseas and not much food and such is produced locally.

Hawaii is a great place to be a kid and a retiree, but it's pretty rough anywhere in the middle. Seems most Hawaiians wind up living in Oregon or something. They want to still be someplace very natural, clean and beautiful; quality of life counts for a lot more than pure bucks.

[Blarg]

Fruit and vegetables and meat are more expensive, and much less fresh. It's much easier to get a non-mushy, tasty peach or orange or ear of corn on the mainland. Canned goods are more expensive. Things that you use every day, not the things you would use on vacation, are more expensive -- pots and pans, pants, furniture polish, etc. ... the mundane things of living. But it's mostly produce and big appliances where you'll notice it most glaringly. Clothes too, often.

[burgi]

same here! And I'm too lazy to wake up at 8am our time to play against all the drunks living on the West Coast of the US (we are 9 hours ahead of West Coast)

[mlee]

Housing is much more expensive here. Gas is slightly higher than in California. It gets much more expensive if you don't live on the main island (Oahu). Most goods are more expensive than the mainland since almost everything has to either be flown over here or take the long, slow, boat ride over.

[Blarg]

I sure do miss Oahu's Chinatown bakeries and the fresh papaya, guavas, and mango. Papayas especially really change taste if you don't eat them within half an hour of picking them; the ones here on the mainland taste like cardboard in comparison.

[mlee]

Yes, I have a few papaya trees in my backyard. Can't eat the store bought ones anymore. Because we can ripen them on the tree they are much sweeter. The ones sold in the store usually have to be picked before they are ripe because of bugs getting to them.

[valenzuela]

or you can go to bed at 4 am and wake up at 2pm( perfect time for me)

[Blarg]

It's like that here on the mainland with corn. I always used to think that the term "sweet corn" was just plain weird. I loved corn, but didn't think of it as sweet, not until I had fresh picked corn over at my grandmother's house on the east coast. It really was sweet -- super delicious, totally unlike the corn I had growing up in Hawaii and elsewhere in the pacific. Supposedly it's like papaya in that it tastes way different a half hour after you pick it.

I gotta start growing tomatoes again or something. That's another vegetable that tastes totally different home grown from the flavorless mush you get in supermarkets.
