How often do you run into a winning player at Party short?

[lefty rosen]

Anybody that plays 1/2 short or 5/10? For me at 1/2 its almost never and from what I have observed at 5/10 it can be occasionally. The play is just awful and I wonder if I am the only one beating the idiot games at times.

I play only 1/2. I've run into a few winning players. Most of them are a little too tight as they are probably coming from .50/1 ring and not adjusting properly. I have only run into 2 or 3 people that have stats similar to mine (14% PFR, 34% Flops Seen) that I would consider very strong. In addition, I have never been at table where there are 2 or more good players excluding myself. If so, I usually leave anyway.

1/2 rarely.
5/10 I'd say there is one person I consider good between 1-3 tables.
10/20 there is almost always another solid player at the table from my experience.

My stats are very similar to yours. But i have 18 PFR. In 5/10 PP it works very good too. I think my PFR is higher because here more players fold preflop and i have opportunity to attack blind more often.

I play $1/$2 SH for a living and I almost never see a good player. There are a few, though. Wyndup is pretty decent. What is your SN at party, Lefty, if you dont mind? Mine is Zinoviev, and if you play a lot of the $1/$2 game, im sure we have played at the same tables many times.

Here are some people I consider to be winners, albeit not as strong as they could be:

PoorThing, PaatyGirl, CrankCaller, FlushNutz, Bryan1025, tarface, teddyriley, KLX9
