Meeting of the minds....

Maybe we could make an agreement. Something like, "if you play at the 2+2 table, we reserve the right to post your hand and all comments that took place therein."

Then nobody is safe!

I think thats a great idea. I would love to sit at a table with other people who are serious about trying to improve thier game. And how else are you going to improve your game if you dont learn from your mistakes. Or the mistakes of other like minded individuals. I think you should check your ego at the door if you wanna sit down.

Even I agree that those posts would be better in the SS. It's kind of a weird case. (Note : I don't have a Party account so this doesn't affect me personally).

[Nottom]

I think that should be fine. If someone wants to post a hand that someone else made a mistake in, they don't have to use names.

Hopefully I will be making a Party deposit soon, and will be able to participate in the 2+2 game.

In theory, this is a great idea. But to be totally honest, this game is the exact antithesis of Party $0.5/1. It is tight/aggressive and usually tricky to the extreme. From what I've observed, I'd say it rivals $15/30 or even higher. For me, the only thing I really got out of it was playing heads up post flop since that's usually the case. Again, that's so different from the usual micro game that I stopped playing.

Sorry I don't have an answer on what could be done to make it more "micro-realistic". Does anyone else who has played this table feel this way?

Thats good. I can practice playing 15-30 for .50-1.00.

[Festus22]

It's good for you since you play those levels. It's not so good for those of us that don't and probably ever won't. I'm glad you found a training game that simulates the real thing for a fraction of the price.

Maybe we could also have a table for the players who only play micro limits. That may be more realistic for us.

[gonores]

It won't be realistic for you. The difference of quality of play between 2+2ers who play micro and 2+2ers who play small stakes is very small, IMO. You're still going to see a bunch of heads-up pots and aggression.

The best way to simulate a micro-limit game for micro-limit stakes is to play at a regular micro-limit table. Then post hands.

I think that would be a good idea... actually, that's a great idea...... Maybe I'll post something about that and see what kind of reaction it gets.

[Gomez22]

I think the "thing" here, Doug, is that I've played teh 2+2 table also, and it is very tricky and cut-throat.... more bluffing than usualy, IMO.... that may have changed, because I haven't been able to play it for a while, but I really think that the 2+2 table gets more into HU play post flop, and alot more trickery than we normally see at micro/small limits/stakes. I'm not say that there's anything wrong with that, but I know that alot of things we can learn at the normal 2+2 table are in no way applicable to a typical small/micro table.

Just my 2 cents......

Gomez,

What poker game does not have a "cut throat" dynamic with a lot of bluffing.

This will enable a player to snap bluffs, or to bluff optimally.

I'm not say that there's anything wrong with that, but I know that alot of things we can learn at the normal 2+2 table are in no way applicable to a typical small/micro table.

I did not start these session to beat a micro limit game. I think just playing an ABC style of poker will enable a player to beat the micro limit games.

I started the training sessions to play a higher level of poker, not to improve on micro limit play.

Gonores gave the best advice for getting better at micro limits. Play them and post hands.

Ok, see everyone tonight.
