I don't know if you noticed duder, but 1-tabling is pretty goddamn boring.

You're right, the original poster was making assumptions about people that multi micro limits as well, and that was also wrong.

Yeah but the guy that hits back is always the one that draws the blame first. It's okay I'll live [img]/images/graemlins/smile.gif[/img]

There was a pokertracker statistics thread a while back that was pretty instructive also. Everyone compiled their winningest player-types from large samples in PT, and it basically boiled down to $$ correlating to postflop aggression and not VP$IP. If I remember correctly, the LP-A Elephants, at 20-40%+ VP$IP, were generally among the most profitable players over a significant number of hands.

Point being, if you're playing passively, even marginally so, you're certainly leaving money on the table.

Thank you. That's exactly what I was trying to say. I have to apologise to Tom for my poor wording. But then, I am Greek.

Hi I got a question, I'm quite new at poker and in about 7000 hands in Party .5-1 I'm VP$IP is about 19.5%, I'm currently 2 tabling and I'm beginning to wonder if I should drop a few marginal hands or move them to LP or button only, it seems it's the right thing to do since I have a lot to learn. I got trouble limping in EP with KQ for example, maybe I shouldn't play it in EP at all and gain experience from it in MP and LP, the same with KJ (I just posted a hand on this), I'm thinking maybe moving KJ to LP only would help, and I could slowly work it back to MP again. Should I cut down some hands or just leave it as it is?

I never said it wasn't. but we're talking about effective playing poker here, not what is the most exciting type of poker.

Sorry off topic, but I think you should be raising KQ EP, and that KJ is fine to limp in with MP.

Resurrecting a dead thread...

Anyways, I've decided that Nate's post has turned me into a LAG.

My first 5k hands in PT - 16.5/8.5 - nice TAG right?

Last 3k (since reading the thread) - 19.7/9.8 - I am nearing LAG status

I am now taking down a lot of pots that I never would have even taken part of before. I think that, even in my poker-playing infancy, I'm making more from entering these pots than I'm losing. As I improve, my EV on these sort of hands should increase.

I think I've actually started playing poker now, as opposed to following charts and counting outs.

Hi gv. I hardly call 19.7 loose. I'm 29/9 over 17k and +2BB - Take away two abberations: one of which you witnessed Friday at the 2+2 game, and I would be 3.5BB/100. Now...I'd say I'm a little loose - but 19.7 ...I don't think so.

cya later, TomBk
