lol, I love it when they do that

[Guido]

Me too, especially when it's your first hand you ever played at this level.

It's also kinda nice to know that you can still outplay em [img]/images/graemlins/grin.gif[/img] congrats

[Guido]

Yes, I've played for one hour now and I'm up 6$ so I make 1BB/hour at these tables [img]/images/graemlins/grin.gif[/img]

Hey Guido,

You missed a value bet on the end.

PS. Congrats on your move up to 3/6!

Arg, didn't notice [img]/images/graemlins/grin.gif[/img].

Thanks, I won't be playing there all the time but I saw a juicy one and thought I would give it a try. One guy called everything and I even saw him raise with Q2o [img]/images/graemlins/grin.gif[/img]. An other was calling station so it was just perfect for me. About 10BB per hand on average and that's a lot at Paradise.
Yesterday I wanted to start all over again at Party and deposited 100$ but lost about 40$ in 2.5 hours by playing 3 0.5/1 tables. I wanted to double that and everytime I would do that I would move up but now I'm not so sure if I can do that. At Paradise not 6 or 7 players see the flop and AA and KK win more often. Perhaps I don't win as much as at Party when I win but I certainly win more hands. How does the rest feel about this?

If Im understanding correctly, you want to move up a limit every time you double up? I think thats a recipe for disaster, you will end up at 3/6 with only $800, which isnt enough if your going to be playing 3 tables at once.

Rake wise its to your advantage to win fewer pots but have them be very large, than to win lots of pots that are small.

If I only start with a 100$ I can only lose that but I will probably stick longer at each limit. I'm not going to play at 3 tables at once at Party. I intended to play at two or three tables at Paradise and 1 at Party. I can always go down...

I don't win lots of pots which are small. I just win more pots which are not huge, just big. At Paradise I make between 1.4 and 1.7BB/Hr/table at 2/4. Playing 3 tables at the same time. I think this can go up because at 0.5/1 I made about 5BB/Hr/table and at 1/2 about 2BB/Hr/table.

I wanted to play at Party because of the rake rebates but I heard about this too late. When somebody offered me to play at Empire with him as my affiliate something went wrong and I wasn't assigned to him. I haven't played there since and went to Paradise which has been the best site for me until now.
