The avg VPIP in .25/.50 is around 50%, go up in limits and it drops quickly.

Are you bringing these games into poker tracker? Same database as normal holdem? I just signed up at UB today so I didn't have it configured to be imported in to PT. I was debating whether I even wanted to because of what it would do to individual hand statistics -- seems it would really distort some of the usual premium hands like JJ and TT. (I almost folded TT the first time I got it in a real game after I spent an hour playing this crap...)

Re: Ultimate spreading Royal Holdem, but only limit
 

this game [censored] rules.

not only is it full of fish (some of whom it takes 15-20 hands to realize "something's different"), but damn it feels good to get 5 royals in 248 hands [img]/images/graemlins/grin.gif[/img]

*Edit* Make that 6 royals in 263 hands.

Re: Ultimate spreading Royal Holdem, but only limit
 

Hell no is this touching my pt database. UB displays avg VPIP in the lobby.

I played about 300 hands and didn't get one royal [img]/images/graemlins/frown.gif[/img] What starting hands are you playing? I don't play any connectors except AK and AQ (KQ from button with 3 limpers). I don't think it's plus EV to chase a royal unless you get a free turn. No way am I chasing to the river without top two or a high set.

PT will throw an error if you try to import any Royal hands.

Don't ever play lowball, a royal is the worst possible hand =D

Re: Ultimate spreading Royal Holdem, but only limit
 

Interesting game. I'd never folded QJ on an A-K-T flop before...

It worked perfectly for me, except it treats the BB as if it were NL.

Re: Ultimate spreading Royal Holdem, but only limit
 

There were these two guys at my table who were hemmoraging chips at an ubelievable pace. When the one guy had lost his $100 buyin, an observer, apparently a friend, came to the table and explained the game to him in the chat window. I never wanted to physically pummel a person so badly in my life... well, at least in a long dang time. Unfortunately, I've never flopped so many straights in my life [img]/images/graemlins/frown.gif[/img]

FWIW, my preflop strategy is to limp with AA, KK, QQ, AK, AQ, KQ (since we're nutpeddling, I want people in to make second best hands) at a loose table or raising to steal blinds at 2+2 table and call raises with AA, KK, QQ, AK (I should probably remove QQ, its at best a marginal call here).

Interestingly, if two tight players get into a raising war, you may want to call with your rags:

equity (%) win (%) tie (%)
Hand 1: 27.8238 % 19.58% 08.25% { KK+, AKs, AKo }
Hand 2: 27.8238 % 19.58% 08.25% { KK+, AKs, AKo }
Hand 3: 44.3523 % 42.50% 01.85% { QQ }

equity (%) win (%) tie (%)
Hand 1: 31.1974 % 18.84% 12.36% { KK+, AKs, AKo }
Hand 2: 31.1974 % 18.84% 12.36% { KK+, AKs, AKo }
Hand 3: 37.6052 % 35.44% 02.17% { JTs, JTo }

Edit: BTW, I have no idea who you guys are who play at UB, but I can tell the 2+2 table from the "fold, fold, raise, fold, fold, fold" action.

I been raising in position with AA and AK.

Also, anyone else have PT problems with this game? I thought it would just work....
