Run over. 1/2 and 3/6 are far more aggressive that .5/1 and if you are unfamiliar with this style of play, or have an inadequate bankroll, you will quickly be exploited. |
Re: Ever do this during a \'down swing\' ???
If you are working on clearing a bonus, you want to be playing more hands in order to clear it faster rather than slower. If you go from 2 tables down to 1 table, it is going to take roughly twice as long to play the needed raked hands to clear the bonus.
If you drop to 1 table and go up to $2/$4, what happens if your 'slide' keeps going -- 20BB at $4 is then same as 80BB at $1 (and 20BB down really isn't a slide -- its just part of the game) Assuming you are playing relatively smart, then I think variance is the key factor here. I'm working on clearing bonuses on Party right now and playing on 3 or 4 $0.5/$1 tables. Last night on 3 tables, I was up 30BB on the first, down 30BB on the second and up 65BB on the third. I was playing the same on each table -- just had a couple of whack-nuts on the -30BB table who kept sucking out. (1 guy never raised PF with AA,KK,TT but did with 83o,64o -- go figure!

Yeah when I'm doing bad on poker I just put it all on red and pray.

Here is a question...
Thanks for your response.
Here's a question... Assuming you're a winning player... let's say you personally have been considering moving from .50/1 to 2/4 for quite a while. Let's also say that the results for your last 1000 hands had been a 100BB win. Or let's say the results for your last 1000 hands had been a 100BB loss. No in-between. One or the other. Now if you HAD to choose one of those scenarios to move up to 2/4... which would you choose? Would you rather move up (let's say someone had a gun to your head) after a 100BB win for 1000 hands... or would you rather move up after a 100BB loss for 1000 hands? And I know this isn't a real senario... but if it were... I'm interested in the decision you'd make personally. Kindly, EZ |

Re: Ever do this during a \'down swing\' ???
Many of the "recreational" poker players who play on Party either go to the lowest limit (.5/1) or start at the lowest limit offered in a casino, since this is what they are used to playing (2/4). A lot of the players at 1/2 are successful players at .5/1 who are moving up. Thus many people claim that 1/2 is actually more difficult than 2/4.
