When does fishing no longer apply?
 
At what level do the fish go away? What percentage of players are fish at the following levels? Do you notice changes in your BB/100 winrate as you move up? I mean is there a level where your BB/100 winrate is lower, such that you were actually making more money per 100 hands at the level one step down?

Thanks.

I wish I could view the results before I voted. I haven't played in any of these games, but I'm awfully interested in knowing.

Yeah me too, I am pretty sure he is talking about online poker, but I wonder if he would get a better response in the Mid-, High Stakes forum. But then again there are more people in the zoo than in that forum. So who knows.

I am so sorry, this was my first attempt at doing a poll and now it will not let me go back and edit it.

I only voted for the 3/6 full since that's the only level I've played that's included in the poll; I was able to view the poll results after only voting for the 3/6.

It took me about 10 minutes to do, once I got the first set of answers done I just cut and pasted them. Again I am sorry about the poll this was my first poll. If I ever make another poll that is opinion based, I will make it viewable to all.

It wasn't stupid, He just needed to add an "I have never played this high" option.

Its his first poll, lighten up.

Re: When does fishing no longer apply?
 
I think the best way to get the most correct and also the most answers on a poll is this:
1. Make voting mandatory before viewing results
2. Add an option that goes something like this "I don't know, but I want to see the results"

Because people are often curious enough to want to see the results of the poll but perhaps not curious enough to really answer it you are now forcing them to actually cast a vote to see the results. And since they are now clicking radio buttons anyway they might just click a real poll option if they do have an opinion.

I want to see results too but don't play limit . . .

Re: When does fishing no longer apply?
 
IMO, this poll in pretty useless (inaccurate?) since 9 voters picked 91-100% fish at every level; serious doubts those 9 voters really beleive that to be the case.

U should re-post this poll (including all the criticisms above) to the mid/high limit forum, you should get some meaningful data there.

The problem as I see it is the concept of fish is a bit too flexible to quantify in this way.

In my experience fish usually refers to someone who is clearly weaker than the user, which obviously depends on the strength of the user and to what extent he overvalues his ability.

Re: When does fishing no longer apply?
 
I have taken all the advice and have posted this in the Mid-, High- Stakes Limit section. I have included a button that states "I have not played this high or I just want to see the results." I hope this will help.

Thanks.
