Re: Party Beginner Tables

Is it true? Yes.

How long can you play there? 45 days after sign-up.

Is it a good game? Fishiest game I've seen online.

What are the limits? up to 1-2 (LHE).

Is it worth playing? ...

Re: I think it\'s time... pt. 2

Have been using PT for about 3 months, but I played for over a year before that. I do find it quite useful, but I'm not sure if it would have been just starting out.

The best thing about PT for...

Re: Brick & Mortar noob question

1. My normal B&M game is 3/6, and I always buy in for a rack ($100), and plan for a 2nd rack if I need it (total; 33.3 BB). I might go for a 3rd rack, but that will be dependent upon my assessment...

Re: Kill games

What makes a kill pot a little different from simply a higher-stakes hand is the increased forced bets (i.e., the kill) and the inability of SB/BB to limp for their normal discount.

I either raise...

Re: Poker Tracker Question

You mentioned not knowing what the abbreviations are; while the threads have that info, thought I...

Re: Experts: What would you change about how you learned poker?

After little more than a year, I'm nowhere NEAR expert, probably more like "beginner +". But looking back on the experience thus far, a couple of comments:

Re: First post ever! A question about my PT stats.

Very valid point. If my post gave the impression that I was saying the "macro stats" are unimportant, that was an unintentional error on my part. I was simply trying to convey that the OP shouldn't...

Re: Best place to play and stay in California?

You said you'd be here for a several months. After you've been in LA a little while, a weekend trip down to San Diego (only 1 1/2 hours away) might be a good change of scenery. Oceans Eleven,...

Re: What\'s your favorite SEAT at the table, and why?

I generally prefer the end seats, partly for the reasons you already discussed in the original post, plus the ability to view every player without being quite so obvious about it.

That said,...

Re: First post ever! A question about my PT stats.

57.5 not at all bad. Heck, I wish I could get mine UP to this number. I'm no stat expert, but I seem to remember one of the posts here identifying 50-58 as the optimum range. Even if it were out...

Re: Online Poker : 75% of loosers

That's a good point, which had not occurred to me before. I'm a winning player (by a modest amount). But over last two years, Pacific and Party would count me as a winner, while Paradise and...

Re: Online Poker : 75% of loosers

1. I don't think that's true. Online games are typically tighter, not looser, for a given limit.

2. Even if it WERE true, looser games make it EASIER to win, not harder.

3. Regardless of...

Re: Those long boring sessions....

Re: a ruling from last night (sticky)

Re: AQ following a TAG\'s open-raise

What I didn't want is to raise, have CO fold, and MP2 fold to my raise, which is consistent with the range of hands I put him on.

Re: I fold JJ pf

I'll lead by saying I'm not sure what I think about this. Fold is probably correct play, but just to play devil's advocate, I think argument in favor of calling would go as follows:

Re: Outs for Gut Shot and Set. Call?

I don't think it's a horrible call (the turn, that is...the flop gaffe has already been covered), but I do still think it's slightly -EV. I'm not quite the number-crunching math whiz like many on...

Re: When do you start second-guessing?

Good point about the distractions. I do stay away from the booze; except for maybe my first 4-5 times at a casino where I had one beer (over a year ago), I don't think I've had a drink in a casino...

Re: When do you start second-guessing?

Good points about the low PPs; this is all stuff I "knew" already, but have gotten sloppy on...I've probably been playing them a little too indiscriminately. Am going to reread GSIH, SSHE, and HEFAP...

Re: When do you start second-guessing?

Hmmm....no, I'm playing PP pretty much every time. As long as I'm not on button or CO, I feel pretty sure that I'll get a late limper and both blinds, whether raised or not. This is one of those...
