Re: Party adding more 30/60 tables..

So you're saying that they do limit the number of 15/30 6max tables? Then shouldn't the waiting lists for the few they have be really long? The few times I've glanced at it, there were...

Re: 99 in the SB (30/60)
I agree with those who said that the only necessary to change is check/calling the river to hopefully induce a bluff, but I think the caveat should be added that this is the right *default* play. How...

It seems to me that you got robbed with the ruling, although it did end up working out fine. As for the ethics of it, I personally don't consider it ethical to tell someone they should go all in, but...

Re: Comparing Limit to NL
That low? I would have thought NL would be at least double the profitability of limit rather than barely more.

Comparing Limit to NL
Okay, I'm a winning 15/30 player on Party. I multitable for slightly under 3BB/100. I've been wanting to move up in limits, but that's not possible on Party and other sites just don't seem to have...

Re: Ultra high buy-in SnG...beatable?
I was talking about *average* $200 SNGs, not the ones full of all the best regulars, but even then, you guys are good, but not *that* good. Get over yourself.

Re: Ultra high buy-in SnG...beatable?
1. $5000 is way too low stakes for a SnG for the best players in the world. $50,000 would be better, but probably still too low.
2. A very, very good player should be able to beat $200+15's for at...

Re: 30/60 bellagio
A fine example of how to throw away money to A9s, T9s or 55-88. You should have called the river. I like your play okay other than that. He looks like a man with either a 9 or a lower pocket pair to...
