deal making on Poker Stars(nc)
Probably an old boring topic but the search function is somebody's twisted idea of a joke.
I've been playing almost exclusively on Party.I just recently started playing MTTs on Poker Stars. I am not familiar with the deal making option available there. I am used to Party's steep structure and always playing for a top 3 finish. I've had two top 18 finishes at Poker Stars. I think my higher level of aggresion got me in trouble both times. Well, not recognizing the tightness of villian is what really got me in trouble.
It seems that many players who had stacks around the FT average were just sitting on their stacks and waiting(some were even sitting out). I would never consider this in a Party tournament.
How prevalent is the deal making at PS final tables?
Do you adjust your play to play for a deal?
It seemed that many of the players were very familiar with each other. If you just hang around for a deal are you going to get frozen out by 5 or 6 players only playing against you?
