Okay, WTF is going on?????
WTF is going on with Party Poker?
From May to September, my experience at Party $10/$20 6max (and a little $20/$40) was as follows: That's about 2.4 BB/100 over more than 50,000 hands. __________________________________________________ ____________ From September to Decemember, things have gone as follows: That's 0.2 BB/100 over more than 40,000 hands. __________________________________________________ ___________ <font color="blue">Two significant changes come to mind: 1. Party seperated from 'The Skins'. 2. Party's rake at the 6max tables increased to $3.</font> I swear, though, it's honestly starting to feel like the new Party is rigged.... not to mention currently not having rakeback. Adam P.S. I know I'm not the only winning 2+2'er who's reporting these recent trends ... |

Re: Okay, WTF is going on?????
hopefully for you, it's just a little downturn. The 50K you made from May to Sept has to ease the pain a little. I think it's only common sense to know that the games will be a little tougher because of the Party split. Anytime you start spreading players over more sites, it is going to make it somewhat tougher to find as many good tables to play at. Good luck.

Dude, I wish I could have a winning period like yours. Hopefully the experts here at 2+2 will assist me in getting to that level. It will also be interesting to see if many more 2+2'ers show a pattern such as yours.

Me a few of other 2+2'ers I speak to had a seriously long/painful breakeven stint after the Party split, infact for some of us it was the worse month we had ever experienced.
Weird. |

Re: Okay, WTF is going on?????
it's also not uncommon to get feelings of cockyness and invinceability (spelling??...I suck) after a decent stretch of winning (or even a short run).
After the cockyness sets in you might be making less than ideal plays....trying to push your players off hands when they're NOT going to be folding...and using warped reasoning to call-down with borderline garbage. Frequently, people who do this will THINK they are still playing just as strongly as they were when they were winning...and don't fully realize how many leaks have developed in their game. I've battled with this form of tilt over and over and over....my current stretch if my worst by far though. In short: If you see bad players with 60/10 stats in your games then it's probably not the game, it's YOU (or, at least, it's ME). However, it is also worth noting that if you had a computer simulation for a consistent 1.5BB/100 player it wouldn't be that unusual at all for consecutive graphs such as yours to develop for such a relatively short-term period of hands. in other words - how much you win after 50k hands can still be pretty far off your true win rate so don't read too much into the results there. This shouldn't stop you though from fully discounting the possibility that your game might have gone backwards just a little bit. It's possible anyway. But my voice on this seems to be in the minority...perhaps I'm just not as fondly remembering the super-maniacs who try to bluff-cap me on every street with unimproved-undercards. I know the pots were bigger back in the day and the play was perhaps a bit looser...but I see 60/10 donks all over the place so I know the games arent THAT impossible to beat. |
