How many hands do you fold before you move tables?
After I just folded 3 orbits, I began to wonder. How long do I wait? I know this means I am playing OK preflop, but I was wondering how long some of you others have waited for starting cards. I guess playing 1 table at pacific makes it seem like an eternity too. If the players weren't so loose I would be more apt to move. [img]/images/graemlins/smirk.gif[/img]

OK, maybe not move tables. Bad choice of words. I was just wondering if runs of bad cards like that were common.
Us newbies hear about guys 'crushing' games, and making all this money it is easy to overlook how much folding and patience it takes to win consistently. I know there is a lot I have to learn. That's why I'm here.

Well the tables I've been playing haven't beet too tight that's for sure. Of course down here in the ghetto that's to be expected. I've seen 4 in a showdown many times. The problem is I'm getting dealt nuttin and the fish are feeding on themselves. Oh well, beats workin'. [img]/images/graemlins/smile.gif[/img]

[/ QUOTE ] Crushing games happens in two ways: 1) Maniac plays every hand possible, raises & reraises non stop, entire family pot table calls maniac to the river, maniac spikes his lucky card and takes down a 44 BB pot. Maniac is a fool and will loose in the long run, but for the day he just got lucky. 2) Smart & educated 2+2er is paitently waiting for the right cards to play. The table plays so bad that nobody notices that Hero rarely playes a hand unless he has an edge with his cards pre-flop and good position. 2+2 Hero pushes the small edge to the river when it allows on big multi-way pots, which sometimes works and sometimes does not. This gives the percieved effect of the Hero being loose - and creates a scenario when the rest of the table blindly call to the river like mice when the Hero raises and re-raises to continually push the edge of his winning expectation. Hence result - Hero plays only premium hands, knows when to fold early, and knows when it is wise to call down at the river for one more big bet even if he expects that he is beat. 2+2 Hero therefore crushes the table! Crushing can be a misleading term..... I hope the paragraph above helps you feel better [img]/images/graemlins/cool.gif[/img] TT in da club [img]/images/graemlins/club.gif[/img]

Re: How many hands do you fold before you move tables?
I could sit down at 6:00pm, fold every hand till midnight and leave happy with my play if thats what the cards dictated. I'm only leaving if I don't want to play or the game conditions become unfavourable.
