from bad to horrible

If you have PT, look at your VP$IP per level. It should be quite low on the first 2-3 levels (below 20?). It should then rise steadily. At levels 6+, it should probably be at 50+.

Hmm... I don't get quite that loose. FWIW, my numbers are:

Lvl 1: 9%
Lvl 2: 8%
Lvl 3: 11%
Lvl 4: 18%
Lvl 5: 23%
Lvl 6: 28%
Lvl 7: 34%
Lvl 8: 35%
Lvl 9: 42%

If you play HU where the one with the smaller stack has 8BB, and your opponent is a maniac who always pushes and always call your pushes, you will win 53% of the games. Almost all players who don't know this are too passive late, even if they are "maniacs" on level 1.

I'm generally more aggressive then my opponents when playing HU. However, I'm not quite up to pushing/calling hands like 62o or 83o, but I will push with T9s and such. I generally end up getting caught calling with KJs and finding out my opponent has AJ.

It's really fun being everyone's science project...

This comment: "I'm only playing 5 or 6 hands per tourney, and they don't seem particularly remarkable"

Ok, maybe I'm exaggerating -- 5 or 6 is down to the bubble. Once we're there or ITM, I get mixed up in a lot more.

DF, you have like 2,000 posts. What other part of the forum are you coming from?

He's posted a ton in the Zoo and SSH.

It took me 30 seconds to figure this out.

And don't forget the micro-limits.

I spent the last year or so working my way up from the .05/.10 limit games to the 3/6 games. I basically got sick of the grind and switched for a change.

Yugo, can you see the difference between your response and OP's?

[/ QUOTE ]

Yeah, I'm not a total trash poster, but I do tend to reply a lot to threads I start (as evidenced by this thread). [img]/images/graemlins/smile.gif[/img]

Ironically, I started a thread a while back complaining about having too many posts for my limited knowledge.

dfscott, Do you play on Stars at all? I play the 10+1 on PokerStars and I could swear that I have played you.

I have, but I doubt you've seen me there at the SnGs. I cut my poker teeth at the PS .05/.10 limit tables back in March of last year before I built my roll large enough to move to Party/Empire around July (seems like years ago).

The only SnGs I played at PS were 20-30 5s and 6s back in June/July of last year. I also played about 1/2 dozen 5s in January of this year, but haven't played there since.

Easy enough to do with PT (unless you specifically wanted the next 25). Here's the last 25 that I was ITM:

5100 - 2nd (the longest 3-handed game I ever played - 32 hands until HU)


[/ QUOTE ]



Are you kidding???? 32 hands is the longest you've taken to get to HU on party?

As previously stated, I need to get on party.

Last week I was in a 10+1 game where it was heads up in level 2. That was fun to watch.

32 hands from 3-handed to HU -- not 32 hands from the start.

Party's fast, but it's not that fast.

Understood. I almost made a deposit!
