Re: player differences between .5/1 and 1/2 @ party
There are a few more tight and, relatively speaking, better players.
It's nothing to get worked about though. If you can beat one you can beat the other. |

Not the same. There are some threads about this within the last week. Check the list of posts going back a few days.

Re: player differences between .5/1 and 1/2 @ party
if the players are better and more aggressive, your edge will be less bb/100 than before, and therefore you should expect greater swings in terms of bb/100 over 5k hands or so.
twice the cash means you can play half the tables at the same hourly rate while getting better education / 100 hands. [img]/images/graemlins/smile.gif[/img] |

Re: player differences between .5/1 and 1/2 @ party
Because there are much more better players on this stake, you must have a good and nearly complete Pokertracker-Database, because you want to play against the noobs. And you need to play a little tighter. Some Hands like 99 you raise for value profitable if there are many bad and loose players on this table. But if the opponents play tighter 99 is no hand for preflop valueraises, because your opponents will call and reraise you only with hands that are better than your 99 most times.

[/ QUOTE ] 30VPIP is 5-7% too high at .5/1, 25VPIP is prob a couple points to high as well and if you are playing that many hands you need a PFR of 12-13ish its not that tough of game to beat though, a little tighter, slightly better/more aggro players but overall still a soft game [ QUOTE ] Because there are much more better players on this stake, you must have a good and nearly complete Pokertracker-Database [/ QUOTE ] no you don't first off they are a little better, but not much, they don't payoff in general with junk as often, and are a little tighter ... but most of the players are still pretty bad |

Re: player differences between .5/1 and 1/2 @ party
My PT database is very incomplete, and I have no troubles beating the .5/1, 1/2 games (or 2/4 for that matter). PT is helpful, but it is definitely not necessary at all. I'm sure a lot of players here could crush those limits just as easily without it.
At .5/1, a good, loose table ends up being about 8BB average pots with about 40%+ VPIP. A good 1/2 table is about 6-7 BB average pots with VPIP about 35% (from my experience). You shouldn't have to make many adjustments to beat it, just be aware of more aggresive players. |

Re: player differences between .5/1 and 1/2 @ party
If you were a "much better player" wouldnt you rather play at 2/4 and up?
It's a little bit tighter/aggressive but I wouldnt say it's filled with "much better players" and that it requires a complete PT database. |
