Re: How do you make money in SSNL?
I am 95% certain that you have those two confused. At stars $100 you should bully (in the right spots) and party $25 you should just value bet (they are all loose callers).

[/ QUOTE ] Variance is a bitch eh? [img]/images/graemlins/cool.gif[/img] I said party x-skins at the $25 game, not the party $25 game. Before EB split (I haven't played them since) my opinion is that the x-skins were full of weak-tighties in the $25 game. When I tried to play in the paradise 100 game or stars 100 game, coming from the x-skin 25's, I found that because I was being called more, I was losing money, and therefore had to adjust to a value-betting strategy. --Dave. |

Re: How do you make money in SSNL?
An analogy would be to see yourself as a spider patiently waiting for something to fall into your trap.
You use your patience to wait for high quality hands. When you hit the nuts,, and you have an opponent who is happy with their hand, you try to maximize your lkely return. That's the upside. Many times, lady luck neither smiles nor frowns on us. She simply ignores us. Here discipline to wait it out, and more importantly discipline to not lose a lot of money on second best hands because you have grown impatient , is what earns you your pay check. Losing a lot less than the next guy, when the cards go against you, is just as important as winning a lot when the cards are hot. |

Re: How do you make money : benchmarks for you
My worst run of cards was 0 for 80 hands at a 6 person table. I never hit a thing.
A really hot session sees me winning 30% of hands dealt, not just played , for about an hour. Oddly enough, these statistics have almost no correlation with the amount of money won or lost. I've won 30% of hands and been about even, and other times my $25 original stake now sits at $120. The difference is "lady luck" in my opinion. Your opponents must be dealt good second best hands in order for your top hands to make any money. We have all won $1.20 with a full boat on the flop, because nobody else got anything. I hope this helps. |

Re: How do you make money in SSNL?
I'm currently playing in a place with some amazing crap players, and *very* high "see flop %" rate. In those situations, pair hands (AQ, JJ) are toilet paper. When 7 guys see the flop, more often than not, a pair won't stand up.
In a 30% flop % game, the standard 3x-4x+limpers bb raise is adequate, but not in uber-loose games. Consider raising your JJ/QQ to 6x-8x+limpers when there's limpers behind you. If you just take the blinds, fine. Those hands aren't where the $ comes from. At a 4x raise, you'll get 4-5 callers, and be in a very akward position when the flop comes. The $ at very low stakes is in doubling up on AA/KK, and on monster hands. Screw AJ. Hello 34s. Straights and flushes are where it's at. You get odds to make your draws profitable 70% of the time, and sometimes even correct odds to stick around with your bottom pair, ace kicker. Implied odds for flushes are much better, since a lot of players don't respect the suits on the board, and a lot of players simply can't see straight and flush possibilities. If you can put someone on anything more then TPTK, and you know you have them beat, push. Two pair will ALWAYS look you up in a $10 game. Hope that helps. |

Re: How do you make money in SSNL?
I think to win at these stakes you should just start with a nut peddling strategy and slowly build up the position bluffing/valuebetting depending on how tight/loose your opponents are.

Re: How do you make money in SSNL?
Most of the opponents I find at the 25NL are quite passive. They are happy to call your bets with any piece of the board, but when they reraise you they generally have something. Then you need to figure out which ones show this aggression with TPTK and which only show it with 2 pair or better.
But generally just try and stay patient, wait until you get a big hand and then value bet, value bet and value bet some more. |
