Dont fool yourself into thinking that playing 6 tables helps you focus more.

Clearly I've already been fooled.

If you have good focus you can play 1-2 tables without getting bored.

[/ QUOTE ]
Clearly my focus is poor.

Sounds like you are an action junky, this is a bad habit to pickup when it comes to gambling.

[/ QUOTE ]
Clearly my habits are inadequate.

I agree. The 1/3 blind structure really has to give you pause on some of the hands you complete with, especially with the somewhat tight tables. Plenty of hands that I would automatically complete the SB with in .5/1 and 1/2, even 2/4, have to become a fold at times in 3/6. The "any two suited" rule is a good example of a rule that doesn't always apply anymore -- I won't complete 92s in the SB playing 3/6 unless there've been more limpers than normal for a 3/6 game.

In SSH Miller suggests only completing hands in the SB that you would play on the button in a 1/3 blind structure game.

Funny, I was actually gonna say that (now I know why I guess [img]/images/graemlins/smile.gif[/img]). I would never paly 92s from the button, hence I would never play it anywhere.

Are you playing 3/6? Or 2/4, or some other game where the small blind if half of the big... In any game where the small blind is LESS than half of the big blind... you have to tighten up your small blind play CONSIDERABLY.

For example: would you play 92s on the button against 4 and the big blind?

I've mostly played .5/1 - 2/4 online, as well as some 2/4 and 5/10 live. Out of probably 80,000 total limit hands I've ever played, 7/8ths are in a 1/2 blind structure. I have played some 3/6, and I do tighten up considerably. I doubt I've ever played 92s or somesuch, just because the game would have to be extremely loose-passive to get enough limpers, and Party's 3/6 just isn't passive enough for that to happen.

That's why I brought it up -- I've tightened up my SB play, but for the most part I haven't had too many close PF calls anyway. This was more curious speculation than anything.

Playing too tight out of the SB in 3/6 is pretty hard to do IMO.

I didn't say I played too tight, I said I tightened up considerably. [img]/images/graemlins/wink.gif[/img]

I've long known that I'm a mediocre poker player compared to people on these boards. :-p

That's why I mostly just sit and read, read, read... planning to devour some archival action over winter break.

I know you didn't say that. I meant that playing uber-tight is very important. I guess I don't write that well. [img]/images/graemlins/frown.gif[/img]

Or I can't read. One of the two.

On the bright side, your avatar is pink, and that makes me happy.
