I'm on life tilt or I would try it.

1500 dollars lost in 2 days does that to you.

Your life is beautiful, I was down 1500 about an hour after I woke up [img]/images/graemlins/frown.gif[/img]

Yeah but you play higher buy-ins! Your bankroll is bigger.

My bankroll (was) only 5 grand.

Now it's 3500 dollars.

That makes me sad.

I know just wanted to vent. 25 in a row is unbelievable to me...you should probably play $10s for now until you get a few ITM's again to cure your sadness and realize that it is possible to make the final 3.

<<I sent Party an email, their structure is changing to the following effective one week from now:

Level 1 - Blinds 5-10
Level 2 - Blinds 10-15
Level 3 - Blinds 10-20
Level 4 - Blinds 15-30
Level 5 - Blinds 20-40
Level 5 - Blinds 25-50
Level 6 - Blinds 50-75
Level 7 - Blinds 50-100
Level 8 - Blinds 75-150
Level 9 - Blinds 100-200
Level 10 - Blinds 150-300
Level 11 - Blinds 200-400
Level 12 - Blinds 250-500
Level 13 - Blinds 300-600

I am officially confused. Have they simply added a level (150-300) or are they changing the entire blind structue, as this post claims?
Thanks,
Les

I guess I should have easily known it was a joke. I mean, what are the chances of PP actually replying to an email???

So, rather than think the quick end of the SnG and push or fold play is robotic and worthless, I think it is actually quite worthwhile and valuable to have in your arsenal.

I think you and Scuba misunderstood what I was trying to say. Push or fold play isn't worthless; of course, it's the most important part of an SNG (tell me that *after* I won a multi today, among other reasons, because some guy folded getting 12:1 pot odds on an any two call.) It's also the easiest part of the game to learn, *by far*, and a bot can be programmed to be mathematically flawless at it. Just tell it to push or fold every hand with under 10BB according to ICM principles and 'average' opponents for the limit, and it will be a winning player. It will then proceed to drain the fish faster than you can possibly imagine, because each copy four tables and there are hundreds of copies. (On top of that, fish don't like all in or fold-athons. They like to play and hit middle pairs and call down and pick off three straight value bluffs. That's what they do best.)

After all that, it will still be very beatable (if my table was filled with 9 saabpos I'd come out ahead and so would you) but not as much as 9 guys who suck are beatable. Therefore, I think the future of profitable poker lies in either games that are harder for a bot to beat, such as PLO or higher stakes LHE, or, in SNG's, formats that allow for more play and do not favor all in/fold bots. That's all. By no means did I mean to imply that there's an inflection point where bots will beat people or anything; they probably never will, as they are easily enough counterable. But they *will* cut into your maximum profit margins, especially at a site like Party where after 40 hands all in or fold bots can play around 95% correctly.
