Default Anyone in here been able to convincingly beat the 1/2 full ring game??

I crushed the .50/1 game but after 7.5k hands, im running even in the 1/2 tables. For anyone that beat the 1/2 game can you post your PT stats so I can see how you approached the game.

this applies for party skins only

I am in the exact same boat as you, except I am a little bit down in the 1/2 after crushing the .5/1

I'd like to see info on this as well.

I beat the full 1/2 game like it stole something.

Of course, I'm awesome.

this is all going by what I heard, but try the 1/2 9 max games (or 6 max if you like SH games) For some reason, that one less player makes everyone wanna go ape

95% Party

.5/1 -- 13k hands -- 4.35 BB/100

1/2 -- 4k hands -- (-3.96)BB/100

I lost $200 on just one 1/2 table just last night. My biggest single table loss ever. I kept reloading because the table generally had the highest overall VPIP and most fishy players of any I was playing...and I took a bath. Some of it was certainly just bad cards and bad beats, but I can't blame it all on that. I was mostly 4 tabling while clearing BONUSJUN. I was -$250. on all 1/2 tables for the night.

I'm going to stop multitabling 1/2 and try it one table at a time or maybe two. It is definately not working out for me yet.

Are you playing a Party skin or another site?

I don't consider there to be any significant difference between the 9max and full ring games. PT lumps them together and to my way of thinking they are virtually the same. Does anyone who actually plays them see a problem with that?

As far as 6max, I only have 500 hands there, but I think it is a completely different game with little comparison to the full ring game.

I play Crypto and PS and I'm beating 1/2 for 2.79BB/100 after 5,057 hands. I'm guessing that I don't have hands for these numbers to mean anything though.

I have been crushing the stars 1/2 full ring for about the last month when I switched over to limit from NL. Granted, this is not a long period of time. VPIP ~18, PFR ~6 but have recently moved this up to 8 or 9 on the advice of people here. Very aggressive postflop with premium hands.

I find that there is some very bad play at this level and always good games during peak hours.

yeah party skin.. ive herad from people that some will build a 400 BB roll through .50/1 and then jump directly to the 2/4 games

but it doesnt make sense to me, if you can't beat the 1/2 game, how are you gonna beat the 2/4
