Default Re: Table Selection how do you do that?

This is a good point, I don't know how many times I've sat down at a huge avg pot table, and when I get everyone in PT, they are all in the green and I have to leave.

I do what warlock does, I'll sit in for 2 cycles and if I feel that they are reasonably tight, I'll leave.

also, if the avg pot is high but everybody has buyin stacks, I usually leave. It usually means a big all in the hand before and both the winner and loser left and all thats there are new arrivals looking for action.

Default Re: Party NL 6max 50$ isnt whiffle ball is it?

My pokertracker stats show something like 48% of $25NL players seeing the flop as opposed to 46% at 50NL. Even at 100NL its something like 44%. Maybe you just hit a bad stretch of luck, or some tough tables.

Party counts uncalled bets as part of the pot size.

So if there's $20 in the pot on the turn and someone bets $20, Party counts it as a $40 pot. Meanwhile at another table there's a $20 pot on the turn, someone bets $10 and gets called, and they check down the river. That's also a $40 pot. But the two tables are playing completely different.

Default Re: What whiffle ball is

I have never heard whiffle ball used as a poker term (and I have never seen Rounders so maybe that's why), but I suppose it could describe a very loose game. Whiffle ball is a backyard game played like baseball. There is no skill requirement to play, and most people take a swing at every pitch.

By the way, I googled for whiffle ball and got a ton of hits.

I've played around these limits at Paradise and Prima. Paradise 25NL and 50NL I thought was clearly tougher than the same limits at Party. Prima is just as soft as Party at the 1/2 and 2/4 levels, I haven't played lower there but I'm sure it's similar. So Prima's a pretty good alternative to Party.

I do the highest average pot thing but you have to do it with some consideration.

If the waiting lists are long, here may also be some merit to selecting one maybe 20% down the list. The people ahead of you in line for the top table are likely better players than the ones leaving it. (Since, well. They're _you_ and your cohorts trying to join the laggy fish.)
