Party 2/4 full vs. 3/6 full?

emartin762 · #1 08-10-2005, 12:56 AM

Sorry about this being asked frequently,
I started with $1200 and 4 tabled party 2/4 full ring games and made the 150 BB (in 1300 hands, great run of cards?) for the proper bankroll for 3/6 games. Any advice or suggestions on the transition or how the games will differ? Using poker tracker and playerview, and rated as an eagle if that helps anything.
Thanks

3/6 full is a lot harder.

My honest suggestion would be to take the route of 1/2 6-max and begin to learn to play shorthanded. Don't start at .50/1--it's honestly a waste of time. The play is so horrendous I recommend skipping it as you won't learn a thing.

Once you beat 1/2 6max for say 3BB/100 after at least 10k hands, I then recommend moving up to 3/6 6max. After that you can either do 5/10 6max (have fun) or 5/10 full.

GL, and HF.

If you're going to go the 6max route, $2-4 6max on Stars is not a bridge between the Party games.

$3-6 full is definitely harder to beat than $2-4. While still beatable, you will run into many more good players at this level. Generally tighter PF, and more aggressive.

Well I would prefer to stick to full ring games, instead of a 6 max route, although I will definately try the suggestion of learning the 1/2 6 max in the future. would it make sense to keep beating the 2/4 full game, make it to 300 BB for 5/10 full if it has the same level of play as the 3/6?

I dont think the 3/6 and 5/10 have the same level of competition at all. I cant speak for the 2/4 as I, for the most part, skipped it.

Why do you say the Stars game is not a bridge? Typo?

If you are talking to about the full games on party, the difference is not large, in my opinion.

Well if i were you i would continue with the 2/4 full ring games rathering then moving up. After 30k hands or so on just my pt im rated a money bag and i have the br for the 3/6, but i feel my skill level isnt there yet. Instead of moving up limits so fast you could just increase your MTR. Currently i am playing 7 tables usually averaging a MTR of 6 or so. Once Im very confident in my game i will then move up to about 3 tables of 3/6 until i again feel comfortable to add more tables. But this is just the advice of one 2/4 grinder to another.

Yes, it was a typo. I originally had "not a bad jump between" and switched to "bridge." And forgot to delete "not: [img]/images/graemlins/tongue.gif[/img]

Honestly 2/4 full and 3/6 full games are substantially different. Ive been told, not sure if it can be vouged for but its one of the hardest transitions to make skill wise. I play 2/4 and 3/6 constantly and there really is a big difference between the two.
Since you admitted yourself that you caught a good run of cards in 2/4 might as well stick that out for awhile let your win rate even out and see how well your truly beating the game then take a couple cracks at 3/6.
By the way i never liked playing 6 max games but its clear that 6 max will be the way to go atleast with regards to online play so i would recommend trying to gain some experience with 6 max probably 1/2.
