Default Just a rant....

Well I was running well until today...

KK 5x and lost 4 of them. 2x I was against AA, 1x vs AJ, A on the flop, then the worst of all. It's capped 3 ways. Flop is KJ7, flop is capped, turn is 7, turn is capped, river blank and capped, I lose to 77.

Default Re: Anybody really beating the new Party 30/60?

Did a lot of the higher stakes players "drop down" to the 30/60 when it opened up? There used to be a good number of okay 50/100, 80/160 and 100/200 games online, but now I can't find any in ET evenings, and I'm down 3.5 tabling it at 30/60. Well, I wanted to do that anyhow, since I had just experienced a ~500BB digger and needed to regroup.

cheers,
highland

I was wondering the same thing, I use to be 1.29bb/100 according to PT at the old 3 table set up, which I use to 3 table when I got bored of sngs/multis. I mean I got a couple pm's somedays from people like stox/jjprod that Im very good, and other days where 2+2ers PM me about a donkey hand.

Yes, I think that's part of it. If Schneids and bicyclekick and fifteen other pros comes over from other sites and start 4+ tabling the 30/60, that's going to have an impact on the game. The player pool is not all *that* large.

i think Schneids and Bicyclekick and the fifteen other pros should stay on Stars / UB...

i constantly run into very tough players/decisions on all 8 tables i play, sometimes more than one at a time.

even though i was soing VERY well in the first few weeks, i now also am up against some xtreme bad luck / skill streak.

the games must be tough, or i must be weak.

Let's shead a tear. So you dropped from $79 to $53 per 100
hands. Looks like you're doing well to me.

Just play more of the softer 15-30 games. You're not running bad--the 30-60 is most likely a lot tougher.
Probably you should pick your spots when you play the bigger limit.

maybe im a derb (though i am not THE derb), but I have been 4 tabling party 30/60 and have been crushing it. My BB/100 is 2.05 over 35,068 hands, and it really should be a little higher because I had a streak where I was playing really bad a little while ago, but am now back on track. Though i guess this can be expected every now and then.

I was a regular at the old 30/60, and I would have to say that since they added the new tables the games have been A LOT softer.

0.4BB/100 currently over 50K of new 30/60 games 4-tabling in average (3 to 6 tables). Had 2.4/100 in older 15/30 6-tabling for 200K. I suspect there are too little fishes and too much decent players to share fishes money.

To my opinion current 15/30 become tighter though still quite more passive comparing to 30/60, 30/60 didn't changed after adding more tables. Im seriously thinking if playing precisely SH 15/30-30/60 or 10/20 6max could be more profitable at least for me.

This post is bad news. I've seen you play many times, and though our styles are very different, I think you're a very good player. If it's true that a very good player (and I'm not necessarily saying that I am one, though I've had good results in the past) can only make 0.5 BB/100 in this game, my conclusion is that I'd be better off getting a real job with its accompanying paycheck stability, benefits, etc. And it wouldn't be even close.
