table selection at party

jjacky · #1 06-11-2005, 08:09 AM

hi,

i used to play at pacific, but some days ago i changed to a party skin. after 1000 hands the average see flop percentage is 31, opposed to 42% at pacific, both at 2/4$.

my poker tracker found pretty many fish the last nights, i have about 50 in my buddy list. but i am from europe, that means i play to unusual times and most of my "buddys" are offline when i want to play.

here are my questions:
1) what's the ASF in your low limit party games?
2) does the daytime when i play has an important influence on the ASF or the strength of the opponents in general?
3) any tips how to improve my table selection?
4) any further thoughts?

Looks like you ought to stay at Pacific... Those are some interesting stats. I wonder if Party is overrated compared to other sites fish wise... [img]/images/graemlins/confused.gif[/img]

pacific is number one fish wise, but that's the only upside.

poker listings (www.pokerlistings.com) rates party with 7 points in soft competition and pacific with 10. i can`t believe, that the difference is that big.

poker in general is only that fishy at US - maintime.

european afternoon/ early evening : 1,4 BB
european late evening : 2,4 BB
weekend nights: 4,3 BB

Don't know if these are solucky's stats cut by time or what, be he's right. If you want the really soft games, you have to play very late Euro-time. Many disagreements in the micros and 1TT are caused, imo, by players who are playing in different time zones seeing dramatically different pools of players.

Solucky, so the worst time to play poker on the net is US nights, because that is when all the 2+2er's are playing?

I have noticed a few good (=TAG) European players that seem to start playing 11:00 PM-1:00 AM US Eastern time. I suspect these guys are rolling out of bed around 4:00 AM their time and getting in a couple of hours before they go to work, school or whatever. I guess it is also possible that they work some sort of night job and are playing before they go to bed.
