1/2 Full Tables Stink. Little Money to Be Made There.

TomBrooks · #1 09-11-2005, 01:47 AM

1/2 Full is a much tougher game than .5/1. There is little money to be made there. It stinks. Thats on Party, everywhere else is worse. I have little idea why anyone plays anywhere else. I'm beginning to think online full ring is a waste of time above the .5/1 level. And even if your killing the .5/1 game, you can only make a few dollars an hour, so there is nowhere to go online for a decent profit. Anyone disagree?

All I know is that you all better stay away from my 6max fishies.

I think it's fine over a small sample. Shorthanded is more profitable no doubt.

1/2 6 max stinks too. Not only is there no profit there, all I do is lose money there. I'm down almost 250BB there over my first 10k. I might be running bad though. It's hard for me to believe that I'm losing with all the donks that are there, but I am. I think the rake is worse on 6max too. And you rarely get real big pots.

there is a ton of profit in the 6max games, the rake sucks .. but the opposition is horrible

maybe that superhigh VPIP that you stubbornly have kept is finally catching up with you.

What are you stats @ 1/2 6max? I remember seeing your stats at fulltable and your vpip was higher then my 6max vpip. I usually run about 25-27 vpip w/ a 14-16 PFR(20k hands) and havent had many bumps in the road

I agree there is a ton of bad players there. Maybe my .5/1 Full Magic just doesn't work there. I beat .5/1 6m OK for a few hands but I'm bored with .5/1 now. I started off 1/2 6m around 30/18 but I've been trying to tighten up very recently. I'm going about 25/17 or so now but still doing terrible. I'm the tightest or almost tightest player on almost every table I play. I'm the most aggressive on most of them.

But I'm still losing. One thing I just found out is that my blind play stunk badly and I haven't played enough since I realized that to see if that will turn things around. Part of the problem may be I've gotten a lot of suckouts and just might be running bad too. And I'm sure I could play a lot better there. There is a lot more bluffing which I'm not used to.
