Has anyone won with Miller Short Stack?

What size game are you all playing and winning at? (25NL, 50NL, etc.)

Works just fine on the Party 600 games.

Gallopin Gael · #3 12-10-2005, 12:31 PM

good to hear.

I guess the next question would be, what kind of win rate is everyone having?

Rudbaeck · #4 12-10-2005, 01:26 PM

I got around 3PTBB/100, with a standard deviation somewhere in the 15-17PTBB/100 range. (Which is amazing, as it looks just like good-great limit stats.) I don't have that PT database here, so I am shooting numbers from memory, but it should be fairly close.

Yes, but if you played with a full stack, you should be able to reach at least double that number.

Yeah, but then he'd have to think and actually "play" poker [img]/images/graemlins/grin.gif[/img]

I tried it, ran at about 4-5PTBB over 5k hands, got very bored and went back to playing limit.

I can't 16 table with a deep stack. [img]/images/graemlins/wink.gif[/img] Heck, I can't even 8-table with a deep stack, so for me it'd be a loss.

To be perfectly honest I am hard pressed to 4-table with a deep stack. Which means don't play all that much cash game NL, as I make a significantly better hourly wage playing limit, due to it being easier to multitable without starting to do really, really stupid things.

And yes, as others have pointed out, playing SSS is about the most boring exercise ever devised by man.

not true, do you see why?

I will let others elaborate.

$25NL table.

Hero is on the button with JJ and $5.
Villain (~$20 stack) limps from UTG.
Hero bets $1.50, Villain calls, everyone else folds.
Flop is KKK.
Villain checks, Hero goes all-in, Villain calls...with 92o.

So the answer to your question is, a pretty good win rate. But I can definitely see where the "deep stacks make even more money" people are coming from.
