PP 1/2 SH vs 3/6 SH

#1 12-01-2005, 11:12 AM

I am in the early stages of concidering taking a jump to the next level of SH at PP. I currently play the 1/2 level and seem to be crushing it, although my sample size is probobly too small. Since PP does not have 2/4 SH, if I were to stick with PP I would have to go to 3/6 level. Would this be wise, or would it be a smarter decision to play 2/4 at another site.

I would be very intested to hear the difference between 1/2 and 3/6 at PP in your experience. Also a recommendation on a site for the 2/4 would be appreciated.

More aggressive (not much tho), a little higher percentage of TAGs. If you feel like exercising table/seat selection, there are some great tables to be found.

Right now I'm at 2 tables with two 50+ VPIPs to my right on both.

If you want a stopover at 2/4 SH, Eurobet (now on PokerRoom network) has a 100% match up to $600, will need around 6k hands to clear. It's a pretty sweet bonus and will clear pretty fast at the 2/4 SH. It's 5max at pokerroom, and the software takes a little getting used to, but man are the players bad there. This morning I had a guy to my left who was 93% vpip, like zero aggression. Also, you can sit at any open seat, so you can get position pretty easily.

Either way, a $600 bonus is a sweet boost for the bankroll.

I just read on bonuswhores.com that the bonus is only good on accounts created before 11/22. Althought it says that for reloads. Is it also true with any new accounts?

Not sure about new accounts, check their website. I think it's for all accounts because it was on their homepage. i had an old account from before the split so...

The rake there makes it not really worth it.

When I moved to the 3/6 games at Party I found them easier than 1/2. I said EASIER not more profitable! And that was mainly b/c ppl can fold there and you have plenty of weak and most important predictable TAGs. If you have the BR move there immediately. You won't achieve a 1/2 winrate but you are going to learn a lot more at 3/6

I did the Absolute 1/2 to 2/4 to PP 3/6 route, so I am not that familiar with PP 1/2 or Pokerstars 2/4, but from what I have played, it seems that PS 2/4 is a good middle step between PP 1/2 and PP 3/6. Plus the rake at Stars is quite good at 2/4--I think it is $1 at $20, $40, and $70, which is somewhat better than the Party/Prima model of $1 at $20 followed by $0.50 at $30 and $40, and is much better than sites that start raking before $20.

Out of curiousity, what is the difference between party's and pokerroom's short-handed rake? I've looked at all different rake charts and they all give different results.

The players are so bad, I don't think the rake could make that big of a difference. You probably need like 1 pot an hour with some moron calling you down with bottom pair to make up for it.

But maybe I'm wrong. According to BonusWhore's website, the bonus cleared at like $9-11 an hour for $2/4 SH.
